Spouse Takes Advantage of Student's Extended Absence to Smuggle New Creature into Home: Woman Concerned About Becoming "Cat People"
The Stwalls are suckers for stray cats. So when this mangey black kitty showed up at their door several days in a row, they couldn't turn her away. Somehow, the kitty ended up in my house. First of all, Car is going to be pissed, because she's been at the vet for two days getting her womanly things tied up or whatever, and she's going to come home to find this new creature eating out of her dish. Secondly, the cat doesn't know how to meow properly. The sounds she makes are something between a lamb bleat and a quack. I can't quite figure it out. However, she is very affectionate and cuddly. She follows us around and likes to be held. She forces her head under my hand so that I'll start petting her. She likes to nuzzle. I'm not quite sure what to do with that. She really respects our persons, doesn't bite or scratch or anything. Weird. So very unlike Car. She's kinda jumpy though. And kinda classy. We named her The Wiz. She's so very sweet, I'm sure I'll enjoy having her around, I'm just getting over some initial shock about having another creature in the house. There are, after all, a lot of creatures in my house these days.
I hope Donn is proud. He was not shy about hassling us about getting a pal for Car.

Don't worry; you are a couple cats and many appliquéd sweatshirts short of becoming a "cat person".
Awwww, kids and cats. You are becoming to domesticated for words. Another cat isn't bad, just watch out that you don't end up with another brother!
Another essential elment of being considered a "cat person" is an ever-present layer of cat hair on your clothing, coupled with a faint scent that is suspiciously cat-urine-esque. As long as these elements are not present, you are probably in the clear.
I've seen Car in action (for example, gnawing away at Matt's hand) and I'm a bit worried for The Wiz, especially since she seems a bit, um, 'special.'
Also, I don't think you can ever have too many cats. I had a cat deprived childhood because of my brother's allergies, and can't wait to have one of may own. Can't wait to meet The Wiz!
-s.
Car is going to eat The Wiz alive.
Perhaps Anonymous of the 2:12 post could adopt The Wiz to prevent future kitty mayhem?
