Sharing? You mean file-sharing, intellectual property theft, SOPA, CISPA? Or sharing the burden of austerity? Sharing the losses of banks and corporations, who are too big to fail? Sorry about the confusion, but this is normally not a word in the vocabulary of free market economics, consumerism, and globalization.

Here as an antidote the usual pictures from the cat family. There’s a lighter and brighter side of life? Scary!

Wendy fits even into the biggest chairs. She easily makes up in personality, what she lacks in size.

Gandhi explores the home library. If he would be a longhair ginger cat, he could become famous as Dewey Readmore Books’ incarnation.

Always take care, that the kitchen furniture fits to the cat.

Seems to be a dead end. Never mind — the journey is the destination.
