I mean, cats and Cumberbatch!

I adore owls!  Have done since I was a kid.

That's why I have a top-hat-wearing, be-monocoled owl carrying books tattooed on my right arm!

I call him Mr. Owl.

Brandon, the tattoo artist, did a fabulous job here.

And a few owls with cats found-on-social-media images to your entertainment for today's 'holiday':

*Famous line (of many) from the film Office Space, 1999.

If you haven't seen it yet, it's a terrifically spot on take of working in a cube farm for ridiculous bosses.
