spatch | well it's official

I made a deal with myself yesterday. It is a just deal and a fair deal.

If I finish off my room, and keep it and the surroundings in a good and clean condition, then I can look for a kitten.

But not before! People need to stop sending Abbie offers of new best friends.

Apropos of nothing: Oh, Thomas Kinkade, what won't you whore out?

Whenever you are really ready, there WILL be a kitten. There are way too many kittens. I'm just glad I went to a no-kill shelter for Lotus, because I fell in love with at least four others, and the only thing that kept my brain from exploding when I had to walk away from them was knowing that they were going to be okay. :(

That said, I look forward to hearing Abbie's kitten stories. Oh my yes. Because kittens are BATSHIT LOONEY.

I can understand how hard it is to walk away from other kittens. It'll be hard enough picking one out of a group. Hopefully though the kitten will actually just pick me.

I'm amused at Craigslist postings, though. Everybody's kitten is "looking for a new home" (oh really? Is the kitten the one placing the ad?) and every kitten is SWEET and CUTE. Just once I want to see something like "FREE KITTEN, UGLY, BADASS, VOMITS A LOT AND RESISTS CHANGE."

Yeah, Lotus totally picked me. I really didn't want an orange and white cat -- he looks almost EXACTLY like Yoda, and I thought that would make me too sad. Obviously, I was wrong. He couldn't have made himself any more clear about wanting to come home with me unless he had, I dunno, started a blog or something.

There is no such thing as a free kitten. ;)
