12738631, I want to adopt my local bodega cat
Posted by JayEmm, Sat Feb-28-15 07:59 PM
what's the protocol here?

I don't even like cats, truthfully
but this tiny dude would make an ideal running mate

I mean, sure, his current environment provides more kibble and mistolin than I could ever offer.. but little fella doesn't even have a couch to crash on

or rubber toys to lose

or someone to scratch him on his stupid little head just the way he likes it

I could be that person.. I AM that person (I've got that head scratch down to a science, joe)

but he's not mine
he's the bodega's

I want to adopt him http://i.imgur.com/qsr5IKV.jpg

how do I go about doing this without receiving the same scowl I get when I ask for two independent smokes?

12738633, just swap him out with another cat

and you & I both know that once the health department walks through that joint, little dude's being sent off to kitty Rikers
12738637, lol nah they be letting bodega cats live

they keep the rats away!

that cat is damn near feral tho
you want him but he might not want you lol
12738643, that unspoken bond

I understand his upbringing
sometimes he needs to run them streets

it's what he knows

but when the sun comes up and little bro needs a cold bowl of milk and a hamper full of dirty socks to crash in,

I'm there

milk is a nono. not sure how the propoganda of giving cats milk started
but it gives them the runs. its not good for them. just FYI

lolol

12738821, LOL this post is awesome
Posted by teefiveten, Sun Mar-01-15 12:24 PM
first off, i have too many feels because of it
secondly, this is funny and someone should do a short based off this. lol.

but SHA kinda right that cat is probably borderline feral but talk to Jose or Habib. they may be interested in letting the cat go
