This is the cat I want to kidnap.
I call her Stella. I'm not actually sure if she's a stray or if she belongs to the neighbors. But she likes to hang out with me whenever I'm in the yard.
Things to consider:
1. She could get hit by a car.
2. She has no collar, so she does not definitely belong to someone else, though she might.
3. If it is the neighbors' cat, they will worry about her when she disappears.
4. The neighbors' cat recently had kittens, and this cat seems so tiny to have just given birth.
5. I don't really have any experience with pregnant/postpartum cats, since I made Sally give up her uterus.
6. Also, the neighbors could have more than one cat.
7. Stella is super friendly and entertaining.
8. Sally will hate her.
9. But she's lived with another cat before, and she got used to him. Maybe even secretly liked him.
10. Stella's claw control is questionable.
11. I already have claw clippers.
12. If she doesn't have a home in the winter, she might freeze.
13. If I kidnap her, I will be one feline away from being a cat lady.
14. I'm only in my 20's, and it's not the middle ages, so I'm not a spinster.
15. I recognize that I should not have more than 2 cats.
16. I have human friends.
17. Given 14-16, really, how close am I to being a cat lady?
18. What if I'm just in denial?
A. you could go ask the neighbors if she's thiers?
ReplyDeleteB. you could put a collar on thats says "if I'm yours call and tell me future cat-napper to keep their paws off me"
C. what if her uncontrolled claws also happen to be nipple magnets? that could be bad news
D. maybe sally would be too preoccupied with her new friend to be the aforementioned nipple magnet she has been in the past
E. you won't be a cat lady until you refuse to go out with human friends because you have to feed the cats...
ps. anonymous = your fave roomie!
