A Conversation About My Cat

Last weekend my ex-wife, with whom Alex the cat is temporarily living, treated me to dinner at Tumbleweed. When she returned me to my temporary abode, this conversation took place:

SHE: Do you want the remainder of the taco salad in the doggy box?

ME: No, I'll not eat it. You take it home. Alex likes taco salad.

SHE: I'll not feed it to Alex; I don't need a cat with diarrhea in my house.

ME: Has Alex had diarrhea?

SHE: Uh-huh.

ME: Has he vomited?

SHE: Uh-huh.

ME: Hair balls?

SHE: Of course.

ME: I miss Alex.

SHE: Alex misses you. I'm not home much and he's lonely. He cries a lot.

ME: I miss Alex.

SHE: You can have him back as soon as you are able to move back to your house... with my blessings.



I really miss Alex.

  9. If hairballs and diarrhea make you lonely and nostalgic, then it must be true love!

  11. Pets become so much part of the family. I'm sure Alex will be thrilled to be in your presence again. Just leave out any Mexican food of any kind. I have the same problem. ;)

  15. I'm so happy to hear that you two will be reunited! I couldn't imagine living without my kittys, no matter how naughty they are- read Leo- I love them so much. At least it was only temporary, and you can visit him.

    Love,
    Dawn
