Stop fighting fate.

In life, I guess it's important to refine your goals as you get older.

Elementary School Goal: Become a great actress. Or a cartoonist.

Middle School Goal: Become the first woman president and marry David Johnson. (Cute guy. Totally uninterested.)

High School Goal: Become a great writer.

College Goal: Become a brilliant professor. Get married, have children.

Grad School Goal: Ummm... not die?

Post-Grad School Goal: Get a master's of library science. Get married, have children.

New Goal: Have twenty cats.

No, really, I'm serious. I love kitties, and I think a house full of kitties will make me happy. Screw all that other stuff. I want kitties.

And getting to the twenty cats will give me goals. Like, if I want to have twenty cats I'm going to have to have money. Y'know, for vet bills and cat food and kitty treats. And a nice big house, because they're going to be indoor kitties. Yeah. I'll need a better job.

I have friends who named their cats Cat, Cat Too (or Two, I'm not sure which), called Tooie, and Tertius ('cause they were getting pretentious, I guess). I can't wait to see what they do with their next cat.

They follow patterns with dogs, too. Their first dog was named Smeagol. She came to an untimely end and her successor is named Deagol.

Oh, and David Johnson was my band teacher when I was in high school.

It's funny how many of my goals have solidified and come true in the past 5-6 years since I've known my wife. Got married, will have kids in the next couple of years, got a job in a library, ALMOST have my master's degree in library science (one more week!), got a couple of kitties...

I did have to give up a few goals along the way, like becoming a writer (but I can always do that in my free time once I'm out of school!).

I couldn't possibly name your kitties, for like all pets, they name themselves. ^_^

Okay, your goal is to become the cat lady?

You do know that cats do not naturally hang out in groups of twenty? They don't really like it. About 5 or so is your upper limit. And we're talking big big house.

You could just start helping down at your local animal shelter, that'd be like having twenty cats. Except, you'd have puppies too.

My cat has requested that I formally throw in "military monikers" as an option.

Her name is "Lieutenant". The one before that was "Captain".

You get the picture :)

You totally need to name a cat Siktir! It's "fuck" in Turkish.

I can't believe I didn't think of that until now.

If you want kitties, I can hook you up...At PetSmart we work with a couple adoption agencies that have great kitties. I adopted one a couple weeks ago, actually...

In the Kellinator's apartment, the cats are divided into two separate yet equally important groups... The cats who jump on tables and chairs and scare the guests, and the cats who run and hide on top of the cabinets at the slightest sound. These are their stories.
