Cat Withdrawal, Episode Whatever

[oloriel]

We had a lovely cat visitor again. It was a very young one, crying loudly from the fence. Naturally, I went out, and she jumped down the wall and came up to me, sniffing my hands, then curling up on my foot. She was really cute and cuddly and playful, and when we offered her cream, she took it as if she hadn't been fed for days. Really beautiful cat, too, with a fur pattern that looked very much unlike she was some random stray. Still, there she was, all alone, and hungry, and cuddly, and eventually we decided we'd take her in if she'd come (because I was beginning to freeze, out there).
She didn't come, though, and eventually we heard someone from the adjacent garden shout "Shakira!", and the cat jumped over the hedge to there.
... Shakira. *twitch*

And I'm left with a half-broken heart and some scratches on the back of my hand ("I'm cuddly! I'm wuddly! I want you to lift me up! HAH, GOT YOUR HAND!").
I want cats again. *mopes*

Ah, the mobile allergen depositories strike again. :)

But the scratching: it reminds me of the stray cat from the comic Azumanga Daioh, who keeps biting and scratching the cat-obsessed girl who isn't allowed to keep cats.

Yes, everyone needs a cat, or two!

Get some! Give them a good home! Young ones, cuddly ones, beautyful ones... caaaaats.... ignore me.

But you speak my mind, Fuchs dearest - how could I ignore you?

*nodnods* We'd have two - one for each of us, so to say - but Jörg isn't sure it would be a good idea before I go to Japan (if I go to Japan) and such... *meeps*

*sigh* I remember too well the awful days of studying when I was not allowed to have a cat in my tiny apartment. But believe me, when you are done with the fun of studying or back from Japan, the cats you will get then will make it up to you!

I think this sentence will scare my husband! *snigger*

Ah, yes ... husbands *grins*
My boyfriend (and soon husband) would rather have a dog. But he makes the best of my plans to get a cat instead: "Well ... two purring, soft females in my bed."
