Drama Queen

We all know that cats are drama queens. My calico takes the cake. This morning, she was plinking her way down the stairs, which are covered with berber carpet, when hark! she caught a claw on the fourth stair from the bottom. And because she was trotting down for breakfast, said caught claw caused an end-over-end tumble. She landed on the bottom step on her bottom. Immediately, she did the most cat thing possible -- she sat and licked a paw. She meant to trip and fall. No harm to the cat other than to her pride.

To that end, a friend sent along a joke. Normally, I wouldn't publish jokes here, but this one fits perfectly. This represents just how far we've come in the economic downturn. This would be my cat if she lived life on the street. And yes, stretched out, she looks just like this one.
