I don't know much about spirits, or Buddism, or things in Japan, but I do know Stinky the Cat always talks about being a super HERO while she's still alive.

This year she wanted to be Cat Man for Halloween. But I told her, "your a girl cat". Then suggested she could be Woman Cat, a nifty knock-off/bi-specie euphemism of sorts for Cat Woman. I thought this was incredibly creative.

She just looked at me with total disdain, as if to say this was dumb, and gender-based sexism, and also dumb once again.

This made me feel bad. So next year, she is going to go out on the 31st as Cat Man. Anyone know where I can get a used, full-sized Barbie Car to chop into a cool Bat mobile?
