The moment that Heidi mentioned getting a cat, in early October, I made sure to be affirming in that desire. We’ve been through this before and she would come to her senses about all the upkeep, and food, and upkeep, and more food.

Then she mentioned that the cats she wanted were actually sisters. It was then that I began to realize that this was no fleeting desire on her part. There were two cats that were indeed sisters that were in need of a good home and … well, apparently, we are the ones with the “good home.”

I think those words are used loosely among those trying to find any home for cats. There was no Cat Placement Agency to come by the house to make sure we have enough fire extinguishers, or … running water. They just said that if it didn’t work out in two months time, we could take the cats back.

That’s why I said “yes.” After all, if they didn’t work out, we could take them back. No problem… give it a whirl.

Give it a whirl? Who was I kidding.

Allow me to introduce to you: Pericope and Synecdoche.

OUR cats!!!
