Day 131: Special Delivery
12 May
Sophie (Jack and Sally’s mom) had a litter back in March and they’ve been living in the basement at my parents’ house. My dad can only handle so many animals in the house at one time, and four kittens on top of two cats and three dogs is four kittens too many. (Maybe they will finally get Sophie spayed now. Although, if I were a betting man, I’d bet that he will be completely attached to the kittens before it’s said and done. And I would also bet that Sophie is probably already pregnant again. Kitty abortion time! Bob Barker would be okay with that, and Bob Barker should be everyone’s moral compass.) So I put out the call and have gotten bites on three of the four. The silver tabby was the first to go, and Jen has got her hands full, I think.
I’m curious to see if this cat will be like the others from its blood line and be completely unwilling to drink out of a water bowl and demand the running tap.
As long as it doesn’t demand ice cubes, like one of mine does.
So far I think Trish is intent on keeping the “most demanding animal in the house” title. She’s leveraged the presence of the new kitty into canned food, treats, water from the tap and unlimited brushings. I’m a prisoner in my own home.
a. I see where Miss Sally gets her good looks.
b. You are a most excellent person for finding kitteh homes, Miss L.
c. Miss L’s Daddy, sir, please get Miss Sophie and the other unfixed pets fixed. Please. It will save you buttloads of money and worry, sir. Really.

I want to laugh because you’re kidding but instead I will laugh because I think you’re serious.
@jen
Trish is so cunning. I love it!

I have begged and pleaded with my parents to get Sophie fixed but it seems like every time they’re ready to, she’s got a belly full of kittens. If she gets pregnant one more time, I’m going to take it upon myself to get her fixed. I’ll have to use stealth tactics. But it’ll be worth it.
