How long until DH notices there's an extra kitten in the house? |
|
Someone did a drive-by kitten drop in front of my son's friend's house.
:grr:What the hell is wrong with people???:grr:
Beyond that- Of course his family can't keep it. They have a cat-hating dog.
So, at about 10:30 last night, my son called me and after a lot of cajoling and after DH had retired to our bedroom, Jillian entered our lives. (at least temporarily- I hope we can find someone who will give her a good home)
She's now very contentedly residing, behind closed door, in our 16 year old's room. #1. until she's vet checked #2. until I figure out how to break it to DH.
Thought he might notice the kitten paw playfully poking out from under the door this morning- and Lily and Marvin on the outside, playing with the 'now you see it - now you don't' paw. But he didn't.
The poor man is going to FREAK OUT.
Did I mention we already have OshKosh, Lily and Marvin? (cats) Did I mention we already have Andy, Woobie and D'Ogee? (dogs) Did I mention we already have Pixie and Dixie? (mice, of course) Did I mention we already have Mango? (blue and gold macaw) Did I mention we already have Buc? (beta fish) Did I mention our (about twice a month) trip to the pet store for food, toys, accessories and treats? (Yesterday's bill - $85.00) Did I mention the upcoming vet app't for Lily and Marvin? (5 months old, time to spay and neuter) Did I mention DH has an extreme allergy to cats?
Help me here, please.
How do I break this to him?
Officially changing my name to toast.

1. How the Hell Will He Notice?? |

I thought that SoCalDem and I had a lot of cats (9 and 6, respectively) but my hat is off to you!
My guess is the guy knows what you're like and either likes it or is used to it. I also guess that once he sees the new kitten and hears what happened, he won't mind a bit.

(cue the music)
Well, my bags are packed I'm ready to go I'm standing here outside our door I waded through the critters to say goodbye.
Leavin on a jet plane don't think that I'll be back again. Leavin on a jet plane til the cats are gone I won't be back again.
Oh, man, I think this one might just send him over the edge.

What kitten?
I don't see any kitten.
When he points to it, feel his forehead and look concerned.
:evilgrin:

The first time the kitten goes after your DH's naked, wiggling toes.

I'm really in trouble here, aren't I?

The only way to save yourself is if the cake is accompanied by a really nice gift.
Hmmm, let me think-
I've got it!
a kitten! definitely a kitten.
Save yourself. It's the only way.
