The remark about not wanting to "raise someone else's kid" irked me too. But, you know some people think like that. It reminds me of people who want (instead of an "older" cat) a KITTEN so that they can "bond" with it. Well that just tells me that you won't like it when it's bigger. One way to screen people for (cat) adoptions is to say "We don't have any baby kittens, but we have ones that are under a year old" or whatever, and if they still fill out the application for an "older" cat, they would be considered if kittens become available (which they do, unfortunately, thus making it harder for the poor older ones). I don't have a problem "bonding" with my older cats... well, sometimes I NEVER bond with them because they are feral or whatever... And people wonder WHY I have so many of them.
Anyway, this is a blog I've enjoyed recently and I thought this was a good excuse to introduce it over here. I really like reading restaurant stories, but I wouldn't want to live them!

I wanted to talk about the cat-things separately:
What I REALLY hate is when people will or will not adopt a cat because of what its fur is like. They either want one EXACTLY like a cat they had that died, or they DON'T want one like the cat that died (let's be benevolent this time and assume that "the cat that died" died of old age). Or, when people want a short-haired cat because it "doesn't shed as much" as a long-haired cat. I know that YOU know there is no direct correlation between LENGTH of fur and maintenance. Some LH cats get dreadlocks if you look at them sideways, others are silky, smooth even if you never touch them with a brush or comb. In fact, LH cats actually "shed" LESS that SH cats because it stays balled up, falls off in clumps, and LH cats swallow more fur than how much gets "shed".... IF YOU DON'T WANT SAND IN YOUR ASS, STAY THE FUCK OFF THE BEACH, for chrissakes! AND THAT GOES QUADRUPLE FOR YOUR FUCKING-UGLY OVER-PRICED FURNITURE!
