Herding Cats

My neighbor has a cat farm.  Perhaps cat ranch would be more accurate.  So far, I've seen three separate litters of kittens and at least four adult cats living in their garage.  I've tried multiple times to get close to them without success.  Even attempting to take photos sends them scurrying.

Life is a little bit like herding cats. 

I've found that sometimes the things that I'm earnestly chasing after slip through my fingers, one by one.  Going after too many things at once often yields nothing, and working toward a goal by myself, without seeking help, is frequently fruitless.

However, sometimes, when I least expect it, something warm and fuzzy jumps into my lap on its own.  It may not be exactly what I was looking for, but it fits perfectly.
