check me out!

In today’s episode: A goat. It’s not a great picture, but it’s a goat :) Isn’t he (or she?) awesome?

Teh Kat with his new owner. Both seem very happy. Also, new owner isn’t going to declaw him, so that’s good. I miss the little guy already, but I’m also hugely relieved. Very very relieved. Also the cat was fluffy and cute. Did I mention that?

September 2006: Dexter. Backyard. Persistent. Adopted.

September 2007: Moses. Weeds at reservoir. Loud and fearless.

September 2008: Unnamed cat from campus. Grotesquely wounded.

He’s in the cat carrier, now. I’m off to the vet in a few minutes. My friend was showing me the cute, sociable kitten on campus, when he decided to do a Superman-type thing and landed face-first on concrete. He tore open his lower lip/face. It stopped bleeding soon, and he’s behaved pretty normally since then. No vets were open last night (except the $150-for-the-consultation-fee emergency service), but one told me on the phone he’d probably be all right. And sure enough he slept pretty much 13 solid hours, then at 7:00 began to destroy my bathroom.

No pictures, because his face looks… kinda horrific. But he is one of the yellow/orange stripey type cats. Maybe 8 to 12 weeks old? Young.

Hm. He’s stopped meowing. That won’t last once we get into the car.

I seriously do not go looking for these beasts, and stuff like this hasn’t happened between the Septembers. Sadly, I will not be keeping this little monster, either, even if (as I hope) he turns out healthy and not very seriously hurt. Two cats is enough.

You, in the front row. You’re from Wapakoneta? Interesting.

It’s Sunday morning. Do I have important things to do? Heowz yeh. Am I doing them? Nah. I’m posting a picture of my cat to the interwebs.

Here are my suggested captions¹ (which are kind of weak):
