It's official: I have been adopted.

Horse Jr. and his mom were the main servants of our apartment complex kitty. When they moved to N. Carolina, I became kitty's servant. So now, her water and dry feed are in front of my house, and she spends much of her time sleeping here when she is not out doing Kitty Things. I'll attach a picture of her asleep on my bed. I make her sleep outside at night (on her high lux red blanket), as we're "not allowed to have pets here."

@TheHorse Years ago I tried to con a landlord about a cat. Did not work.

@sallypup Sh*t. My immediate landlord is a smoker and animal lover, so I'm hoping I can pull it off. But I worry. "Mr. Big" does not want animals here.

How often do you hear from Horse Jr? How is he faring in NC?

@TheHorse I think we'd all like to know how he's doing. You've talked about him so much that he's almost a member of the 'Lot family.

I heard from him every day, several times, when they were on the road. But I have not heard from him in several days. I think he is playing Miinecraft with his young friends from here. I am OK with that. But I would like to hear from him.

@BarBaraPrz He really is. I talked to him last night--helped him with his homework. It was good to hear his voice, and fun to "collaborate" with him again.

I'm not sure. Probably because they carry fleas and sometimes smell like...pets.

@arunima25 Nobody? Just kidding. Kitties are pretty non-stinky, unless you have a litter box, which I do not.

@TheHorse But once you own a pet, you take care of fleas and smell. Nobody likes that.

She is a pretty girl. And she has good manners (doesn't poop in my headphones or anything). But she picks up lots of burrs when she goes Kitty Prowling.

A couple of times. But he's being passive-aggressive with his mom (I think he's mad that she moved him to a strange/new place) and not doing his school work.

Perhaps because pets make apartments stinky? I don't know. She is a lady and does not make bad smells in my place. But I am going to put some flea powder on her. She scratches and grooms a lot.

I also keep dry and wet food outside the door for kitty. He has a pillow with a blanket where to sleep during the night, he comes inside time by time, but not for long time.
