Really? We're closing out the delurking thread by bickering about cats and baseball?
...
...
Actually, that's kind of fitting. Carry on.
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

"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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
...I wouldn't much count on the kids for that, either. I mean sure, it happens. But sometimes they just skite off to Tibet and leave you foraging...

I haven't worked out unqualified love yet. I can barely feed myself on a regular schedule. No kittehs or babies for me.
