Given how long we went without it last month, I can't imagine any of us will find ourselves tired of it anytime soon.

[This is probably a lie she doesn't realize she's telling because let's be real, Carmen's capacity to sit still caps out at like 48 hours maximum.]

And did hers prove to end up all right, in the end? I would so like to have confirmation of a happy ending to this story.

[ Enjoy your 48 hours of chill at least, Carmen.... ]

an excellent question! i'll check in with her sometime and see.
she told me he has quite a few ways of getting food, and she has a roommate as well, so provided that that roommate was also not part of any of the groups then i believe he should've turned out just fine.

So all's well that ends well, at least as far as our feline friends are concerned. I'm glad to hear it.

i as well.
despite my allergies, i adore cats... they're very calming and warm, and i feel as though i have much in common with them.
do you ever feel that way?

I like animals generally, actually. I know some people identify as a "cat person" or a "dog person", but I've never been one to play favorites.

have you ever wondered why it's only ever those two? there are dozens of other types of pets that are just as popular nowadays such as birds and rodents, after all.

The duality of man. People tend to like binary choices over varieties of options — it makes them easier to judge and to rationalize.

i see.
i suppose, going by stereotypes, a cat person would be more comfortable indoors and is perhaps an introvert, content to have an animal that will sit on their lap as they read or peruse the internet... and a dog person would be more athletic, energetic, and happiest when they're outdoors with other people.

the tricky part of that is is that people are so rarely their stereotypes, aren't they.
