An Open Book - So, why the cat?

So, why the cat?

So you all may be wondering why I have(or will have) a cat under an umbrella as my icon. Katy and Pheonix probably know...
Seriously, I have not been able to find any good icons for me, oh well. It is just a placeholder until I find something better.
But, it does has some history to it!
The icon is from the 1997 film "Cats Dont Dance". Such a great film! It is an animated musical set in 1939, choreographed (yes, I am serious) by Gene Kelly, featuring vocals from Natalie Cole (daughter of Nat King Cole) and a 60 million dollar budget! Singular, to say the least.
As weird as it sounds, it is a great little movie. It even has cameos of Cary Grant, Mae West, Bette Davis, Clark Gable, and more popular stars of that time. It is also sports a clever dialogue and story:)
I grew up with this movie (can you not tell!?)

Anyhoo, that is why my icon is of a cat.

I can believe it. It is quite interesting to hear that the man that wrote and sang the song "Singing In the Rain" choreographed the movie. I have seen it and yes it was a cute one at best. Take care and God bless,

Are you sure it's not because you look like the cat?

ah yes, we should probably watch that. After hearing your siblings sing on Sunday, I have been overcome with an irresistable urge to watch it.
