What a strange time it's been....

Following the "Jericho" finale, I find that it has been cancelled. So, following the advice of the others fans on the message boards, I wrote to CBS and voiced my displeasure. Some bright and shiney soul had the idea of sending nuts to CBS in protest based on the battle cry of Jericho in the finale of the show.

Bravo, my boy, bravo. What happened was that CBS got TONS of nuts! This so impressed them that they said..'ok, we will bring it back for like 7 shows and as a mid-season replacement. Hardly a crushing victory but hey, its back and I'm happy....along with millions of other fans.


In other news, Jack had some little black cat follow him home. She came in and never left. She's sweet as she could be actually and I had a mind to keep her around.

Had.

Jack hates her...despises her...loathes her. (By the way, did you know that if you use the worth loath to mean 'hates', then you need to put an e on the end of it: loathe. Use loath [or loth] if you mean reluctant/unwilling.]) Anyway, he doesn't want her around.

Well, anyway, this girly cat was big with babies....which she had June 5th, under my bed. It was an interesting experience. She had 4 large kittens that are just adorable. Some time, when I get some batteries for the camera, I'll take some pics of them. They are also 4 very individual looking kittens. One is black with some white markings. One is a tortise-shell looking baby. One is a grey tiger stripey kitten and one is a calico. I am just amazed by them....and by their sound. They can be VERY loud.

Jack wants them gone. He doesn't really have anything major against them. He sniffed one I showed him and then more or less ignored it. He's not all that long out of the oven anyway....but hard to believe he was once that tiny.

Since then, that girl kitty has had a hard on for Jack. She has chased him all over the house..both of them snarling and yowling. I had to get her off of him with a broom. 2nd time she chased him...she was out for blood. I made up my mind then, she had to go.

But I'm rather reluctant....I am loth to let them go. I went out to buy a litter box for her and put it in my room. Poor thing, she's in there most of the day with all them babies. Jack does go outside most of the day and I let her loose in the house, but I don't like to do that. Jack has been chased around again by some other cat. Poor baby is just catching hell anywhere he goes.

But, in about 7 more weeks, out the door they go. I'll maybe post an ad online somewhere for kittens to a good home or see if some no kill shelter will do that.

House will be back to normal and if Jack brings anymore women kitties home...I'm running them off!!!!!!!!!

But, I think, not before he does......he's not so nice now.
