Hardly any space on the table with something as big as this! There's a book for size comparison.
She is all things adorable! Although fat and overfed, this purring-machine is well-trained too (well, she peed on one of my clothes, but I'll let that one go). And those eyes... man, it can melt any sucker (like me) from a mile away. The only downside to this arrangement is that every inch of the house is covered with flyaway fur.
My additional responsibilities with this new arrival have been cleaning litter, feeding, showering her with attention and trying to prevent the nephew from torturing it.
The boy has become quite the bully, finding new ways to hurt Cindy each time. Prodding her with sticks, dropping objects on her, driving over her like she were a road hump, gagging her and following her everywhere. No amount of harsh words or punishment seem to make him stop. It might be jealousy or just an opportunity to get some extra attention.

Either way, I'm further convinced pets are much better investments of one's time and energy than human children.

ReplyDeleteThat made for my morning laugh - a great way to start the day! Heh (:
Jokes aside, I suppose pets and human kids fall into different categories. The former need less investment (in all aspects I can think of) and hence the ROI is also lower. After all, you only get out of something what you put in it, n'est-ce pas?

The latter is also a high-stake investment. Huge capital and a lot of stress; and there is a possiblity of not getting full and promised returns on the long term. What's worse, it's a no-refund policy!
ReplyDeleteHehe... I know that didn't change your mind.
