Let the adventure begin!

Several years ago I was in one of those dreaded corporate meetings. One of the managers running the meeting compared the problem we were discussing to "herding kittens". I just LOVED that image.

I have been owned by cats since I was five years old. You do not control them. They control you. I know that it is impossible to "herd kittens". However, I like to be in control of things. (Why on earth would you live with cats? You may ask). So, perhaps if we spell it a bit differently, it will have a different meaning and effect. Besides, I have never been the best speller. So, "hearding kittens" is kind of a metaphor for a lot of things. Mostly its about the chaos of life.

As a Person With Cat(s) as well, I like the oft-observed remark that cats cannot be controlled by you.
As a Person With Dog, I aptly can draw upon another old saw about the uniqueness of Feline-affected Life:

Dogs have Masters; Cats have Staff
