Surprises Of All Kinds

[shake_the_stars]

dethorats, I got your package! We've been enjoying the delicious goodies, and Alan Moore is always a pleasant surprise (though you may have given that one to me already; I'm not sure. HELP I'VE TURNED INTO ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO DOESN'T KNOW WHICH BOOKS SHE HAS). Thank you! ♥

So the kitten had a vet's appointment this morning.

Your poor kitteh!!!! He has been through so much at such a young age. Sounds like he will be in tip top shape soon enough though. <3

Free coffee ftw! I catch Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me on NPR once in a while and it's always so much fun. :)

Sounds like you're having a great holiday. :D

I know--we think he's only about 3 or 4 months old! The tail thing was probably the result of an accident or an altercation with something--we don't think it was deliberate abuse, because he knew that hands are for petting when he started stalking X-chan. :D (He hasn't got feet and being underfoot figured out though, yet, which has resulted in Cat vs. Uncaffeinated Lee and the consequent Vigorous Swearing and Pleas for Forgiveness.) He seems to have been socialized, so X-chan wonders if he was the kitten someone couldn't find a home for and subsequently dumped. Ugh, people are bastards.

Free coffee RULES ALL. :D We play NPR all morning on Sunday, and now I have Sundays off indefinitely and can enjoy it properly.

It's a working holiday for me, but I'm not complaining at all; I'd far rather do RMUTA busywork than Lol-Mart busywork. Also, they let me wear my own clothes! :D

Your kitten of the night looks just like our rescue case, Captain Jack, who is also a male tuxedo cat who came bearing fleas, but fortunately for him hadn't been so brutally abused by life and circumstances. Your poor little monster. Every time I looked at those photos of him today, I had to force myself not to tear up at his little tail! It's sad he has to have it amputated, but is it wrong of me to think it will be cute in the end?

I hope all goes well with the vet appointment, and that he fits in well with your family and has a long, happy life. ♥

I figure you'd go with Hideyoshi?

The day I get a boy and a girl cat, they WILL be named Samanosuke and Kaede.

My cousin had a cat (female named Garfield) who's tail was cut off by some sadistic asshole.

[shake_the_stars]

No. Too long, and my mother wouldn't get it.

But what will Osiris think?

Oh, poor Garfield. People are bastards.

[samanosukesgirl]

Monkey? If anyone asks, just say "Donkey Kong".

When I get both cats, Osiris will be.. will be.. BUT I SURE HOPE NOT!!

She was a kitten when that happened.
