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.....
