    And when there’s stray cats in cities, they usually form packs/clans.

    sad story but it ends happy don't worry

    so there was this cat on the side of the road and I went up to it and it was bringing food to his still partner. he was like rubbing against her and purring and grooming her fur. I thought the cat was dead but when I walked up to it the big floofy white cat came up to me meowing really loudly and rubbing against my feet and legs and I was like “what that’s really unusual for a stray to do that especially a male protecting his mate.” so I went over and he was nosing her body and I said “I’m so sorry buddy but I think the’s dead” but he kept meowing and bumping up against me so I touched her and she was warm but her heartbeat was slow and stuttering and that’s when I noticed her belly. she was pregnant, but as I looked at her I saw a big cut on her hind leg. it was yellow and pus was crusting around the edges. it was definitely infected. so I gently picked her up and walked to my apartment, and the male cat followed me all the way there. he even went inside. Blueberry Pickles and Burrito were in my room and they didn’t like the strange cat cause they were all male so really territorial but once they saw the female they kinda chilled down. I left them in my room and shut the door. I cleaned the wound with water and antibiotic ointment and wrapped it in cotton fiber and gauze. so you must be thinking “oh well you should’ve taken her to the vet” but I have 3 years of vet training and I take care of stray cats all the time. so anyway she gave birth to 5 kittens, 3 male and two female all healthy and they sometimes visit my apartment. I named them Snow, the mother, White Whisker, the father, and I named the three males Snuffy, Little Timmy, Garbanzo Bean. I named the two females Rose and Sunny.

    Are we planning to assassinate somebody? With a car battery? And if you want the car to veer off course, then it’s the brake pedal you’ll want removed. But in newer cars there’s a function that if you take your foot off the gas pedal it’ll just slow down like you’re braking. And there’s this one car that if somebody is having a stroke while they’re driving it’ll go autopilot mode and pull to the curb and call for emergency assistance. I saw it at this automobile convention that I went to last year. The North American International Auto Show in Detroit, up by Huntington Place, I think. It was amazing. Never really been into cars, but I went anyway.

    I hope monkeys take over the world. they at least would have a better chance at forming a agreeable and domestic society that isn’t run by narcissists that are grossly overpaid and have the power to put wealth in the pockets of people down on their luck(*) and who form a unjust hierarchy that classes people by their fortune and therefore prevents some people to afford housing or medical bills, and which the rich people are afraid that they will have to give some money up to pay for simple tasks like repairing roads and constructing buildings. So, naturally, the people that are living paycheck-to-paycheck have to “chip in” and “do their part in this great American economy” while trying to keep financially afloat and survive. Maybe monkeys will see earlier on that this is not the solution. Monkey for president.
