I think about getting a cat sometimes. So today I went to the SPCA site. There were lots of cats, some of which had their fees waived. I'd be happy with a free animal. Perhaps a dog...although I know two dogs who would be a little bit, or a lot bit, angry with me.
The cat that looked promising was named Harold. Harold was a few years old and liked to be the only cat in the house. That sounded good.
There there were Nerf and Turf. They went together. One hated everything and everyone, but had to have some surgery. One cat spent time under the cage of the other and meowed and then they spent time together and they were happy. La la la.
I visited Ali tonight. Both of her cats came out to see me. Angel and Cherub. Cherub has only just begun to come out to see me, but I'm the only one she comes out to see, so I feel extra special.
Perhaps it's good to not get a cat just now, though. I suspect I'd want them to leave me alone sometimes and that's exactly what a pet isn't supposed to do. They're supposed to love you and want to be with you and to want to be with you so much that they really really want to be with you even if you don't want to be with them and that way you know they love you like a pet should.
I suspect that's a codependent pet relationship, but that's the kind that usually sounds good to me. And that's what Spring and Sprocket often do. Although they usually leave me alone if I need them to. Unless I'm working on a project on the floor. Then they sit on it, but with their backs to me, so they don't disturb me.
Cats...maybe not right now. I have too many projects on the floor.
