    That’s practically what happened with Siegfrieda (my cat) and me.

    Long story short: a stray hid herself in my garage. She was beaten, bleeding and pregnant, so I rushed her to the vet. “I don’t want another pet, we’re going to fix her up and find her a new home.” Seven years later, she’s still here.

    Nobody buys or adopts cats. They just show up to your house one day expecting food, you feed it, and it sticks around.

    Everyone knows that.

          I thought coathangers fed themselves with one half of a pair of socks? I can’t think of another explanation for the odd socks i keep ending up with.

            It’s washing machines and dryers that find socks delicious.

            … which is less of a joke than you’d think. Small items can get partially forced between the rubber seal and the drum and then when the drum rotates, the item is slurped outside like a strand of spaghetti.

            Also sometimes identical-looking socks that get paired together by the manufacturers eventually drift in appearance because they were from separate dye batches, leaving the owner with a pair of odd socks.

            The other other explanation is the sock gnomes. We don’t talk about the sock gnomes.

    Me: “Nope, I’m allergic and I prefer pets that actually like me.”

        They’re allergic so perhaps never had the chance to experience it. My kitty is curled up in my lap purring, I feel sad that some people underestimate them.

    Great, so you’re saying the universe will shoot the cat I found out of cannon. It saves me having to do it
