I will miss this
Naughty Trout. See what she's playing with trashing?
A rolled-up sheet of Japanese paper. Good thing for her I don't really care too much if my art gets wrinkled.
I'll miss living with cats. In my entire adult life I've only lived without cats in my home for a month, right after my little Angus ran off to join a circus and before Fat girl's pregnant teenaged slut of a momma Erma moved in (bringing Benny, Bjorn, Agnetha and Frieda along with her, unbeknownst to me at the time). Who is going to annoy me and wreck my stuff when I'm living all by myself in The Shack? Whose poop will I clean up? Who will knock things off tables and make yarn-ball string art all over the house? Anyone got a kitty they can loan me?
Sigh.

Cats with such Swedish sounding names must be commented by a Swede. Therefore I send thee this question: Were they two brunettes and two blondes too? I'm allergic and envious of catlovers...

Its painful to be kittenless.
Are there any campus cats?

Lisa: nope, but they were two girls and two boys: the girls were black and white piebald and the boys tabby. Of course, I didn't know the sex when naming them, so Benny is a girl (she's the one I kept, otherwise known as Fat girl) and Frieda was a boy. Agnetha got all fancy-pants when she moved away from home and changed her name to Pandora, Frieda changed his to Loki, keeping to the same geographical region in choosing his name, at least. Bjorn died.
During the birth, when there were three kittens and I didn't know if there were any more coming, I decided that if it stopped at three I would call them Barry, Robin and Maurice, but if there were four I would name them after Abba instead. Had I known that Bjorn would only make it three days, I would have called him Andy (but that would have been marking him for a premature death, I suppose). And it's just as well, because I wouldn't really have wanted to have my cat named after a Bee Gee. Yikes.
