Christ, we are now running a home for fucked up cats. One Thursday, Hop-A-Long called and said "We have a cat for you." Great, happy, I'd been lonely at home all day without a kitty to keep me company. So we drove out to get Benson, a 1 year old black and white barn cat that's very soft and cuddly, but has a problem with not knowing when to stop playing.
We figured this was payback for what we made Starr into: a biting, clawing playing machine that kicked and bit as hard as possible anything that came within her grip. So we get Benson home, and his is psycho playful, running around, harrassing the rats, climbing on things, sneaking between feet and generally being a crazy cat.
Then he uses the litter box for the first time. THis cat has the worst diahrea ever. And it stinks up the whole house. I am not at all happy. This morning, I awakened to the smell and almost threw up.
Add to this mix, Rain, the furry calico that belongs to V's co-worker, Wendy, the punk rock girl. Rain has had an interesting life, and is spending the week with us while Wendy's roommate moves out. This cat is just a bitch.
She hides behind whatever's handy, and hisses at whatever comes near. Benson was initially very nice and playful, saying HI, and looking for friendship. But Rain just hissed and swatted at him, then at me. Now she's curled up in the closet hissing and clawing at us all.
My hands are sliced to ribbons. I hate these cats. I think we're just going to stop fostering and go ahead and adopt after Benson. This shit is whack.
So we went to the A's game today. They played the Royals. 10 innings, tied 2-2, then the Royals walked Maclemore (Ex-O) so they'd have a force out on all bases. 2 outs, bottom of the 10th, Eric Byrnes hits a single and drives in the winning run. Rad. Second time I've ever been to an A's game, second time they've won.
So,the Colloseum sucks. We had to walk around for almost an hour to find our seats. in the end, we went out, around, up , over, through, and around again. Nightmare. I just sat and didn't get up for the whole game. Great game though.
V has Symphony tickets for Tuesday. Fun fun fun.
