Sam and I went to New Jersey, where I met his mother's side of the family. Sam's cousin and his wife have just launched a pet-oriented dating site, kissykat.com, "where people who love their pets find love."
What comes first, I wonder: owning four cats, or needing a date?
The cousin and wife currently own one cat, recently diagnosed with cancer, and plan to get two more in the near future. They're in talks to get Savannah cats, a new breed created by crossing the wildest of domestic cats (usually, Bengals) with the African serval. These new cats are huge; they can be walked on a leash and "show their affection by eagerly giving a welcoming 'head-butt' where they literally bump heads with you to say hello!" I have a morbid imagination, and immediately saw images of the Savannahs terrorizing the cancer-stricken cat by pretending to pounce on it from off the top of bookshelves.
