I hate this month. Not because anything particularly terrible has happened - there's just something about it that feels heavy, every year.

I won't be sad to see the backside of it, though I know spring's still a bit away.

The only serious decision I'm making this week is whether or not I am finally getting another cat.

I have a white persian named Elsa, now. Most of my furniture is white, as is my carpet, but I'm thinking a black one. Maybe a dark brown tabby.

So.

If I manage to bite the bullet without making thirty three spread sheets:

Which color and what names should go into the possibility pool?

Spreadsheets for cats? Is this something you do often, Ben?

[neverjedi]

Every time I've gotten a cat.

Which is twice.

You've got me curious. What sort of stuff does one even put on a cat spreadsheet? Color? Wet food versus dry? After that I don't get much.

[neverjedi]

Color. Gender. Name potential. Pros and cons to each color and gender combination. Pros and cons to a second cat at all.

You really go pretty deep into this, don't you. [it only serves to make her a little more fond of him, honestly. it's so needlessly complicated to her, but so important to him. she loves finding differences in her friends.]

Is this where someone's supposed to say you excel at pet planning?

[neverjedi]

...you're going to do well with Bail.

The pun's a dead give away.

[seawalled]

Do you consider that a good thing or a bad thing, Ben?

[neverjedi]

I consider it a thing that means we're friends now.

That doesn't mean the pun isn't awful.

[seawalled]

Well, I'll take that, definitely. Especially since it means I probably get kitten visiting rights as a friend.

Is there any sort of cat you haven't had before that you always wanted?

[neverjedi]

I've only ever owned a persian. That leaves a lot of room open.

Maybe a shorthair, then? Less fur to clean up after...
