Caution: Curmudgeon-Armor-Piercing Ordnance In Vicinity
I buy my pet supplies at a local boutique whose personnel know me far too well. In particular, they know I’m a soft touch for a stray.
Just this past Thursday, when I walked in there to buy dog food, the counter attendant’s face lit with an evil grin, the sort that says I think the solution to our problem has just reported in.
She was talking to a perplexed-looking woman in whose hands was a tiny black kitten with midnight-blue eyes.
I should have run. I should have turned around and not looked back.
Anyway, here’s the newest arrival at the Fortress of Crankitude, Uriel The Great:
But just as I’m helpless to resist anything with four legs and fur, those with four legs and fur are equally helpless to resist me:
If only it worked on women.

I have the same problem in regard to animals, as evidenced by three cats who let me live in THEIR house with them…

Posted by Deb on 09/12/2004 at 06:17 PMoh man.
You had no chance against that opposition.
Posted by on 09/12/2004 at 07:54 PMOh sweet mother of all that is cute and fuzzy...I think my heart just puddled into my shoes…
Oh man oh man oh man, you’d have to have a heart of solid granite not to be moved to a case of spontaneous “AAAAAAAAW!"s by that fluffball!

Posted by Denita TwoDragons on 09/12/2004 at 08:51 PMThis is another reason we love the Curmudgeon (in addition to his writing): We have five formerly stray dogs.
Congratulations on the latest addition. I hope he gets along well with the rest of the pack.

Man. You’d better not *ever* visit me - you’d head home with a menagerie of kittens and puppies. ;]
Posted by Ironbear on 09/13/2004 at 02:51 AMI got one a few months ago, even as they get bigger you still see them as the little ball of fuzz that fit in the palm of your hand.
Have funPosted by on 09/13/2004 at 12:07 PMBeing a cat lover myself, I’ll just have to say what Pamela would say at this point, which is, “Awwwww, wook at da widdle FACE!”
He’s got the same sort of soulful-eyed look as our little fluffball guy Maui. I hope he prings you as much happiness as Maui has brought us.
