I wanna die in bed surrounded by fat grandchildren, but guess that's off the menu.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Also, requesting interview~ma at 7ish tomorrow morning -- mostly from the East Coast and UnAmerican Bitches, since all the West Coasters will probably still be either in bed or gronking. (Except Suzi, whose ~ma I do most humbly request.)

Yours, yours, yours. I will be ~ma'ing even as I gronk.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Trudy, I'm glad the tooth repair was painless and quick!

Debet, I'd go for adult cats in your case, too. Kittens are still babies and if you're at work during the day, they can sometimes get into mischief. Adult cats are much less apt to get into trouble while you're gone. And they have less chance of being adopted, too.

I've chosen at random--because really, the animals are in weird situations that can cause them stress and it's hard to judge their true personalities until you get them home, settled and comfortable. I agree with Bev in that cats' personalities can change.

Dogs are easier to judge in that situation, I think.

I would think that any issues that cats might have would be brought up to you by the adopting organization--why the old owners dropped them off, or anything the cat has done while incarcerated.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Thanks!

Its amazing what they can do in half an hour with a little composite and a spinny filey thing.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Ooh ooh ooh-ooh ooooh

I've got a pneumatic tube!

This theatre's pneumatic tube system works! I am so enjoying sending things from the snack bar to the countroom and vice versa. It works just like the internet! Except there's just the one tube. And no trucks.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Laga, how cool! I have always wanted to see one of those in action.

ION, she says casually, I posted a couple of pictures of our house in my LJ. [link]

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Thanks for the ~ma. I didn't find the meds, but the palpitations passed. I think I've been overdoing the caffeine the past few days -- that can bring this on.

Laga, that sounds like SUCH fun!

Robin, i'm 99% sure the main branch of the New York Public Library still uses theirs.

And the house is darling.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Debet, any of those options comes under the heading of doing a good thing, but taking in adult cats from animal control is definitely saving lives that are extremely unlikely to have a second chance elsewhere, so very good thing. But at the same time, I have pretty much always let my cats choose me (except for the one my dad got me when I was 8, and that was through a foster network), so in your shoes I would likely go to the pound, and see which cats make a connection.

It's also not a crazy thing to think that the HS puts more effort into socializing the animals in their care, so going to the HS shelter and seeing who is there waiting for you might more successfully combine doing the good of giving some deserving cats a good home, with your self-interest in finding cats who are more likely to fit harmoniously together in your household. At the humane society here, they have the adult cats together in one big room, so you can see how they interact. Of course, the social dynamics of a crowded space like that are very different from a home with just two cats, and your HS might be set up very differently as well. But you might be able to observe two who are good friends already, if you choose that option.

Best kitty-finding~ma to you.

Our wings are not tired

Debet, glad to hear you will be enjoying new kitties, one way or another.

Our house is still chaotic with our new addition.

ION in a shift of gears from my horror work of late, I'm working on A Little Night Music tonight. I need to knock out the sound effects for the show. Thankfully there are only about 7 of them in the whole show.
