I'm Told We Need a Cat, or Two


            My husband is allergic to cats. My youngest twin loves cats. We do not have a cat but Drew would like to change that. He is usually very thoughtful in his commentary about cats and why we should get one and what that one, or two, should look like.

            We were house hunting a few weeks ago and Drew started talking about cats. Just out of the blue, no agenda or expectations, just talking. He mentioned that kittens that are white and orange striped are his favorite and that he would take very good care of that kitten, when he gets it. He would feed it and play with it and love it, when we get it. Then a thought came to him, again, out of the blue and totally hypothetical. He would not want his kitten to be lonely so we would need to get two kittens that are orange and white striped so that they would have a friend besides him. He kept talking and easing his way toward this being more than a conversation of suppositions. He then asked us if we would be getting this kitten, sorry, these kittens before we moved or after. Either was fine with him but if we got them before we moved we’d have to make arrangements to move them with us and that would also be fine.

            I can’t help but love it when he tries to manipulate us like this because it is really cute the way he tries to push his agenda. He’s going to either sell millions of cars or be a defense attorney.
