fairyruneMany of you are familiar with tales of Rich's (mom's) cats. Some of you have met one of them, a few have met two, but the third very rarely makes an appearance. If he does, it is very brief and leaves nothing but confusion in its wake.
For the uninitiated, the spectrum of cats is as follows:
Elmo MacPurrypants, the Twenty Pound Kitten of DOOM! Elmo loves you. Elmo loves everyone, especially if they have hands with which they are willing to pet him. This cat is the biggest whore I ever have or probably ever will meet.
Ms. Zoe Whiskers Zoe is the most normal of the three, in terms of cat-like behavior. She loves a few select people who she knows and trusts, but only on her terms. She likes to groom my hair if I don't have any product in it. It's very cute.
Then, there's Othello. Othello does not like any people, really. He has this personal bubble of varying size, and if you step inside of its boundaries, he bolts. I was dating Rich for three months before I even saw this cat, and I even managed to pet him once! Those of you who were at my pajama birthday party will recall the "cat flying out of the wall" incident. We think he may be the ruler of some mythical Narnia-like realm behind the shelves in the den, but there's no way to tell. There are some who doubt his existence, including the crazy cleaning lady, but I now have proof!
Isn't he cute? That's as close as I got to him that day, but I finally got a picture!

Date: 2006-11-27 05:05 am (UTC)I discovered an adorable little stray kitten today, sitting outside next to our house, in a sort of nook area that is created by a concrete-tiled area and walled in by the wall/doors of the backroom addition, the house corner itself, and a tall fence, which creates a kind of U shape. **not a good explanation, sorry**
ANYWAYS
The kitten is mostly white, with its head from the eyes-up being grey/brown/black, and then the majority of its back, sides, and tail being the same colors. It actually has the symbol for Pi, in black fur, sides along it's sides. It is adoooorable. It is so much exactly the kind of cat I would pick to own, if I could have one.
Thing is, it's a stray; I finally got to hold it at one point and checked it's fur and found it has lice; my mom's allergic to cats; my dad isn't really fond of them; we already own a 16 year old dog & a guinea pig; and I'm living with my parents for winter, so I couldn't keep it if I wanted to, as I have no place of my own.
I fed it, watered it, put a box outside for it, and have already named it Pi.
I've never owned a cat in my Life, I don't know much about them, but.... I want to keep the kitty!!!
I can't - and I can't even bring it in for the night - and I hope it will be okay. Though it was skittish all day, and took some cleverness to catch it for the short time I did, it seems to be sticking around the backyard area... I hope it's still around tomorrow - maybe I can get to a shelter, at least. :(
I dunno what else to do for it.
