Milwaukee
I'm heading to Milwaukee this weekend. The reason for this trip is to do a kitteh swap.
See, I have two cats, Murray (spazoid) and Tucker (chillax-o-tronic). Murray annoys me to no end. He has recently decided that those little receipts you get after using your debit card are fun to play with. So he jumps up on my desk or counter looking for them. Or how he likes to pull down maps, which are about 4+ feet off the ground. Or how, when Tucker is on my lap, will swat and nibble at Tucker's tail until he jumps down at which point Murray will jump in my lap. Or how he seems to attack Tucker at random.
My friend Lynea has a similar situation with Wobbls (a litter-mate of Tuckers) and Scott (a cat they picked up to keep Wobbl company after another litter-mate of Tucker, Weebl, had to be put down). Wobbls needs attention 24/7 and that includes from other cats. Scott, on the other hand, does not want to play at all with Wobbls and will smack Wobbls a few times if he tries.
So I proposed a trade. My rambunctious, but adorably cute, Murray for Scott. We both end up keeping the cats we have emotional ties to (we've had Tucker and Wobbls since they were born in August of 2004), Wobbls gets another piss-and-vinegar playmate, and I get another cat which will allow me to COMPLETELY cover my new apartment in kitteh fur.
I hope to be back Sunday. Wisconsin beer will be purchased and passed around. I will post pictures of Scott when I get them. Here are some pictures of Murray. You can tell that most of them were taken awhile ago as he looks tiny compared to Tucker. The last picture is only a few days old and you can see how big he's gotten.
