In which Sky is crushed and annoyed.

• This morning started off with such potential, and then was utterly ruined by the people from Felines and Friends, the adoption agency for the kitten than I wanted. Apparently, they have an indoor only adoption policy. I say apparently because not only is it not on any of their literature or their website, but their adoption application form asks whether the cat will be indoor, outdoor or both. I feel like they tricked me. They got my hopes up and wasted my time. I am crushed and annoyed.

• My first class is tonight. The assigned reading was the first 11 chapters of Genesis—which, yes, I've read the entirety of the book of Genesis and large portion of the rest of the five books, but I am looking forward to a good discussion. And I'm looking forward to seeing people I haven't seen in months. Fun times.

• Yeah, ok, this thing with the kitten has just ruined my morning. I guess since we're in the "adopting a kitten/cat" mind frame we'll keep looking. And we've always had really good luck with the animal shelter here in Santa Fe, and we'll check Craigslist too. I just feel like that kitten was special.

• I had a dream last night that involved me being royal, awesome dresses and robes, and a really hot man. This morning I had a dream that I was Kat Stratford from 10 Things I Hate About You and I was dancing tango with Patrick Verona (Heath Ledger) in a parking lot.

• Mom just called—we're going to go over to the animal shelter tomorrow on my lunch break. This is slightly cheering.

• I can't even think of anything more to say.

Oh, honey! Why can't you make that kitten an indoor-only cat, though?

Good luck with class! Genesis is lots of fun. Which translation?

It's not all that realistic to try and keep cats indoors only at our house. (Particularly with my mother.) And also because the cat we're fostering for the next year is an indoor/outdoor cat. It's ok. I'm sure that kitten will find a happy home.

Plaut translation. It's the Torah that my temple gave me on the occasion of my bat mitzvah. (Read: I own it, so I can write in it.) Also, it's the one that has the most water damage (our roof leaked onto our bookshelf) so I don't feel too bad about writing in it.

Neat about the translation! Hugs about the cat.

It's not a spectacular translation, but I am enjoying it. (It's got really lovely paper, too. And it's slightly crinkly from the water damage. It's nice.)

Thanks! *hugs back*

Why do they insist it needs to be indoor?

Also -- if you truly think that cat was special, see if one of your nearby friends will adopt it (filling out the proper information). Just pay said friend for everything and then do a transfer after the cat is out of the shelter place. :) It's how we got one of our animals.

IDEK.

Not a terrible idea, but I would feel bad, and my mom probably wouldn't approve. But the animal shelter has 20 kittens, so my mom and I are going to go look at them tomorrow at lunch. People are so irresponsible with animals that there are almost always poor things to adopt from the shelter.

Obviously the REAL reason they don't want you to have a kitty is this: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/pets_war

because you would totally do that. and then you would take over the world. and they can't be having with all that...
