Hi team! Sorry I was complaining yesterday. Wash the taste of my banal ennui and probably-too-soon 9/11 jokes out of your mouths with this amazing picture of today's Daily Kitten. See, if the heavens (or hells, whatever you believe) wanted 2011 to be terrible they wouldn't have allowed such an adorable kitten to exist. So let's get our global high five on!

First news tidbit of the year: I am super into cats now, ever since I took care of my friend's cat Isis (artist rendering below) who is now the only cat I ever want to own and I am seriously considering stealing (just kidding! ... probably).

This picture is of Isis' backside while she cuddled next to me on the bed one evening. Isis loves to cuddle. When it is cold outside, Isis will kiss your nose to get your attention, and then curl up against you under the covers. Isis is super fat and tries to take human food away from you while you are eating. She also gets super grumbly when you first come home if you've left her alone all day, but the minute you sit down she forgets to be mad and decides to snuggle with you instead. Isis is perfect.
