Cat update
So it's snowing like it's the end of the world right now, so obviously no progress in putting up posters.
My roommates seemed to think it was a great idea to socialize the cats as much as possible... their cat has never been around another animal since it was taken away from it's mother... I told them this was a really really stupid idea but they did it anyway. Their cat hissed, the new cat tried to go closer, their cat attacked, new cat ran away.
I reminded them again it was a bad idea, but while at work today Kristen decided to let them play, or whatever it was she had in mind. I don't know exactly what happened, but when I got home their cat is now in my room, and it's scared shitless. I can't go anywhere near it without it trying to kill me, and at the moment it's unfortunately sitting under my computer desk so I have to reach from as far away from the computer as I can just to type.
Why do I get the pissed off cat? It's their cat.
Edit:
One thing that I need to remind people of is that keeping this cat isn't really an option... them getting along eventually is all well and good, but there isn't really going to be an eventually. Either we find the owners, or we give it to the SPCA. I can't keep the cat, and they plan to travel for a while this summer and expect their father to watch their cat... it would be irresponsible to keep two... which is what I'm afraid they have in mind to do.
