It's all because I suck and I really hate cats.<br /><br />So I started telling people, "Our appartment has a no pet policy." Which is totally true. Now we are buying a house.

I assume it was her size at the time (the bed is a good three feet off of the ground at the top). My husband laughed, picked her up, kissed her on the head and told her she was too damn cute.<br /><br />Not that it wasn't funny, but it's less so when it's your own foot.<br /><br />Asking if you're sorry you got the cat is like people asking if you're sorry you had kids after they've thrown up on the rug, and are looking tiny and fragile. You're only sorry you couldn't fix it.<br /><br />Cats don't poop on furniture for no reason. Dirty box, something stirring up their routine, or health problems. If you rule out the first two, it's time to go to the vet. <br /><br />My boy kitty was peeing in the boy's room recently. I took him to the vet (because cats don't urinate in front of people, they like their privacy), and it turned out he was really trying to take a shit because he had a pound of crap backed up in his tiny kitty colon. It was nearly the size of a breakfast banger.Prisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16121457750712212772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2455477065088022337.post-12632471213048809632009-06-19T15:57:26.016-04:002009-06-19T15:57:26.016-04:00I needed the smile, thanksI needed the smile, thanksMaggie Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14699674732274478502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2455477065088022337.post-1775002812557812202009-06-19T15:31:34.240-04:002009-06-19T15:31:34.240-04:00You arent in my reader.
