WE GOT A NEW FAM. MEMBER–A CAT, “TIGER.” SURPRISINGLY, THE CAT ISN’T SCARED OF ME & LOVES ME, SINCE I DON’T MOVE, IF HE’S TIRED. HE LOVES 2 SIT IN MY LAP, UNDER MY COMP. TABLE. OTHERWISE, HE’S CURIOUS & FASCINATED BY TV..

I LOVE CATS, BUT OPTED 4 A DOG B4 MY STROKE, SINCE BABIES & CATS RARELY MIX. I WASN’T EXCITED ABOUT GETTING A CAT, THOUGH, BECAUSE I HATED IF R DOG BLOCKED ME, & I COULDN’T MOVE.

I’M A SOFTIE, THOUGH. HE’S SO CUTE & LITTLE! HIS INSISTENT “MEOWS” SHOULD ANNOY ME, BUT MELT MY HEART! GUESS, IN A WAY, HE’S MY BABY. (BUT HE’S REALLY JESS’ BABY, & THEY R SO CUTE 2GETHER!) I HATE LOCKING UP THE CAT–I SOOO UNDERSTAND HIS CRIES OF BEING UNABLE 2 LEAVE SOMEWHERE & WANTING SOME1.

I KNOW THERE WAS AN ARTICLE OF A WOMAN WHO WAS LOCKED-IN & GAVE BIRTH. I DON’T KNOW HOW SHE TOLERATES HEARING THE BABY CRY–IT’D TEAR ME UP INSIDE! WE JUST HAVE A CAT & IT’S HARD 2 HEAR HIM CRY!

BET MY CONTACT W/TIGER (LUCKILY, THERE’S A WORD SIGN) IS SEVERELY LIMITED THOUGH, THROUGH NO1’S FAULT…
