considering a cat

Everyone has a cat! >=(

I have two! You should get one or more.

still waiting for harbl cat photos btw

I can't! For lotsa reasons. But mostly because I am allergic and I do not know how long I will be staying in this house/city/country.

I really want a cat friend though

xp

I have seen a pic of harbl cat

i can't have a cat because of allergies either, it's sad, any cat of mine would be on a good wicket.

i want to see harbl's cat.

I was at the official premiere, it was BLACK TIE (*wink wink*)

two pet names I have encountered in the last week that I liked v much

mark fluffalo

i like the idea of people names for cats if only b/c i find this conversation forever funny:

person a: hey, evan, i'd like to introduce you to linda.
evan: nice to meet you, linda - that's my cat's name!

haha i like that, kind of like how the schef's cat is stephen meowlkmus

xp about mark fluffalo

there should be more naming cats punnily after human babes

gazelle bundchen

if u had a pet gazelle, i guess

Where is harbls cat???

maybe I do ;)

this is the only picture i've been able to get of her (need to recharge camera battery and keep forgetting). that's an old school book i meant to recycle a while ago underneath.

i took it because i love when cats sleep like that

call her black&whiteacre

aw!!

she is on the small side and has big eyes like arby's gf's cat

aw she is v v cute! :D

Aw! I know a cat with similar looks named romeo. Maybe she is juliet?

Hydrox

she looks like a map of catatonia.

& she is gorgeous, i also love it when cats sleep like that.

i had a cat once but it ended v. badly

so guys apparently a kitten arrived at my house last night

What, like, mysteriously??

it is a sign.

my friends found it in an alley, and they walked over with it in a backpack. we went to the bar, so we left the kitten here. i came home and played with it, and worried about its poopings and the whereabouts thereof.

this morning it capered, and i glared sternly, because i am hungover. it scratched at the door (srsly!) and i thought "i'll go get a box" and when i came back it had pooped right on the floor. i told the cat it was v stupid, and it chewed a cable, so i yelled at it again.

m and z called it d'artagnan, but that is far too aspirational a name for an alleycat, so now it's named pizza

btw i think if i was adopting a pet i would only want an old depressed animal w/ social problems.

i mean all this capering

it has been cleaning itself for a solid ten minutes

you might be tempted to say "but that's what cats do!" except that this cat is the size of a potato, and could be cleaned entirely with a swift wipe of a dishrag

oh man the capering is the worst

i have things to do! you can't just ~run around~

like srsly the cat (pizza) has already climbed into a shoe, pooped (not in the shoe), investigated some old rope, and crawled under a desk. it is exhausting.

Re nomenclature: my brother has decided to pursue naming all his pets after "things you can put things in". His cat's name: Bucket. His (recently adopted) baby squirrel's name: Pocket.

it isn't even that good at walking, yet it does it like it owns the g-d place

pizza is a great name!

i think cats are only good when they realise they are full of resentment

when i came back it had pooped right on the floor. i told the cat it was v stupid, and it chewed a cable, so i yelled at it again.

You can't leave a kitten without a place to poop all night and then yell at it when it poops on the floor! Also, you should be more worried about where Pizza peed in the interim, as that is going to happen more often and fester and also mark places where s/he'll think it's totes cool to pee again.

I agree that the capering is totally exhausting, though. Wait until the little fucker gets a bit bigger and does shit like climb up your bare legs or try to jump into your lap, claws outstretched, and miss, and dig its little claws into your leg in a panicked attempt not to fall on its ass.

just wait

I am covered in little scratches from the kitten constantly attacking me, jumping on or off me, trying to climb up my leg, etc...

dig its little claws into your leg junk

That has never happened to me, although my fatass tabby fell off the bed the other day and in an attempt at self rescue, dug eight of her front claws into my soft, delicate side fat and hung there for a minute, which was pretty awful.

More like a second than a minute, but still.
