“Hi, H? This is Joel.”
“Hi! How’s the kitten?”
“I’m afraid the kitten’s not going to work out. She’s a he.”
“Oh, no. Really?”
“Pretty sure, yeah. Well hung, too. Also psychotically antisocial. You ever had a 120-pound* dog climb into your lap, because he’s afraid of a kitten?”
“Can’t say I have.”
“That part we can probably get over, but the cat is always going to be male. Can’t use a male cat, may as well eat him myself as feed him to the owls and the coyotes.”
“Geez, sorry. I don’t know how to sex kittens, I just took their word it was a girl. I’m going back to town, can you bring him over?”
“On my way.”
Private to Landlady: Allow me to reconsider my reply to your earlier message. Operation Obtain Kitten is back on.
