Surfin' out of KAT's Meow

As a teenager I surfed Southern California's beaches. Now I enjoy a different kind of surfing; web.

When you click one of these links you'll be leaving KAT's Meow. Come back and visit soon. I don't control the content or availability of these sites, but on my last visits I found each to be the purrfectly delightful.

Take my advice and put that prayer wheel all over your site... each time it spins it sends forth a prayer for all sentient beings, and I have a feeling you could use the good karma.

    The easiest, fastest and cheapest ($15/year instead of the usual $35) way I found to get a true functioning domain name. They can also forward from it to your actual URL or give you a free site if you don't mind some advertising on it. You can also transfer your $35/year domain name(s) to them so they renew at $15/year.
