Scenes from a Reunion: Charlie, Don't Look

The Child was so beautifully behaved during the reunion that I could hardly contain my pride. There was only one time we remotely edged into argument and that was over these:



She really, really, really, really, really, really wanted to bring home a new kitty.

They were very sweet kitties and I was tempted but the turf in our house is already solidly claimed by The Cat and The Dog. It wouldn't have been fair.




My sister kept stoking the fires (evil woman) by saying that she'd be forced to put the kitties in a box and give them away outside of Walmart. I intervened, giving her the address of a cat loving Scotsman who I know will give them a very happy home. Sweet kitties.

This is their mother, Paul Anka:














She's moving to Scotland, too.

Charlie, I told you not to look! This is proof that you are as unregenerate as ever. Well, it won't work, Mister! Those kitties will be better off in front of Walmart. Better to go home with Ugly Americans than be forced to eat haggis and herd sheep in Scotland. (That's what you were going to do to them, right?)

Here I was all ready to pay for freight... but sheesh... a firing squad would probably be more humane.

Ok, confession time. I don’t want to be hauled into the Humane Society Court for aiding and abetting… Last time I saw Charlie on the web cam… he was smacking his lips, picking his wallies with a toothpick and rubbing his belly with a look of great satisfaction… This isn’t unusual other than… he was singing the Meow Mix commercial jingle… You know the one… Meow Meow Meow Meow…etc.

The mother is named Paul Anka? I bow to the greatness that is your family.

Amy, Please stop by Shelton, Washington on your way to Glasgow. Pick up all remaining kitties and let them piss all over Charlie's new guest flat.

JP, Yeah. They are big fat copyCATS but when you are copying "Gilmore girls" it is all to the good.

Molly, Where are the kitties? And is One Eyed Jack okay?

Don't worry. We found them... and one clawed my arm of because I had to dig through the wood pile to save him. He didn't really feel like being saved. Jack is fine. The ones lost were the ones that hate people. And I had to bathe them all today.. oh wasn't that fun! I smelled like wet cat thanks to Paul Anka. She decided to jump on my after I rinsed her off! Still, I feel bad for getting her wet...

So, I guess Charlie stands wrongly accused after all... EH, that's ok... I'm sure he's guilty of something... pilfering lattes, provoking Neds, provoking lawyers or some other such mischief.
