first an aquarium, and now a cat.

this random orange cat showed up at work tonight. me, being the animal nut, stopped what i was doing and checked the situation out. i could see from 50 paces that it was skin and bones, and she (?) was headed right into the car wash. not a good place for a cat, as you can imagine. i can't think of a worse place for a cat to be in--soap, water, wind, lots of cars to run you over... so i followed it in and snatched it out of the jaws of cat hell and put it in our office. good thing i was the only manager on tonight, or i would have no doubt heard, "get this f*cking cat out of here" a million times. it seemed nice enough, but was filthy, scrawny and wasn't interested in my hot dog from the convenience store. (apparently she'd gotten her fill on free beef jerky from the car wash guys.)

so anyway, this cat needed a home. i brought it to my place after a stop at the store for kat food and a litter box kit. (this cat better be good cuz i've now invested $5.66 on its scrawny butt.) it has clearly been indoors before cuz it walked into my place like she owned it. i felt bad cuz she ran around like she was looking for long lost friends. sorry bastard. i was hoping against hope that it would know what to do with the box, and i'll be damned if she didn't hop in there and stink it up just as i'd hoped. YAY! and stink it up she did; frigging stunk up my whole damn place. there's not enough frebreeze in the world to stop that smell. how do people deal with cat boxes??? kats should crap outdoors like dogs, thats all there is to it.

and now it has a name--Sonic. named after the place i work. (no, not the sonic fast food place.) and at the moment, Sonic is bellied up to the water dish, like a drunk with a beer. and now i've found someone that can stink up a bathroom worse than me. without question.

so now what do i do? contrary to what Sonic thinks so far, she ain't stayin' here. i think i'll take it home to the farm. mom and dad already have 2 cats just like this one and whats one more? right mom? MOM? (she's reading this right now.) i swear it's a nice cat. you'll love it.
