And I did enjoy quite a few days playing hooky during law school at Santa Anita park losing money on them.

I'm a sucker for cats. There are good ones and lousy ones, but a good cat is the perfect pet. Low maintenance, high affection, and you can lock them in the house for the weekend while you go on a trip without incurring 200 bucks in kennel costs.

The downside is you can't place bets on them at the racetrack. They're not good racers.
