Obligatory -

In the spirit of Christmas, let's unwrap a little present...another blog post.
Now that the present is open, I will defer away from the Christmas spirit and season and gravitate towards the ever-interesting topic of cats. Please don't 'X' out of this page.

I feel like it is important to address the cat topic because my name/nickname is Kat. I definitely can identify with the feline species. Sometimes my friends call me kitty or kitten. I most often land on my feet when I fall from a high place. I like to snuggle at the most inconvenient times. And I have nine lives.

I am all in support of cats, but I am not in support of allowing my friends to become cat ladies or cat dudes. It is NOT okay to own a feline if you are single and living alone in your home. If you have a significant other or roommates, then by all means invest in a kitten. But sell that kitty once your boyfriend dumps you.

However, I don't want to take your animal dreams away from you without offering a good alternative.
If you are ABSOLUTELY set on owning a cat while single then I would suggest just getting a Furbie. You probably have an annoying personality anyway so a Furbie would fit you well.
What I would substitute a cat with would be a cute puppy or a bunny or ferret. All choices are acceptable.

The goal is to avoid living with one cat because it will inevitably multiply and then you have 14 cats and you always smell like tuna and Fancy Feast becomes more important than buying wine for yourself.

Just be careful single gals and dudes. The situation could get hairy pretty quickly.

Peace, Love, and Furballs - Kat

Break it down now...

I mainly like to blog about random things that are around me (hair on ground, kid picking nose, boy meets world), but in this one I am writing about myself. I think I want to do this sort of as an explanation or just fun fact type thing.

So I live in New York City but I'm from Louisiana. Some people may think I moved here because it's a cool city and I'm trying to live the life of a gossip girl. Some people may think I moved here to become famous. Some people think I moved here solely to dye my hair and start a blog. You are all correct. 

Actually no. So let me tell you a little bit about myself.

I aspire to be a performer on Broadway. That is my main goal. I would also LOVE to be a backup dancer or even try to find my way onto the path of Saturday Night Live. But like I said, Broadway is my focus for now. To most of the world, performers on Broadway aren't famous or super rich. That is 100 percent, absolutely okay with me. I didn't choose to be a performer because of fame, but because of my honest passion for performing. Most likely I will work as a member of the ensemble (or backup) in musicals. I may not hit the jackpot doing that, but as long as I'm performing then I'm slap-happy.

Last night I had a dream that I was cast in my first Broadway show. I can remember being so elated. Then I woke up and felt totally crushed because it was just a dream. But that moment of elation (in the dream) has not left me. And it's fueling me to drive faster. It's fueling me to work harder. It's fueling me to strive for greater achievements. I absolutely will face challenges, but they won't keep me from pursuing my dream.

I saw a play over the weekend and this line was said a few times throughout the show - "To have faith is to have wings." I have faith that I can achieve my goals, and I'm ready to soar.

Obviously not everyone in this world aspires to be an actor. But I'm willing to bet everyone aspires to be SOMETHING or SOMEONE. I beg everyone reading this to never let that spark of energy in themselves fall flat. Please never allow yourself to be hitting your mid-life crisis and realizing you have major regrets. I sure as hell will not have regrets about following my passion. 

Soar, friends. Soar.

Peace, Love, and Wow This Was A Lame Post - Kat
