Week #7

I am slightly disturbed by the Catster and the Dogster type websites. I have a Myspace account, but I dont really see the point in making a social networking page for your pet. Truly, it is not for the pet, but for the owner.

It's even creepier when the bios and profile is written in the first person, as if the pet is speaking. Is that a form os schitzophrenia? Can you take doggie prozac for that? I always say 'to each their own" but in this case I find it a little wacky.

I have a cat named Houdini. I have posted his picture on my blog. He brings me much joy. However, instead of making a web page for him to meet other cats (??????) I would rather just read a book with him purring in my lap.
