It's raining. I go out to the garage to get something, put the garage door up a little bit. In runs a cat i've never seen before. A very cute, very purry cat. Me being me, I dry him off and pet him a little. No collar, but it's clear he's somebody's pet. We shove him back out of the garage and shut the door. Fast forward 3 hours. The Mr. leaves to get dinner, I go out in the garage. Cat's sitting by the back door. He won't leave. We can't keep him, and it's dark and raining so i doubt there are signs up regarding a missing cat. What am I supposed to do with this little rugrat?!?!?!?! (For all you cat haters, do NOT post anything about shooting it or burying it in the back yard.  )

If i feed him, i'm afraid he'll never leave, though.

What are you talking about. I'm the master of my domain.................................. the garage!!! edit: My cat stayed in a neighbors garage one night in crappy weather. Came home the next morning. |

Put some tuna on the neighbor's front porch. Kidding! Our community has a nice program now that gets cats adopted or neutered, whatever. Likely, the cat is just looking for more places to get some food. They do roam from house to house. You are probably not it's only mark. |

SP1? That is PRECISELY hos I wound up with my second cat many years ago... Long story, and I no longer own cats (one died and the other my friend's co-worker has due to my allergies) but both cats were strays found in foul weather. Coincidence? I think not! Buggers PLAN it that way, I swear! |
Hey now, us bald guys need love to you know....

Okay, so we put signs up around the neighborhood and nobody called. The cat left yesterday night and we haven't seen him since. We come home from running errands today and my neighbor comes running over and asks us if we want a cat. I said 'Is it black and white and really purry?' We figure out it's the same cat...apparently he had gone over to her house and decided to stay for awhile. We've now contacted several people that might want him, and we're also calling a couple of places tomorrow that could take him in. Worst case scenario, i'll have to sell my soul to The Mr. in order to keep him. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that that doesn't happen.

I have no clue what DVD's at Target have to do with anything, but I agree with the suckage observation. 
|
Now that hurts. Just hurts. |

Hey, there's nothing wrong with the DVD section at Target... Well, there is that "Carmen Electra Aerobic Striptease" video that's a little weird:
 I've been working in the video department the past few nights.

A friend of mine bought that and says it's a terrible workout. She said it was a waste of money. |
Ha, ha.  Where do you live? I haven't lived anywhere LEO would give the next fart about a call like that. Most places, the humane society will not respond, nor will they take it if you bring it in. No kill cat shelter, or give it to a friend. Good luck on that one.... Last resort would be to break out the fried rice and some soy sauce.

Cool. All but 1 of my cats have been "strays" IMO, they make the bestest house cats.  And really, the 1 was ORIGINALLY a "stray".Though my next will LIKELY be from the Humane Society. (Still, technically a "stray" most likely.) |
