Ovaries

So don't have the slightest twinge of interest in babies. Never have. I know girls who get that in-your-ovaries longing whenever they see one, but that's not me. Babies make me think of sleepless nights and smelly diapers and screaming screaming screaming.

However.

Whenever somebody tells me how much she wants one, I always say I understand the feeling. Because y'all, I am dying for a cat.

Made the mistake of browsing the local cat adoption center's website today and it was all I could do not to leave the office and immediately drive over and take one home. Or two. Seriously, this is way beyond 'oh, it would be nice to have a cat.' This is an irrational major brain-addled-by-hormones WANT. Normally I don't let myself look at the listings because it almost makes me sick that I can't have one right now.

I love cats, all animals really, and I live in a house where pets aren't allowed, am about to move to another house that already has animals, and then will move just 3 months later to a 6-month house-sitting gig where I definitely can't have a pet. So we're looking at nearly a year before this could happen.

Egads.

I want a cat.
