This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

If I take mine to the vet one at a time, Oz will hiss at both me and Sylvester for a week after Sylvester's visit.

it has to be in your closet, how could you lose a shovel?

You'd be amazed.

Would this help spice up the start of the day for non-morning people?

If you consider destruction, crazed cats, bloodshed and unintelligible cursing "spice."

I can't imagine taking both cats to the vet at the same time without a car. Call a friend.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I've had an odd day today. Called in sick due to the plague, and when I went out to refill a prescription and eat lunch the wait staff happened to seat two of my former co-workers at the table next to me. So, two of the six adults I know well in a city of 600,000+.

Also, got accosted by panhandling junkies on my way out of the pharmacy. Not sure if they were smack or crystal meth addicts, but you don't get that hollow cheek glassy-eyed look from being hooked on phonics. And shouting at me before running up to stand 3 inches from my moving car is not going to get you a handout.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Would this help spice up the start of the day for non-morning people?

I swear you are suspiciously obsessed with how to help non-morning people.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Only once. Then it would be ded.

Yeah, it would need to come with extra buzzy bits, because they would be smashed against the wall every day.

Clocky, OTOH, might be useful.

Clocky is an alarm clock for people who have trouble getting out of bed. If you hit the snooze button, Clocky will roll off of the nightstand, fall to the floor, and run around the room, searching for a place to hide.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I swear you are suspiciously obsessed with how to help non-morning people.

It's because I pity you. Did you follow the link to the bed that gets progressively more uncomfortable?

If I could combine clocky with roomba I'd make a mint.

I know of good vets in Park Slope, Bklyn; Northern Manhatten/Riverside, Bronx, and Jackson Heights, Queens.

Oz's brain is just a little bit too small, huh?

Devi's actually friendlier to Mister Kitty after he's been boarded. Then she remembers who he is and goes back to her usual standoffish, bitch self.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, msbelle, that reminds me -- my bro and his partner have two cats. Anyone have vet recommendations? I have no idea where exactly they'll be living in NYC, but anything closer than Boston would be of the good.

I liked the one I went to on the UWS, so if they're up there, I could give more info.
