A few days ago, just for fun, I decided to search for “kitten” at Wikipedia (Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia that anyone can edit). Here is their entry for ‘kitten’. Totally adorable. What I love the most, though, is the subsection entitled “Perceptions of Cuteness.”

Entries as yet unwritten are marked in red. So I spent some of Saturday morning writing a needed entry on the Blue Bayou restaurant at Disneyland!
