Now that I have been reminded I shall tell you all about it.<\/p>\n<p>A few months ago Renton participated in the <a href=\"http:\/\/infinitecat.com\/\">Infinite Cat Project<\/a>. It&#8217;s a rather ingeniously kooky idea of a guy named Mike, who started with a picture of a cat, then took a picture of another cat looking at that cat picture, then took another picture of a cat looking at the picture of the cat looking at the first cat picture . . . well, you get the idea. Renton is cat number <a href=\"http:\/\/infinitecat.com\/infinite\/cat-html\/360.html\">360<\/a> in the project.<\/p>\n<p>It was not near as easy as I thought it would be to get Renton situated just so. Normally he is not allowed on the computer desk &#8212; though this has not stopped him before &#8212; so I think I confused him somewhat. Not only was I trying to make him stay on the desk, something he would never attempt while I was in the room, but I was also coaxing him to gaze at the suddenly uninteresting computer screen. This is the cat that is known to stare lazily at the television for hours!<\/p>\n<p>After 30 minutes I finally got the perfect photo; it only took about 40 pictures, a bit of creative mouse wriggling, and some spaghetti sauce to get the right shot. Renton always has a taste for Italian cuisine.<\/p>\n<p>This morning I received an e-mail announcing an<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cafepress.com\/infinitecat.14706790\"> Infinite Cat Project calendar<\/a> which will showcase a cat a day &#8212; the first 365 cats, to be exact. Renton just squeaked in there; he should be on December 26th. So . . . go buy one! And if helping animals is your thing, fear not; all the profits will be donated to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dognkittycity.com\/\">Dog and Kitty City<\/a>, a no-kill shelter in Texas.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget, every time you <s>masturbate<\/s> buy a calendar, God <s>kills<\/s> saves a kitten.  Please, think of the kittens.
