Lucky Cat

( a B
3 hidden track )
I went to a Chinese restaurant with my mom. They had one of those waving cat figurines there. I told her that I had seen them before, and was wondering what they were all about. She suggests that I ask one of the people who work in the restaurant.
I think about it and say, "nah."
"Why not?" she asks.
I say, "They'll just tell me it has something to do with luck. All popular Asian symbols have something to do with luck, or so it seems."
So she decides to ask herself. On the way out, she asks the middle-aged Asian man behind the cash register, "What is the significance of the waving cat?"
He says, "It's for good luck. It's a lucky cat."
I told her, but did she listen?! No!
Speaking of cats, one of our cats, who goes by the name Muffin, God bless her walnut-sized brain, has gotten in the habit of climbing into the kitty litter tray and taking a dump over the side and right onto the god damn floor.
She must be an unlucky cat. If she starts waving at me while taking a crap on the floor, I am going to need a little ride in the looney van.
