I just heard from the vet. Jack's owners finally called them back... they are from the Equine Center not too far from here, and they did get Jack as a barn cat. But they didn't realize he was declawed when they got him (hmm, don't think he really is but I'm not going to say a word about that) and so he's not a very good barn cat (ha! he's been catching all our moles), so if we want to keep him they're all right with that (damn straight).

I have the owner's name and number and will be calling her to have a chat. Right now this gorgeous, people-loving INDOOR cat is sleeping happily shedding his grey fur all over my light-colored sofa and it doesn't bother me in the least. I am not going to give him back so he can be left outdoors to get riddled with fleas and tapeworms again.

So there.

YAY! Cap'n Jack is AWESOME! And so are YOU! And you get to live together! (because, that's really the arrangement a person and a cat have, right?) Oh man, can't wait to meet Mrrf.

If the Bad Boy of the North -- aka Cap'n Jack -- made it here safely on our road (squish city), he deserves to stay. He definitely picked us to be his caretakers and companions. Last night I was lying on the couch on my side, and you know what he did? He put his front paws and head on my waist and hugged me.

Nuh-uh, no one else gets to keep him.

When are you coming to visit? :)
