JANE FONDA YOGA CAT

I am about to catch a plane to San Jose to attend a Women in Technology International Conference, not sure if I'll be able to post anything until I return on Wednesday. I will leave you with some great images from corbis of Jane Fonda doing yoga poses/cuddling on the floor with her cat. This reminds me of what I used to do with my siamese cat when I was 9. I have recently found so many amazing famous cat lovers posing with their cats to share, I am thinking I will try to divide it up into decades or organize them in some weekly way. Or maybe all at once for the most catastic impact. They are so purrrrfect.
