Rant: Cat overload

[ThatGuy]

So, on Wednesday I'll be heading home for Thanksgiving break. I'm excited to see my family, eat some good food and watch some football and basketball. My oldest brother, his fiancé and the fiancé's parents will be in town - it should be a good time.

The problem? My house is going to be swarming with cats. We've got two of our own, and they're great. Over the last few months, however, my mom has slowly been grooming a stray cat that we "met" earlier this year to be an indoor cat. We call him William, and he's an absolute terrorist - in constant need of attention, already thinks he owns the house, etc. In addition to that, both my brother and his fiancé have cats of their own, and they will be making the trip as well. The brother's cat stayed with us over the summer, so he should be okay, but four of the five cats present will be male. I feel bad for the lone female, but I'm also anticipating some serious territory issues - three of the four males pretty much feel like we are "their" people living in "their" house.

This could be ugly.

that sucks

I'm meeting my parents in Chicago for thanksgiving where we have family and other family is flying in. I really wanted to play with their puppy, and other family really wanted them to bring the puppy too, but our family that's flying in from Colorado that has completely cut all of us off for like 5 years now hates dogs, so my parents are putting the puppy in a pet hotel for the break instead. Who the hell hates dogs???

I worked with a lady that was terrified of cats. She could probably handle a grizzly bear walking into her house, but no way could she handle a cat. One time she pulled into her driveway and her neighbor's cat was sitting there. She refused to get out of her car and had to call her son to come over and move the cat away from their yard.

Better than the 3 or 4 large dogs that my Aunts/Uncles/Cousins bring around Christmas.

People take their cats with them on trips? WTF? That's the point of having a cat. Fill the food and water bowls and clean the crap box and you can leave for 4 days no problem.
