Is it ever legal to murder your cat?

[cornerofmadness]

No? are you SURE? Certainly it has to be. Roy has never slept inside all winter before. Well, he's not as dumb as he looks. He has figured out that the alarm means I'll be up to cater to his whims. He has also figured out that I get up at 7 AM except on friday I don't have to. Well fifteen minutes after my alarm should have gone off had it been any other day, ROY decides I must get up NOW and begins howling at my door.

Surely it's legal to drop kick him? No? Okay how about after he runs out the door (I was trying to shoo the kitten out and shut the door and carry my lunch bag) then makes me chase him all over the compound before I give up in disgust. WHy do I want him inside? I need to take him to the vets in the afternoon.

Luckily I only live about 8 miles from work so I go back for him thinking I'm screwed. It's hot outside, no seriously, hot for this time of year like 60+. I figure after how frigid it's been Roy is long gone out playing. Luckily he came running to greet me. I scoop him up and head back to work since I promised students I'd stay late so they could study the bones (They never showed. Oh am I mad)

EVERYONE loved Roy and Roy loved everyone. I did let him out in my office and apparently the rules of home don't apply. He jumped up on the desk and was fascinated by the computer game I was playing (Hey I was off work technically) then he jumped on the table and looked out the window then he went under everything so he was a filthy cat when we got to the vets.

So we get to the vet and the only place to sit is a bench that has a bob-tailed calico (I forget her name) and a male pit bull. So I sit and read. Kitty flops on my thigh and demands pets. Dog noses in and wants pets. Finally the pit bull decides this is not enough, sits on me, sits on the cat crams himself under my arm then head butts my chin. PET ME. The pissed off cat swatted ME for this.

Naturally Roy is out to impress everyone. The vet doesn't think his ears are infected, just prone to getting nasty (like every pet I've cared for in the last 10 years) so I get to clean them, he takes all his shots with no one holding him and a very zen expression on his face. We're all impressed. Roy strolls into his box and we head back to the college since I told my friends I'd meet them for wine and cheese (but they stood me up. Maybe they changed rooms or something)

I come home and bye bye goes sweet zen kitty and devil cat returns. He's outside raining havoc. good riddance. Get it all out of your system now boy.

oh and I figured out why my stomach hurts so much the last three days...Yeah i bought that medicine for 330$ b ut forgot to put it in my medicine tray. Well DUH. it doesn't help unless I swallow it

My diagnosis: Roy is a cat. ;-P

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah, remind me again why i want one

[wildrider.livejournal.com]

I ask myself that many mornings. Cuervo knows the alarm, but doesn't seem to have grasped WEEKENDS (or the fact that the alarm does NOT go off at 3 am, and I have just gotten up to go to the bathroom).

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah Roy is developing these issues. but they all seemed to develop spontaneously this week

[chaos-by-design.livejournal.com]

Lupin is even worse. He wakes me up in the middle of the night when he wants food. And he always seems to want to be fed a couple of hours before his official mealtime.

Oh yeah and he likes to do laps around the apartment sometimes. It's nervewracking, especially when he's leaping on all the high stuff he can at high speed and I'm worried he's going to land on my head or something.

But he also likes lie down right along my thigh while I'm on the couch and keep my leg warm, so I forgive him everything. Cuz he's cute.

Back when I had my 2 cats still living with me, the one younger one found out that my alarm clock woke me up and timed it just right so that as soon as it went off she would literally pounce on me and want to cuddle. It annoyed me at the time but now I totally miss it and her as well. But I understand how annoying Roy is being! XD

I love cats!!

Roy Boy, you're AWFUL.

What, does he have Rogue's problem on top of everything else?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes he is. he's also listless so I th ink all that medicine has made him sick

No hair in his ears and luckily no tumors (I hope) like Iktomi. If this continues i'll have her check but he doesn't have pus like Iktomi did, just lots of black goo that looked like mites to me

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Ewww, goooooo.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

uber brat.

i did print out the end of my novella

getting it to you will be trickier (I work the entire time our pathetic post office is open)

when is a good time to get yuo on IM? I'm gonna try to breed you a silver

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

aw sorry yours isn't with you any more.

Compared to my last cat (who said nightly prayers to Satan) Roy's a good boy

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

snort. Iktomi was a lot like that. I think Roy is finally getting used to being inside after so many years and now things he owns the place

[chaos-by-design.livejournal.com]

Um, I have news for you. Roy is a cat. He DOES own the place!

[masqthephlsphr.livejournal.com]

My older cat is completely senile and howls like an old lady being tortured in the middle of the night.

I find the best defense against cats is a closed bedroom door and earplugs.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i have one I'llneed the other

poor old cat

[mulzrule.livejournal.com]

You know it's bad when other people's critters are trying to boss you around. XD

[0-mother-0.livejournal.com]

Hey no problem - Whenever you can will be fine.

And thank you so much for wanting to breed me a silver! Unfortunately, I'm totally out of the dragon business. I think I burned myself out on it.

[absolutefiction.livejournal.com]

Aww, that's good. <3

lol

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

ah well then no problem then. I haven't gotten bored with it yet

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

seriously. It's like I'm SUCH a pushover

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

right now he's owning the porch. He's sick and I want him in but he hisses at me if i touch him (this isn't usual for him. I'm sure he's very sore and sick from the vaccinations)

[saphira112.livejournal.com]

I promised students I'd stay late so they could study the bones (They never showed. Oh am I mad)

Dude, can you fold one of said students up and put them in a box and send em to me? I promise I'll send them back... semi-together >_>

Also, Roy has become very bi-polar over your entries... *stares at the demon kitty*

In an actual reply to your entry, is it NOT legal to drop kick the cat. Well, it IS as long as the cat isn't severely hurt.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

they'd better have a good reason when i get there tomorrow

most cats are kinda bipolar

are you sure about that

[saphira112.livejournal.com]

*nods*

Ehh... not 100% sure, but... *grins*
