Not Allowed To Mention Cats
I was just musing having read Pat talking about official company blogging, and not being allowed to mention cats and the like. I thought this was a particularly cute and strange form of repression. I can’t help wondering how my life would be if I was allowed to write about any topic my heart desired, except for cats. The conclusion I’ve come to is that each day I’d just be itching to mention it, burning to express catty knowledge.
If this rings true, just bear in mind that the people have the power. If you’ve living in this kind of rigid structure, I urge you to write about cats. Just once. You can all do it in tandem. Arrange a cat post uprising. Damn the man.
I hate Cats so it was me who chose to summarise the rule to keep personal stuff on your personal blog my saying “No Cats”.

I apologise in that case – it seems like I’m encouraging an uprising against you which, although fun, might make you angry. But then again it’s quite enjoyable when you get angry.

I think people should only be banned from posting about cats if they’re the Guardian reading, ethnic skirt wearing, lentil eating type.
Do you think Pat’s included in that group?

I have a cat called Pomme. That’s what comes of allowing a 2 year old to name your cat.

At least you don’t have a 2 year old called Pomme.
