Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Kathy- she is making it hard for me to catch her and then clamping her mouth shut so I have to pry her jaw open! I need 4 arms. Or not to be single, but most times I rather like it! I will try the behind version of the pick up and see if it works better.

It still makes me sad that she is "not talking" to me.

Oh, I did hear that! Good one. No, I'm sorry, it's not the same. It may be good enough, but it is not the same.

Well, phooey.

Wait, you can be evicted because you had bedbugs? How is that right? If you have a lease, can't you only be evicted for, like, doing bad things? Bedbugs are not your fault, surely?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hee. (Edit: That was at Jen, not flea.)

Madness: I got a full-page, full color brochure from the mayor today, because he's running for a third term. They direct you to the website to volunteer. He doesn't even want my money!

Amarna did that when I would catch her and hold her to the ground, then try and force her mouth open. Having her in mid-air seemed to fool her into thinking she was heading for the carrier, so she went into automatic "complain as loud as I can" mode. Having her mouth open on its own made the whole procedure much easier--just wait for the meowing to start, then squirt it in and let her run away. Just make sure you have the dropper ready to go before you pick her up!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

They say they couldn't treat the bedbugs properly because I had too much stuff and my apartment was messy. Now they're saying it's my fault some other tenants are leaving.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

That's what I was wondering. Your landlord would have to have evidence that you knowingly brought bedbugs in (or wantonly disregarded their presence). And since you busted your ass to exterminate them, I think that disproves the "wanton disregard" theory.

Also, why do I open the door when I know it's someone I don't want to talk to??

Chicago has a pretty good renters rights policy, tom. Definitely check it out, because I'm guessing that they're the ones in violation, not you.

In more random news, msbelle, did you know that Rich from fourfour (also the VH1 blog) has a twitter that is all about what song is in his head? Because he does.
