My Life in a Cat House
Saturday, May 1st, 2010
Hi. My name is Jim Colet. I’ve had the good fortune of having many cats accompany me through my walk of life. Because of them, many unique experiences happened to me that would not have otherwise. I’ve had dogs too, but this book isn’t about dogs. Maybe the next will be.
My feline friends not only kept me company, but they taught me some very invaluable philosophical lessons. The first lesson is to take the good with the bad. Not everything in life is fun and nitrous oxide. I’ve learned to laugh when I can and cry where appropriate.
The second lesson is to enjoy and have as much fun with life as possible. Cats are a purrfect example of this. They can amuse themselves with almost anything. The whole world can be their playground; from a tiny broken fragment of some unidentifiable object batted around like a super-agile hockey player to Hulka-mania wrestling with the hallway throw rug. And of course there’s the toilet paper attack that I’m sure most cat lovers have witnessed personally.
In that vein, I have tried to take mundane situations or potentially threatening ones and turn them around to sources of comedy and entertainment. My book is guaranteed to elicit many chuckles and giggles from you and possibly a few bold belly laughs. And of course you may shed a tear here and there, remembering the lesson to take the good with the bad. I never thought I would become a comedy writer but I guess that’s what my cats have been training me to be.
I’ve had compliments about my book like, “I just loved it”, “awesome”, “it left me wanting more”. One lady said she read a particular chapter to her husband and he about choked with laughter. (Therefore, please consult your physician before reading my book. Ask him if My Life in a Cat House is right for you.). I won’t tell you which chapter that was. I’ll let you discover it for yourself.
After writing my book, I felt tuned into cats enough to conjecture what life must look like through their eyes. In this site I attempt to turn everyday occurrences into ones of hilarity and entertainment. So in that endeavor, I turn the website controls over to my beloved cat, BeeBop. He will entertain you with his observations in life at “BeeBop’s Blogs”.
