I need help. During one of the few periods of time during my day when I have free time I was sucked into watching the following video clip (from 2005). I have absolutely no idea why I find it so amusing but the song has been stuck in my head for most of the past two days:

I’m a Kitty Cat

For an animal lover the internet is both a wonderful thing as well as, let’s be honest here, both a great source of entertainment and a time suck. At one point I’ll be researching dog breeds, training and feeding tips, the winner of the Westminster Dog Show. It is amazing that I could find remedies for getting the stink of a skunk off my dogs (all solutions aren’t perfect!) and removing the smell of cat urine from a leather couch (don’t ask) and then…I get lost in Facebook, poking and prodding people, accepting gifts and telling them random bits of information about myself.

Then I get caught up in reading the news. News is EVERYWHERE. I could easily spend over 3 hours catching up on all the local, national and world news, entertainment, human interest, WTF, pet industry news. By the time I feel that I would be done catching up there would be even MORE news. It is a never ending cycle!

Then there are the web comics. I’ll admit that I’ll read some of the mainstream web comics. There are times, though, that I’ll catch up on others. Some are web only, others I sometimes don’t even understand. But they’re there and I MUST READ THEM!!

Finally, I get drawn into the videos. Holy cow.  Aside from the videos of Japanese game shows, people doing stupid things, amazing science experiments I wind up right back to what I know best – animals. I keep falling in love over and over again with videos of kittens and puppies, birds and fish, turtles and…well, pretty much everything!

The internet is both my friend and my weakness. Then again, who wouldn’t feel weak in the knees and fall in love with little puppy howling with his owner?
