I don't know where it came from, but all that I would really like to do today is to read a good book while having a cat curled up that I could pet. [ A beat, and the smile is audible in her voice. ] If this is another curse, I do not mind it at all.

Would any of you mind if I were to bring home a cat?

[conesoldstober]

That would depend entirely on where you found it.

[likeboudica]

I didn't find it at all, a friend did. Or it followed him home. [ A beat. ] Why does it matter where it was found?

[conesoldstober]

I'd just rather not get fleas in the furniture.

[Especially now that he can't magic them out /grumblegrumble]

[likeboudica]

Fl— I will make sure that it does not have any. [ She has no idea how, but she'll figure it out. ]

[conesoldstober]

Be sure that you do. Is there some sort of sudden need to adopt new pets on the rise?

[likeboudica]

[ Hesitant. ] Perhaps?

Bring it home! Sophie, I am sure, will like it once she sees it, and if Sophie likes it, then Howl will be forced to like it also.

[likeboudica]

And would you like it? [ Because that's the most important issue, of course. ]

A cat?

not here but saw that;

[mrsnose]

[lol wears the pants apparently.]

[conesoldstober]

Make sure to get some food for it, at least.

[minigolfandsushi]

Doesn't anyone care if I like it?

[minigolfandsushi]

NO! No. Howl, a cat will get its crap everywhere. FUR will be everywhere! Your accessories will become its new favorite toys!

[minigolfandsushi]

I mind.

[conesoldstober]

Keep your door closed if you feel strongly about it.

[minigolfandsushi]

Keep my door closed -- THEY WILL GET INTO YOUR POTIONS. THEY WILL MAKE YOU GINGER.

[conesoldstober]

Bring it up with Tessa, then. She's was the one asking.

[minigolfandsushi]

You really are a heartless bastard, aren't you?

[conesoldstober]

[Not anymore.]

If you say so.

[minigolfandsushi]

[You're going to make your wife cry, asshole.

He flounces off.]

[conesoldstober]

[Don't be like that baby, he didn't mean it.]

[mrsnose]

You know, there is nothing wrong with ginger.

[DON'T MAKE HER MAKE YOU GINGER, RUDE MAN.]

[minigolfandsushi]

I don't have any problem with gingers, but THIS LUNATIC DOES.

[mrsnose]

No, hmm, I don't think that he does. Not anymore, at least.

[Invisible self-pat on the shoulders, insert it here.]

If it does not bite.

[He'd probably like it even if it does bite. What's not to like about small furry animals?]
