Melissa,
I would comment on "having too much Vodka" but I would probably leave the
PG rating......... :)
Have a good weekend!

Very funny! J I hope my husband sees it as funny as well! We always have
a chuckle over the growing number of kitties but not after a lot of grief in
the meantime! I know he's going to be frustrated-as am I since our house is too
small for more cats, but a kitten is so tiny, it surely won't take up much
space!
I hate keeping things from him, but this little girl might be a secret
this weekend-unless I have too many vodkas again! Then who knows what will
happen!
Melissa

Yes, unfortunately kittens @ 12 weeks count as cats.
My boyfriend has the rule " Every set of pointy ears is this house is
considered a cat, regardless if it lives under the bed.".
Yes,folks, I even asked But what if we never SEE the cat, it lives under
the bed, couch, etc........"
No luck.
However, when he used to work out of town a lot, I would ALWYS bring home
a cat or 2.
SometimesI wouldn'tget to talk to him for 2 weeks or so, since he would
be "out in the field" (on a dig) in Mexico or in the west Texas dessert, no
cell phone reception.
I always hoped that he "wouldn't recognize" the new cat(s).
W/kittens I always tried to foster litters that all "looked"alike, so
that he MIGHT not be able to count them.
THAT got blown outta the water when he was sitting on the couch one night
and 3 little orage tabbies ran over him, one right after the other, chasing
each others' tails.
It was like that scene outta the Simpson's episode where the dog has
puppies..........Dooooooooo......!
Good luck w/your new kitty, Melissa, we all feel your pain..........

Oh dear me! I could write a book entitled "5 vodkas, an ex-marine, and
a kitty." I went to have a birthday drink with my career Marine buddy who was
78 yesterday. That drink turned into 5. Then I went to check on the stray that
I'm looking after who is incidentally named Sarge after this buddy of mine-both
are blind in the right eye. As I'm calling for Sarge, out comes a little gray
tiger. She was so hungry but also scared. I scooped her up, probably not very
gracefully after the vodkas-I've noticed quite a few nice scratches this
morning from last night.
She stayed in my home office room last night and left two nicely sized
poops near the litter box on the carpet J. She's not a friendly kitty that
likes to cuddle-lots of hissing. Poor thing has had a rough life so far. Her
ribs are practically poking through.
I took her to the vet this morning, but I haven't figured out what her
name is yet. I'm awaiting the FeLV test. So keep your fingers crossed-for the
test and for my marriage! Haven't told my husband yet! I might board the kitty
over the weekend in hopes that I find homes for my two foster cats. That would
assuage my husband. I need to make room (we have 3 of our own "permanent" cats)
before I take in more. We have a 5-cat rule. But does a kitten (about 12 weeks
old) count as a full cat? J
Hoping for the best.
