Introducing "Watanuki" Kulesus

Watanuki joined our family soon after the last post but it's been a while since I've had the chance to sit down and write about it.  It took a long time for this 7?-year old cat to adjust to our noisy household but now he is finally a part of the family.  Also, after much deliberation, we finally settled on a name for him.  It only took us about 6 months to do so!

Cat?

IM Conversation to be read only if you are REALLY bored and have nothing better to do: 
And to preface... we have 2 pet "Madagascar Hissing" roaches... not the real house-roaming normal kind of roaches...  at least not yet.... 

mkulesus: "Sisters,
Honey Cook is trying to find a home for Char Cook's cat. It is a beautiful black and white cat and very friendly. If you are interested in providing a new home for this cat, please let Larry or Karen know."

Richard: Huh?

mkulesus: hmmmmm.... I'm thinking about it. Just got this email....

Richard: No cats

mkulesus:: Would want to get the cat declawed though probably...   

really?

Richard: No cats

mkulesus: Just one???

Richard: No cats

mkulesus: But they are so clean... and easy to take care of.

Richard: They are NOT clean!

They clean themselves, but the spit they spread all over their bodies contains some pretty nasty bacteria.

Their claws and mouths harbor several bacterial species proven to be harsh human pathogens.

...particularly infectious to children.

No cats

mkulesus: I just don't want scratches on the furniture. I'd love to have a cat to pet. Changing just one cat's litter isn't so bad and Sam and I are here most of the day. It would keep him entertained....

I'm sure the kids would LOVE it!!!!

And Logan isn't as bad with cats as he is with dogs....

Richard: ...it might eventually trigger a genetic propensity for cat collection, turning you into a "crazy cat lady"

No cats

mkulesus: no, I'm not into collecting cats... I got frightened of that when we lived next door to a real "cat lady" who took care of 20-something roaming cats.

Richard: We already have a hamster and roaches, and the hamster smells and gets neglected.

No cats

mkulesus: hahah, you can tell that I'm really trying, right? (Tongue-in-cheek)

Richard: You have enough on your platter already

No cats

mkulesus: it would teach the kids responsibility.

Richard: Cats are ugly and retarded delinquents

No cats

Cats think they own you

mkulesus: but Ben would not want to come and visit us...

Richard: No cats

mkulesus: but this cat belonged to a lonely old lady who died and now has no-one.

Richard: Cats lick their buttholes, then kiss your lips with their raspy tongues

No cats

Cats are lonely old ladies who died and now have no-one

mkulesus: Abby licks your whole leg....

Richard: No cats

Hitler had a cat

No cats

Cats pee on backpacks

No cats

Cats crawl onto bed with you and want to siphon your body heat

No cats

No cats

No cats

No cats

No cats

mkulesus: ok

ok

ok

ok

I get it!

Richard: ...I tell you what we could do with a cat if we got it, though.

...

Stuff it and let Sam have the fluffy tail to play with.

...Like a lucky rabbit paw

No rabbits

mkulesus: I'm done talking (typing) to you about this.....

Richard: Cats eat stinky neglected hamsters

No cats

mkulesus: that might be good?

ok, fish it is....

Richard: We can talk with the kids

mkulesus: really?

Richard: Cats eat fish from fish tanks, too.

No cats

mkulesus: .... and tell them "no cats" once again, right?

Richard: We can think about it.

 

 

Drama to be continued.....
