Holey Moley! Just got off the phone with someone who wanted info on foster cat Chelsea. He wanted to breed her to his own Russian blue tom. Considering that she is spayed, it took all of two seconds to determine that this was not the cat for him. And then a firehose of rapid fire talking. He covered: politics of the city, NM, CA, and federal level; weather; gardening; pets, both present and past; religion; banking; billionaires; love; aging; travel; moving; medicine, both human and animal; people with PhDs; gas vs. electric vs. propane; finding your way around a new city; loaning to friends; and veganism vs. BBQ. I was finally able to recommend a source of Russian blue females - TICA (The International Cat Association). Oh. My. Goodness. I did not mention I have a PhD. Not only could I not get a word in edgewise, but it would leaad to more religion because apparently we are all ignorant atheists. (This was a great shock to me. Why is my name on a church website and who put the duct tape on my Bible?)
Just found out my mortgage is going up, but only by $4.50 a month. Also found out my medical insurance year starts July 1. That means that although I will max out my out of pocket this year, it will start all over again in less than a month. I went through a few home emails while on the phone with the non-adopter.
