I think it’s time for the Fat Jerk to get lolcat’d. I’m afraid I’m not creative enough to pull it off myself, though. Any ideas?

I have been wanting to adopt a pair of cats for some time now. I was hoping for two bonded adults that would entertain each other during the day. As luck would have it, I found a pair the first day I went out to the Tukwila Petsmart, host of PurrfectPals, a non-profit cat shelter. Introducing Praline and Chickory (left to right):

They’re both males, 4 and 3 years old respectively, and they’re enormous, at 17 pounds a piece. Praline is white and orange, and Chickory is nearly solid black, with a tiny tuft of white fur on his chest. They’re quite friendly and cuddly, brushing up against me as they explore the house. They came a long ways to get here — they came from New Orleans, after surviving Hurricane Katrina. I think they must have just finished eating, because although they came running when I popped a can of food, they didn’t stick around to eat.

Hey, more good news. They found the first litterbox, and now boy does it stink. I’ll be setting up a second litterbox after I refill the litter pail tomorrow.
