I walked over to the grocery store a little while ago to pick up some beer for the weekend. On the way I stopped in a little pet shop next door to the grocery. I have always enjoyed browsing around pets shops. This one had quite a good selection of birds. Everything from finches and parakeets to cockatoos and even a military macaw. I always liked parrots and have had several.
They also had several kittens. Now, I've never really been a "cat person" per se, but I don't really have anything against them either. One of the kittens, a little charcoal gray one, tried desperately to get my attention and to get me to pick it up. I petted it for a moment and scratched it's ears. It was kinda cute.
I was very tempted to buy it to have as a companion while riding the roads in my truck. But, like I said I've never really been a cat person and it would probably be more trouble than anything. I was sorely tempted though.
