The List

I plan to have cats in my life forever.  I would like to bring more into the house RIGHT NOW, but alas, The Hubby is not swayed.  With Chuck's health issues, and both Chuck and Angel being over thirteen years old, plus the outside cats...well, the man just cannot envision it.  I CAN, and I keep a small notebook on the table, where I write down any name that pops up that could be a great cat name someday.  Of course, every cat is an individual, and sometimes their 'real' name just appears in one's head when you first meet.  So this list is simply a starting point, and I hope to begin using it in the future.

To be fair, The Hubby is in charge of pilling the cats, clipping nails, washing all cat dishes, and wrangling them into PTUs for vet transport, while I have the 'easy' jobs of feeding them, keeping up the stock of food and medicines/vitamins, ALL veterinary appointments, all litter box maintenance, and keeping the house supplied with cardboard boxes, cat beds, scratchers, toys, etc.  In addition, I go outside in fair or foul weather, to make sure The 'O' Cats are doing okay.  But he is home all day, as a retired person, while I flit off five days a week to work in the coal mines.  So, according to him, he LIVES with the cats more than I do.  (I also clean up more hairballs and spit-ups than he does, but he won't admit to that...shhhh, don't tell him that I told you!)
