Debruisering
June 14, 2006
First the bad news. My cat passed on. Diabetes and general fat assedness had taken their toll and took him out prematurely, John Candy style. Nine good fat assed years, four bad days. I should be so lucky in human years. I'm not happy about it, not by a long shot; but I’m not going to bitch too much. Nobody, including myself, can stand listening to a whiner.
I will say though, decating your apartment the day after your cat dies; cleaning up the cat hair, scrubbing out his dishes and litter box, moving the couch to gather up all his toys... DEPRESSING!
And the insensitive good news. When I went to the vet to pay his last bill about an hour ago, I snatched me up a new one.
I know, I’m such a mourner. Did I feel guilty for getting a new cat while the last one hadn’t been dead for a full day? Yes, but that’s totally retarded. Mice don’t know it is disrespectful to invade my living space while I’m undergoing some retarded mourning period... for a cat? Retarded.
So now, or actually tomorrow when I pick him up, I’ll have a new, 10 week old male cat. The lady at the vet asked me if I wanted to adopt his sister too. I just laughed and told her I destroy families.
I haven’t picked a name yet, but I think I’m angling towards “Faggot Ass Cat,” or “Fac” for short. Or maybe “Goo?”
Fac or Goo?
Sorry to hear about your cat.

I lost a pussy, I don't "have" a pussy. and I have some fresh pussy being shipped in from russia as we speak. and yes, I know, pussy/pussy puns are hackneyed.
Posted by: eebmore at June 14, 2006 08:14 PMof course, I'm kidding. thanks... girl.
Posted by: eebmore at June 14, 2006 08:29 PMFor a variety of reasons, I request that you name hime Ralph, not the least being that when he meows, you say "Right, Ralph." Also, we have always given our pets names that you could mistake for human, if only to annoy. Also, Ralph is an appropriate name for an animate vomiting machine. I've reallllly thought this one out but don't have a cat handy to name.
Posted by: molly at June 14, 2006 09:42 PMOut of sympathy, I refrained. But since you insist, I suggest that you name the new cat Furburger.
Posted by: tfg at June 14, 2006 09:58 PMRalph? I like it, but I’ll let you save it for your next cat. Growing up, my father had strict rules about cat naming. They had to be human names, but from antiquity (Homer would have been right up his alley). This led to names like Claudius, Abelard, Pandora, etc... Now, I liked the cats, but did not care for the naming rules. I found the names to be pompous and pretentious. Well, actually, Abelard was funny... because Peter Abelard was castrated.... but otherwise, way too hoity-toity and fancy-schmancy for me. My own cat name rules are nothing human, nothing cutsey-poo and nothing snooty. Bruiser was ironic and funny because he was a wimpy, doey-eyed fuzz ball. This time, I’m going for something guttural and meaningless... a nonsensical syllable.
Posted by: eebmore at June 14, 2006 09:59 PMFurburger is fantastic! Not what I was looking for, but I just might be swayed.
Posted by: eebmore at June 14, 2006 10:08 PMWe call one of our cats "FC" for "Fucking Cat". It fits her quite well. So does "Beast", "Booger", and "Animal".
Posted by: Sally at June 14, 2006 10:51 PMif you want nonsense, i say, "hmph."
but really i vote mum-ra.
Posted by: miss kendra at June 14, 2006 11:23 PMhow about something bushman? Like, "*click* *tunk*."
Posted by: eebmore at June 15, 2006 12:05 AMwe named him Homer because he's not allowed out of the house. A farm cat would be named Barney.
Posted by: molly at June 15, 2006 07:06 AMwhat if you lived in an alley?
Posted by: eebmore at June 15, 2006 08:28 AMDude, that sucks. Sorry to hear about your cat. Although Furburger has a nice ring to it, my vote is for Goo. I like Goo.
Posted by: fool at June 15, 2006 10:08 AMOkay, let me try this again.
Dude, sorry about your cat. I know you don't want to be all girly about it so I'll be girly for you. It breaks my heart.
Also, I believe that Furburger has a nice ring to it but I like Goo. Or Jake. Or perhaps Part Two. You can call him PT for short.
Posted by: fool at June 15, 2006 10:15 AMGreat. Now it works.
Posted by: fool at June 15, 2006 10:16 AMAw man, sorry about Bruiser, I can't beleive you're moving on to a rebound cat so quickly. Took me six months before I had the heart to replace Buddy, but I had him for 19 years, not nine. Names? I think you need to live with the little guy for a while to sense his personality. I'm sure you'll settle on something quickly enough, and furburger is as good as anything in the interim. Of course, you could name him Shiloh and sell pics of him to a tabloid for millions, because whatever you name him, I'm sure he'll be the cutest thing EVER.
Posted by: Broadsheet at June 15, 2006 10:56 AMawww. bruiser is licking toes and drinking beer in kitty heaven.
Posted by: esf at June 15, 2006 11:21 AMesf, on thursday, the day before he got sick, a friend was in the apartment without shoes. bruiser went to town and totally made out with his feet. right up until the end, he never changed.
broadsheet, that’s how I roll. I told myself, whether I felt ready or not, that the feline would be replaced immediately. but, you’ll be happy to know, when I picked up the new one this morning, the first thing he did was piss on my head. I’m not sure if that means he’s a catholic or an episcopalian; but either way, I’m baptized.
Posted by: eebmore at June 15, 2006 11:57 AMOK - just HOW did the cat manage to piss on your HEAD??? Did you not have him in a car carrier when you took him home? Was he scared and trying to get away from something? At any rate - now you know who's boss.
Posted by: Broadsheet at June 15, 2006 01:40 PMPS I know you're not a girly guy, but you damn well better post some cute kitten pics tomorrow!!
Posted by: Broadsheet at June 15, 2006 01:41 PMI had him sitting on my shoulder when I was paying the adoption fee. meanwhile, a bulldog came barreling through the door, causing the cat to jump on my head and answer the call of nature.
Posted by: eebmore at June 15, 2006 01:43 PMoh, and there isn't a rat's chance in hell of me posting kitten pictures. I'm a faggedy ass faggot when it comes to my cats, but i do not take kitten pictures.
Posted by: eebmore at June 15, 2006 01:47 PMMeh - post 'em. You can tell everyone I took the photos.
Posted by: Broadsheet at June 15, 2006 03:46 PMon this, i am intranssient. i have no intention of so much as pointing a camera in his direction. luckily, the camera is still on the fritz. i know, i'm being a big, fat jerk; but I gotta be me.
besides, someone would just use it as porn.
