Free to good any home: Three moon-drunk felines weighing a total of thirty pounds. Can be separated, but extra vocalizations ensue when two youngest are apart. Special skills/talents: pitiful looks, persistence, precociousness, curiosity, ability to jump long distances, enthusiasm, admirable dedication to chasing computer cursors and wrestling each other. Disadvantages: same. If interested, please reply to keepmycats@takethemnow.net.
Background, in the name of disclosure: These cats are prone to the night-crazies, and have been known to keep household members awake long into the the early morning. Last night’s exhibitions were particularly severe, and have prompted this limited-time offer. For example: The Basil sat under the window and howled at the visible moon. He and Rosemary, both friendly sorts, set up a wrestling tournament on my prone body. Someone threw up. Someone ate it. Someone pooped on the master bathroom floor. Someone attempted to bury it with linoleum. Someone got locked out, and then pawed and meowed at the door until let back in. Someone sat on my head. Someone walked on it. Someone chewed the cat kibbles so loudly the breaking food echoed throughout the room.
And now three someones are in trouble.
This morning came way too early for forgiveness. If they let me sleep tonight, I might allow them to live. I may even keep them, in which case this offer is null and void. But I’m a little cranky, so you’re probably in luck. Anyone? Anyone???
we used to have cats all the time growing up. if you run across a kitten that STAYS a kitten, i’ll take it. i’ve found that the bigger and the older they get, the more lazy. 🙂
happy friday!
Ha! Hope they’re behaving themselves now. I’m allergic, too (much to my son’s dismay), but maybe they just need another creature to play with. You know, to keep ’em busy… We’ve got a guinea pig. Wanna borrow him and try it out? It could only help, right? 🙂
…and yet they’re still gorgeous:-) I used to have a cat named Rosemary and her brother’s name was Sage. I wrote about them on pearweed a few months back. Loved your read.
LOL… I’m a total cat person, SO I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT! They walk all over us, yet we love them anyway. My sister just adopted a new cat, and he has this habit of INCESSANTLY LICKING any part of bare skin he can find. So gross, but also mildly adorable.
My cat, Rachel, loves to stick her whiskers up my nose in way of saying GOOD MORNING! Most of the time I want to kill her, but then she starts purring and I melt. 🙂
You should probably keep them around, at least for a little while.
Awww, kitties!
Oh, I love those kitties! You have a whole pack there. Just wait until it’s really cold, then you’ll remember that you ADORE those sweet purring heating pads. : )
You’re out of luck with me, Caryn! My partner’s mom just got two! adorable kittens. We visited the new family members yesterday and when we came home our cat spent the evening lying on our coats, glaring at us. Reminding us that we hate cats!! (He’s not a cat, he’s a stomach with legs.)
Good luck with the zzzz’s. So cute. 🙂
