[ So Mary is seven. And while she's smart, she doesn't quite realize this network is private. Or that a message board is... a message board. Sorry network.]

I'm counting on it.
How else would I talk myself into getting a cat, if not through an enthusiastic recommendation from an experienced cat owner?

[adnauseam]

[trybelieving]

I'd say I have a better shot at stopping at one than you did.
I suspect the young artist might have influenced you a little.

[adnauseam]

Well, she has a way of doing that.

[ Not that he can remember those kinds of details too well right now, but the deductive reasoning follows: he loves Mary, who is a cat person. He's not a cat person. Therefore, Mary's undoubtedly the reason they have three cats. ]

Not sure that makes you safe, though.

[trybelieving]

As she should.

I may have to risk it. After all, there are worse things in life than rescuing multiple cats.

Honestly, I think that's how I came by them. Can't even claim it happened one at a time.

[trybelieving]

It seems like it all worked out for the best. You have a lovely family.

[adnauseam]

Thank you.

[ Not an easy compliment to take, with these memories threatening to come back, but still easier to just say thank you and move on. ]
