sometimes my friends, real life and online, are more than i think i deserve.
also, i signed up to become a foster parent yesterday.
but not for human children. gotcha.
**disclaimer** if you're one of those who buys into all of my alpha-male blustering, read no further. your image of me will be shattered.**
some of you may know that i've this huge soft spot for cats. sometimes i could care less about people...well, most of the time, really. but cats...i've no defenses against. i absolutely love them and always have.
my two beloved, spoiled cats live in texas with my beloved mother because the nature of my career is such that i could be sent away for months on end on very short notice. i miss them almost as much as my family.
so, because of this soft spot i have this strange habit of going down to the PetsMart near my fav bookstore every once in awhile on weekends. i scurry in and sheepishly cuddle and pet the kittens whom the local humane society bring in on the weekends from out of town for adoption. the humane society employees always end up asking me why i'm not adopting since i obviously would be just about the best choice they've seen that day. i always relate the story how 'twouldn't be right to adopt another when my two live away from me as it is.
anyway, the lady mentioned how they need 'foster parents' for the kittens during the week, inbetween bringing them to PetsMart on the weekends for adoption. i would simply take care of them during the week and bring them up to the store on weekends in hopes they'd be adopted.
i'm not sure this is such a good idea, as i'd most obviously get waaaaay too attached. but it does seem like a good way to help out the kittens as well as assuage the little soft spot i have for cats.
what do you think?
and, i'm well aware that the above paragraphs are somewhat lacking in my usual literary flare and wit. cut me some slack, my liver is still filtering out about a 12 pack of guinness from last night.
