More references to Cats the musical… “The naming of cats.”

Yes, I was a scary Sailor Moon fan. I probably scared off a lot of possible friends with my obsession. But she helped get me into making my own comics, not just inking other peoples’.

    Same here, I was totally obsessed… and I’m not completely over it yet. I purchased a blue pair of boots just like Amy’s and I love winter because I get to use them Once, when I was twelve, I bought little moon stickers and every day I used to put one over my cat forehead… he use to take it out in a sec off course!
