I know I know. I usually don't do cat posts but there are cat people that come here so I thought I'd make an exception for my friends. Plus I don't have to type much. I've got a link to an article.
Who knew there was science behind cats?! I didn't even think psychology could figure them out. And a purrfect day for cats. Friday the 13th. Remember, when Friday the 13th falls on Tuesdays you have to be extra vigilant.

There are cat people EVERYWHERE.
Mind you, I don't think that article delved very far into the psychology of the beautiful, frustrating breed.
What beautiful blue eyes!
EC - Only a cat person would know.
DSWS - They are really blue blue aren't they?
Loony John - Allen doesn't like you using his name. I might have left 'one' of your comments under the Loony John moniker.
The word you are looking for, Mike, is Paraskevidekatriaphobia, from the Greek words Paraskeví (meaning "Friday"), and dekatreís (meaning "thirteen"), is the phobia (meaning "fear") of Friday the 13th. Especially on tuesdays ;-)
OPS - I always thought it was triskaidekaphobia. But that's just the fear of the 'number' 13. Paraskevidekatriaphobia, you learn something new every day.
Definitely, not a cat person but there are plenty that enjoy them so I am glad cats make them happy.
MS - Me too.
FWIW, Paraskevidekatriaphobia has a KAT in the middle, so yes, I was on topic ;-)
OPS -
