I used to be an animal lover

I like turtles. Or I did until I visited the Reptile Zoo in Monroe. They have a soft shell turtle there, and it's HIDEOUS! It swims in its tank, eye level with you, and stares at you with it's grotesque, blank eyes. I've never felt the same way about turtles since.

This isn't the turtle at the zoo, but you get the idea

I like cats. Or at least I thought I did until this nightmare-inducing cat came into my awareness today:

I'll try not to dream about this two-faced freak of nature cat crawling up the side of my bed tonight, but it won't be easy.
