Man, you just get darker and darker, and the weird thing is, your aura? Beige.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Metaphorical barf v. real barf, you make the call.

That one? I would have preferred the real barf.

(But dealing with kitty hairballs every day was so NOT what I was promised when I moved in with The Boy and his menagerie.)

What's an MFY?

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

Really? We're closing out the delurking thread by bickering about cats and baseball?

Actually, that's kind of fitting. Carry on.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

ISTG if I have to hear about the MFY one more time I'm getting a divorce. BASEBALL LEADS TO DIVORCE.

Yeah, but cats get ringworm. Nast.

But I don't blame cats for that. Cats are cool with me. I particularly like the adolescent cats that are still working on their cool as they occasionally fall into the bathtub.

Cat owners working themselves into a frenzy of cat devotion? Eh, I have to see a little projection there.

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

The Mother Fucking Yankees, to a non-fan.

Okay, I guessed the F. Not bad.

The MFY won tonight, but the series is split at 1-1. No cats were harmed in the making of this World Series.

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

I thought dogs were supposed to be the uncritical lovers. Whichever. They kinda freak me out when they're indoors. Then again, I'm not sure I get babies either. Like kittens they can be cute, but I'm work-averse.

Definitely not uncritical, nor unqualified in their love.

That is the task: you give them unqualified love. They complain and dole their affection out as it pleases them.

Pretty much cats, I guess. But with slim odds that they'll support you in your dotage, which almost never happens with cats. Occasionally, sure you'll get a beneficent, dotage-supporting cat. But they're pretty rare.
