I've been sick for the last two days. I'm on Zithromax, and I feel like I'm getting over my latest round of URI craziness. Better than UTI, I guess. Ick.
So: I come home from work early to rest up for today (I'm the only one in my office today, due to a confluence of Jewish holidays and college classes), and the kids say "Daddy, we have a surprise for you in the TV room."
I'm thinking: Maggie bought a piece of electronics?
Ha ha. No.
Astrid is a very good looking, friendly, 4-month-old kitten who was dropped off at the local shelter when the people who originally had her moved overseas. (Gotta be honest, though, that story strikes me as somewhat bullshitty. Bullshitty? Is that a word?)
She's adventurous, not at all scared of the dogs, and doesn't seem to mind that one of the other cats appears to be stalking her. She wheezes a bit, and we don't know why. We do know it's not from any horribly contagious kitty diseases, though: she's been checked.
For those of you keeping count, that's a total of 10 animals in my house: 5 humans, 2 dogs, and 3 cats. Gender-wise we've got 7 girls, 3 boys. Oh, lord. The ratio has tipped past 2:1.
Pictures, of course, are forthcoming.
Love to all. Even you, the losers on NYC 92.3 fm who bleeped the word "pussy" off the air, even though it referred to a cat.

The old 'owners moved overseas' story does indeed sound very bullshitty (and if that is not a word it should be!)
I agree with callisto. If its not a word, it should be.
If you ever want to go with a noun as opposed to "bullshitty" adjective route, may I also recommend "bullshitness". Its come in quite handy for me more than once.
This sounds like the study of bullshitification, otherwise known as bullshitology.
amazing! You really do have a ZOO!
