So my coworker found a stray cat this morning, and is going to take it to the shelter, but should I take it home instead???
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's good to see you, Nilly! Gamar hatimah tovah.
Jesse, have you met the cat? Did you like it? Did it like you? If all of these are "yes" then I'm firmly in the camp of "take the kitty home".

I have not met the cat. It is currently at my coworker's house, and if she brings it here, I'm pretty much committed, I guess.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I've always had good luck keeping cats my coworkers (or customers) found. FWTW.
If you bring it home and it's just not going to work for you to keep it for whatever reason, you can bring it to the shelter, right?

I think of you're asking the question the answer is yes, Jesse. And, what -t said.

Greetings from Urgent Care!
I have hearing loss in my left ear, (I hope) due to ear wax. My PCP couldn't fit me in until Tuesday, but I didn't want to wait that long, because, you know, hearing loss, so here I am.

Oh dear, Tom! I hope they can fix you right up.

True, true!

Also true. I keep thinking, "Why do all my friends just have cats drop in their lap?? I would take a cat that falls in my lap!" So I guess I will take this cat and see how it goes!

It's falling in your lap after bouncing into a previous lap.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Yay, cat!
Yikes, Tom. I hope it is an easy fix.
