So long, kitty :( →[More:]
So, I've been catsitting for some friends since August. Last night, they finally came to take her away.

Goodbye, Elvis (aka Smellvis, aka Elvoid, aka Madame Poopsalot). You were lumpy, you pooped too much, you constantly spilled your water, you ruined a chair, you never let me sleep past 7:00 AM, you exacerbated my allergies, stunk up my apartment, and scratched and/or bit me (unprovoked) at least ten times per week.

On the other hand, you were affectionate, always in high spirits, you greeted me at the door when I came home from work, you never hissed or growled, your occasional clumsiness was always good for a laugh, you only spit up a hairball once, and you provided constant entertainment with your endless repertoire of ridiculous poses and odd behaviors.

I think I speak for all the frustrated neighborhood Tom cats (always peering in at the windows) when I say: You will be missed.
