All of mine were strays. There is a scientific fact that they know where the suckers live. Modesty Blaise showed up on my back step last year with four kittens. Was able to find homes for all but one kitten, and ended up with mom, and the most stand offish of the kittens. Thanks to watching two different versions of Les Miserables in one week she is Fantine.

He's played me like a fiddle. What with the head-cocking, big eyes routine. (If you've seen Shrek 2 you know what I'm talking about.) Oh, and the slutty, "Pet me. Mmmmmm, you're the best head petter ever" routine. Yeah, he's good, really good. Maureen,

And given his careful, 'You'll have to win my trust' manuever, he basically had you psyched out from day 1. You never really had any choice, Caroline.

That's how many Bud and Gilda have. (It's handy having Bud and Gilda as a barometer of cat "fullness." Anytime The Dude gets too nutty about it, I can always say, "But, Bud and Gilda have fourteen cats.") And I think he's fighting the whole cute kitty thing anyway. That's why he doesn't want to meet New Cat. He's afraid he will fall --- hard. Rory,

He just needs to quit fighting the infestation and enjoy the kitty wonderfulness it brings. Is there a legal limit in Austin on how many cats you can own? Just asking -- so you can know when you've hit and exceeded it, Caroline. As you know, Toxoplasma is not gender-specific.

TD: "Are we keeping it? I don't want to meet it and get attached if we're not keeping it. And I think it's cruel to keep it in one room." MOI: "Er, uhm, well, I think I want to keep it." TD: "J'accuse! I knew you were going to keep that cat when you said you were rescuing it!" MOI: "Uhm, do you know how hard it is to find a decent home for a kitty this good? Or any kitty for that matter?" TD: mutter, mutter, "Too many cats." You know, I think I've won him over. (Madeleine -- New Cat looks remarkably like my tabby cat, Dave. Especially the eyeliner. I'm beginning to suspect tabbies are the cross-dressers of the feline world.) Well, The Dude confronted me this morning about the New Cat.

If I didn't know better, I'd say that cat is my late, deeply lamented Alexis Jude McRabbit, my once and only cat (we're all allergic, hence the switch of allegiances to dogs, notably Emily). Note the noble profile, the pensive brow, the elegant use of eyeliner... It looks like a fine temporary cat. Let us know when you decide that resistance is futile, and acknowledge your assimilation, Caroline. Good Lord.
