Not Making This Up

Italian newspapers are reporting that Pope Benedict XVI has been regularly sneaking out of the Vatican and returning to his old digs where he lived as a cardinal. For those whose Italian is rusty, here's an English newspaper report on the odd phenomenon. The favored theory in Rome is that the Holy Father is visiting his cats, which he was not allowed to take with him to the papal apartments; Cdl. Ratzinger's devotion to his felines was much discussed at the time of his election.

I would love it if this is true. To think of the Pope loving cats that much would have to elevate their position in the world. To me, cats get the bad wrap way too often. I can't wait to tell my Cat-loving daughter about this! Thanks!
