No More Wars... Only Kittenwars

PetSugar — Tue, 23 Oct 2007 12:30:00 PDT

If the only wars were wars with kittens, the world would be a much softer place. But, don't be fooled, kittenwars can be just as lethal... on your free time. Here I am trying to work, and I keep getting sucked back in. (As soon as I finish posting, I'm going back for more fuzzy goodness.) Sometimes my battleplan is obvious and sometimes my strategy gets shifted, but I can always count on picking the cuter of two kitties to lighten up my day.

From the people who also bring us The Random Kitten Generator, The Daily Kitten, and Cat In Sinks, this brilliant website has expanded into postcards, calendars, and a book with other fun features like a "Kittenological Personality Test" and a "guide to getting maximum cuteness from your kitten." A shot of sweet straight to the heart – I've lost this fight.

Who tuned in for The Hills Season 3 premiere last night? While LC may need to control her opinions, she still looks fine. Take this gunmetal gray origami folded bodice dress and perfectly paired patent Mary Jane ensemble. Though the colors are cool, she still looks her prim and proper self. Opinions aside, this is one excellent look.
