So THAT'S where all the people reading this come from...
I am NOT having children. [EDIT]
Friday, April 18, 2008 @ 8:31 pm
Today, I picked up one of my cats and pet him while he was lying down on my chest, as per usual. I went to smooth over Snugglebum's tail when all of a sudden he let out a pathetic meow...of pain.

I checked it out and his tail was a little crooked.

I'm not going to lie: I panicked, and then I started to tear up.

Tomorrow, I'm calling the vet (a free phone consultation) about whether or not to bring Snugglebum in.

If I freak out this much--i.e. if I have THIS much of an emotional investment in a fucking CAT--then there is NO way I will be able to function with a child.

Plus, children are more expensive than cats and MUCH needier. I can't live like that.

Lesson for me: just say no to kids.

P.S. I checked around online (because that's what I do when I freak out) and now it doesn't seem like such a big deal. He probably got bitten by his brother or something. But still--I'm calling just in case.


This picture was taken a few months ago. Snugglebum's the one on top; on the bottom is Bickle.

POOR KITTEH! Hopefully he is alright.

I had a cat get bitten in the ass, her tail fell off...

ACK! Now you've posted pictures of kittehs and I really want one. :( I can't wait to have a place of my own, I am totally getting one.

can u pls pat ur cat for me?? it's just so adorable and i love cats...

u know what? i think it's a good idea not to have kids because the world is now very doom and very gloomy. and if u could freak over a cat .. u would surely don't want to have a kid to have such future filled with darkness. so it's a good choice to say no to kids. because i'm not going to have kids either. in fact, i want to adopt or support orphans.

Well, you're probably doing the world a favor by not having kids. Overpopulation and such, y'know? Hopefully it never gets to the point where reality mirrors Soylent Green, though. :S
