The Cat (A.K.A. "Tigger")

Did you know I'm the meanest mom? No, really...I have it on good authority that I never, EVER, let my kids have any fun. I never buy them toys. I never let them do what they want. And I most definitely NEVER let them have any pets. (One of those statements is true.)

Why is it, then, that I keep finding this in my house?:

Our neighbor cat has obviously discovered my family's weakness for pathetic, cold-looking animals who hover at our back door.

Shoo!

Oooh. You are in trouble. Is it actually someone's cat? Or a stray. Cause if it's a stray, you guys might just have a new pet. ;)

Tigger sure looks comfy on your couch...

Amy, I know you have it in you to toss this kitty to the curb. Remember Howard, the hideous oozing cat? Someday, Tigger will be Howard. Protect your couch. Protect your sanity. Amen.

Oooh...Howard. I do remember that.

Luckily this is my neighbor's cat. He hangs out for a moment or two at my house but I feel no pang of guilt when I toss him, unfed, out into the cold. Go home, Tigger, go home.

You're definitely nicer than me. I despise cats and even though our neighbor's cats have often come around, there's NO way I'd ever let it in my house.

I guess that makes ME the meanest mom.

you and your kids are both crack ups! have you thought about getting them a Gecko? we are probably going to get our kids one. Apparently they are super easy to take care of.

Hey! We have one of those too! I haven't seen it around for a few months. It hopped in my bed one morning! It scared the crap out of me. It comes into our garage when someone opens it and then sneaks in somehow (Jack??). I wouldn't mind so much, but Connor and I are allergic. Funny that you have a neighbor (in your) house-cat too.
