Noodles does not count. He may be cute, but he is no cat.

I do have my own! She is large, black, and in charge.

Much like Oprah.

The origins of Mormonism are awesome. I did a whole big research thesis about early Mormon polygamy, and I argued that the policy succeeded because, during the Nauvoo and Westward expansion/early Valley years, the principle of plural wives helped integrate and bind the community, etc. blahblah.

To this day I keep desperately hoping some Mormon missionaries will come to my door. I will invite them in and serve them tea and listen to them with utter fascination.

Also I like Mormon heaven, as I've heard it explained. There are three tiers, the top tier being close to God and like a way cool awesome party, the middle tier being like the foyer of the cool party, and the lower tier being like you sitting at home bored and not even knowing there's a cool party going on. This is where non-Mormons go. All Mormons get admittance to the middle tier at least. Really special Mormons, like church elders and stuff, get to go directly to the top tier. In the middle tier you just kind of wait around for your turn to get into the cool party -- kind of like Purgatory, except a lot better. And you can get prayed up a tier, so like if your Grandma dies you can go pray for her and get her bumped up into the cool party. And non-Mormons can get prayed for and bumped up , too, so like if your great-Grandma was a non-believer that's okay.

Although they have a wicked awful stance against homosexuality -- like truly horrendous, Prop 8 and teen suicides and all, and their rep with minorities and women isn't great either. And they have too many kids.

But they get magic underwear, so that's fun.
