Is it because they like to play with yarn?

So lately I've been reading many knitting blogs. One blog I started reading for other reasons is part of a knitting blog ring and, purely coincidentally, as I started reading these "outside" (non-knitting) blogs more, I also rediscovered my love of knitting (I was still knitting but somehow my excitement over it returned at that point), so I started following the knitting blog ring and reading some of the blogs.

I've noticed something in reading these blogs. It seems that, to have a knitting blog, one must also have both a cat and an obsession with discussing the minutaie of one's cat's life. Also a digital camera to post endless pictures of one's cat.

Aside from the fact that I don't really intend this to be a knitting blog (though I don't at all promise not to share some stuff with you - especially the OMG SO CUTE outfit I'm knitting for my boss's baby-to-be - OMG it's SO cute!), I realize I *can't* make it a knitting blog. Because I don't have a cat. Or the desire to post endless pictures of cats.

Truth be told, I don't really understand the strong correlation. Why is no one posting pictures of their gerbils?

OMG if you had a cat you would understand. I think you should get one in the same of scientific inquiry.

(plus something tells me that combining knitting with cats is guaranteed hilarity everyday of your life :p I can't even pack my knitted shrug tops with drawstrings without Magic trying to, um, "help" me)

Well, I think you should break the mold and start talking about and taking pictures of your "dog". (Or did you kill him already?)
