@Orb2069 Not so much as cats have become fascinated with us, and being the sensible person I am, I gave into the prevailing winds. :)

Basically, @anthracite and I moved down to New Orleans and our neighbor had been feeding the local strays and taking them in when they had kittens.

We helped her feed them a little, and... I mean, they're cute as fuck, so of course we pet them and let them invade our house a little!

And then our neighbor moved away suddenly and we were stuck caring for the whole clan of six... and then one of them dropped two kittens on us... and then one of them dropped three MORE that she refused to raise...

So yeah. We had to learn a lot about cats real fast. :) Fortunately, there's a happy ending: all the babies have been adopted out and all the adults have been spayed/neutered.

So now we just have six cats. *crooked, disordered, frazzled smile* :}

The funniest part about all this is that we were joking about Peg casting some kind of spell when we got down here to attract The Perfect Pet Cat, preferably black of course because she's witchy.

And now we've helped raise a total of SEVEN black cats. She never even got around to casting the freakin' spell. We can only assume someone leaked the information on the Cat Internet. :)
