Mini Chen: how come you like cats so much btw?
Preston Chang: i don't know how to describe it.. i was trying to think about this yesterday
Preston Chang: as i saw cats
Preston Chang: cats just chill out
Preston Chang: and sleep and groom and lounge
Preston Chang: like, by tourist places
Preston Chang: SUPER CUTE
Preston Chang: i petted them :3
Preston Chang: i love the way their bodies are shaped
Preston Chang: it's like, cute and majestic and pretty
Preston Chang: the legs and feet and tails
Preston Chang: the tails are really elegant
Preston Chang: their mannerisms are cute, too
Preston Chang: the way they posture themselves for anything
Preston Chang: laying down, sleeping, tumbling
Preston Chang: they walk really smoothly
Preston Chang: i love that they're so well-balanced and coordinated
Preston Chang: jump crazy high
Preston Chang: it's like they're always stalking
Preston Chang: and if you've ever looked closely at a cat when it's standing still
Preston Chang: and it hears a noise far away
Preston Chang: sometimes just one of its ears rotates
Preston Chang: like it turns a few degrees
Preston Chang: outwards
Preston Chang: and it's SUPER cute
Preston Chang: and when their eyes close they look like they're smiling
Preston Chang: like when you put them on the head and their eyes close
Preston Chang: and the way they SWIPE at things is SO cute
Preston Chang: like strings or other dangly things
Preston Chang: or the way they use their paws to try and cover bugs on the ground
Preston Chang: they track with this cunning precision
Preston Chang: like their eyes are cameras scanning the environment and their brains are computers calculating jump distances and trajectories
Preston Chang: and then when they sleep it's just like super cute
Preston Chang: yesterday i pet this cat that was sleeping
Preston Chang: and it just didn't wake up, even when i poked it and pressed on its head multiple times
Preston Chang: and i love that
Preston Chang: that cats are always so engaged in whatever they're doin
Preston Chang: and yesterday we saw a cat that was grooming itself
Preston Chang: and the whole time i was watching it and talking to it and petting it, it just kept grooming itself
Preston Chang: like it didn't care at all that it was the center of attention of everyone walking down that street
Preston Chang: i like that cats have a mind of their own
Preston Chang: dogs are fun and stuff, and i like that they're SO attention-giving
Preston Chang: but they're kinda predictable
Preston Chang: throw a ball, it'll fetch it
Preston Chang: pat your thigh, it'll jump up
Preston Chang: rub its tummy, it'll roll over
Preston Chang: talk to it, it'll look back at you
Preston Chang: but CATS ...
Preston Chang: basically, do anything, and you'll have no idea what it'll do in response
Preston Chang: other than a few things
Preston Chang: like if you pet its head, it'll close its eyes
Preston Chang: and if you touch its tummy, it'll probably scratch you with its hind legs
Preston Chang: and i like how they slink around
Preston Chang: super stealthily
Preston Chang: like you're chilling on the couch
Preston Chang: and all of a sudden the cat is behind your head like
Preston Chang: HEYA
Preston Chang: but not really 'cause it doesn't care to interact with you
Preston Chang: their tails also have like a mind of their own
Preston Chang: the way they absentmindedly curl around
Preston Chang: and wiggle
Preston Chang: very elegantly
Preston Chang: it kind of reflects what the cat is thinking
Preston Chang: its curiosity in something
Preston Chang: and i like how cats are so CURIOUS
Preston Chang: they love watching things
Preston Chang: and looking at the outdoors
Preston Chang: and chasing little things on the gruond
Preston Chang: i like how they look when they're sitting up
Preston Chang: the front paws are always together
Preston Chang: it's very regal
Mini Chen:LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Mini Chen: OMGSH PRESTON
Mini Chen: YOU DESERVE A CAT

Mini Chen: ever

Preston Chang: HAHAHAHHA
Mini Chen: i don't deserve him
Mini Chen: as much as you do
Mini Chen: LOL
Mini Chen: dude you could write a book after a cat
Preston Chang: no one's actually ever asked me before why i like cats
Mini Chen: that sounded like a love note
Mini Chen: to cat
Preston Chang: thanks for helping me let all that out
Mini Chen: no problem
