Life and April books

[eviltammy]

Life? Is still in a holding pattern. Nothing too bad, but nothing great either. No court cases called up, no disability case approved. Cousin has only pestered me through the phone line occasionally :) Her cat pesters me enough in person/feline(?). Status quo isn't too bad :)

Well, the week offline was a pain, but it just meant I got more books read :>

That darn cat

[yarrow-blue.livejournal.com]

Are you thinking of trying to find out if you can get him neutered through some assistance program? That might help. Are there any rescue groups in your area? They usually foster in someone's home, and your cousin would have to go through some sort of process/evaluation to get him back, though at this point, I wonder if she really wants him. ::sigh:: Anyway, I really think the cat deserves better than her, and since he's not getting along with you....

He's fine :) I was just being snarky. He's a very friendly guy. He's laying against my chest right now, purring away.

And, ha! I changed gowns so now he can't put his furry head and paw down my cleavage! He's a tit cat :)

I'm still trying not to get too attached. Though I think cousin might have the *real* problem when she takes him next month. Because he's really settled in here :)

Awwww. So kewt with the one testicle. [eg]

ROTFL! Maybe he's just trying to get warm. [giggles more]

Well, if it wasn't for your girls, I'd say, get him altered (with a discount if you can), pay for his licencing fee (if they do that there; they don't where I am now) and shots, and keep him. But make sure to ask about that missing pom-pom. That's if you were keeping him. [very innocent look]

Oh - and she's still living in someone's trailer - and that woman doesn't like cats. But she's supposed to get a place next month. And I'm going to tell her she has to get the spaying done this month.

I wouldn't believe *anything* that woman says with what you've told me about her. And spaying is for girl cats, btw. [g] Use the term alter(ed) if you're not sure which to use; you're covered either way.
