Famous Cats

Famous Cats is about all kinds of things relating to cats. Why do I care about cats. I'm an old lady living on social security whose son thought maybe I should try and be creative on the internet. I dont know anything about the internet and can barely turn on the computer so this seems silly but it is interesting having something on the internet. I don't know what else to write about. Maybe I'll talk about famous cats like Morris from the old Nine Lives commercials or Garfield or Heathcliffe both funny cartoon cats.

I'd also like to talk about famous Cat Movies. Like Garfield again or Cats Paw and all the great songs that mention cats and other things.

Here's a picture of my cat Tootsie

She's not a famous catbut I love her anyway.
