Of course, by this time the cats have figured out that I am up so it must be time to feed them so they run back and forth, up and down the hallway, I guess they were playing tag or something.

If ever wondered where all those gossip sites (The Superficial, Perez Hilton, Popoholic, etc.) get their scoops?
