When I was, oh, quite young, the family cat we had at the time used to like sleeping amongst my mother’s clothes and whatnot. One time, upon finding him I thought it amusing to put one of my mother’s hairpieces on his head, making for a sight that left me laughing uncontrollably. That memory came rushing back to me as I discovered my childhood amusement had been turned into a business. Yes, that’s right, I present to you, Kittywigs and their accompanying Flikr Gallery.

I miss having a cat. I’m not a dog person really. It doesn’t bother me what weirdness people bring upon their pets as long as it’s done with Love and doesn’t harm them. Possibly the greatest example I’ve ever seen for the love of animals is that shown by the Supreme Master Ching Hai in her book The Dogs in My Life. Pained to see the suffering of any animals at all, she rescued a number of dogs from being put down at shelters and has been looking after them since. As well as starting the Alternative Living project (see The Top Ten Reasons To be Vegetarian top left) she herself created this books to show the world how wonderful and full of Love animals are and how they deserve to be treated with as much Love as we are capable.
