Today is a sad day....hahaha, not really! It's Demon's going away day. Yes, finally did find person to take the little kitten off my hands before she causes anymore destruction. It took long enough to do, but there's this person across town who specializes in rehabilitating destructive cats. Demon is really young, not sure she needs to hit up kitty rehab just yet, but whatever. As long as she's out of my house, I don't care.
I have to say, I can't wait for Demon to be out of here. I'm gonna bring all my cashmere sweaters out of storage (I had to hide them because Demon seems to love ripping up cashmere) and move my furniture from against the wall, etc. My life will be normal again, at last! And since it's getting back to normal I figure I should try and get a regular job again. It's my dream to start my own company, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to. I've always heard that it's difficult finding people to staff your startup and, as stupid as it sounds, I'm kind of afraid of failing. I know that fear of failure just guarantees that you'll always fail or never get started or whatever, but still. It's rather paralyzing. In any case, maybe Demon's exit from my life will give some time and money (yeah she cost TONS) to think more seriously about what I'm going to do in the future.
It's been another long month for me, the cat lady. Yeah, my friend Sue has begun calling me the cat lady even though I only have two cats right now. And maybe not for much longer. Demon is still living up to her name. She's secretly been scratching the back of my antique love seat when I'm not home; I just noticed it today. I was so pissed off. My mother gave me that chair before she died! How dare Demon mess with my inheritance! But I don't feel too mad about it because the other thing my mom left me was a book on how to stop being fat. Gee thanks, Mom. I think that sums everything up with that line of thought.
But in any case, Demon's gotta go. She's been eating Mittens' kibble and just generally being a bad cat. I'd have to be a pretty good people finder to find anybody who'd want her. Luckily, I am! Ha. I'm just afraid of doing the work. A successful person search is a lot harder than you'd think it would be and Demon is a very bad kitty. I'm going to have to get one of my writer friends to make up some sparkling ad that makes Demon sound like she's actually going to be a good pet. Suckers...
I shouldn't talk like that. No! Demon is great kitty! Please! Somebody get her, I mean, adopt her, out my house RIGHT NOW!
It's been a hectic month here at casa de kitties. I love Mittens, but keep forgetting that Demon has come back and I need to take care of her too. It's terrible to say but why couldn't Demon just stay away? She obviously doesn't want to be my cat and I return that feeling. Oh well, I really need to put her up for adoption and give her to people that will love her and give her lots of attention. Since I'm always finding people on the Internet, I think I'll just use it to look for people to keep Demon. Maybe I should change her name before I do that though.
Actually I don't think I told you how Demon ended up coming back. She didn't just show up, like Demon would willingly live in my house. What happened was these people across town found her, used an address search to find my house, and dumped her on my step when I wasn't home. Nice! I should have never given Demon tags to wear.
To make some extra money I think I'm going to apply to be on Jeopardy. You know how much money you can win on those quiz shows? Who was that guy that one, like, a million dollars a few years ago? I want to be like him so I need to hit the books. Here's an online guide telling you how to study to be on Jeopardy. I think I'll take a look right now.
What an amazing time. Have mentioned yet today how much I am in LOVE with Mittens? Seriously, I think I need a support group or something. It's not even funny how enraptured I am with this little cat. Alas... I'm beginning to think it's just part of my personality to get so super duper into things/animals/people/everything. Take people search engines for example. I just can't get enough of using them to find people. Plus you all know how much I talk about it! SPEAKING of which! One of my friends I recently helped find their high school sweetheart is now getting ready to move across the country so they can be together. Isn't that cool? I think it's pretty niftY
";kljadlkahahgaaaaaaaa" <-- that's courtesy of the cat, by the way! Haha. She just jumped up here and decided to give this blogging thing a shot herself. Not much better than my first post... I must say. :)
Umm... oh yeah, so my friend is moving and doesn't have any time to find a mover, so I'm helping with that too! So far I have checked out all the companies mentioned in this article: Companies That Move So You Don't Have To. I think I'm going to check out a few more too. Ok. I've got to go feed kitty now (I think that's why she's jumping up here. I've also gotta go take my vitamins. I bought these vitamins the other day just because I like the name so much. Are you ready for this? They are called: Damage Control Master Formula. Nice, eh?
I had to come back! I just gave Mittens real tuna for the first time and she's FREAKING out! I wish I had a video camera!
Ok, I know the kitten talk is severely getting out of control, but she is just so adorable! And she is growing so fast! I just want to keep her in a little box so that she doesn't grow at all...ok, admittedly, that creepy! But I can't help it! I have taken like 5 rolls of film of her and posted them all over the house. I think this is how people feel when they have kids. I mean, I know it must be somewhat different, but not totally. Anyways, besides taking mucho pictures of the kitty kat, I have been trying to find people all over the country. It's so easy to find a person these days, so it's like, why not? Right? Sometimes I even find people for my friends who don't have the time. They mostly don't even know about finding public records using the computer. I'm trying to teach them, but mostly, they just convince me to just do it for them. Ok i have to go feed the kitty! Bye for now!
]]>I am so happy with Mittens. She has grown so much in just a couple months! I wish she'd stay tiny forever, but I know she won't. I am so ridiculous, I have her a Valentine's Day present yesterday. I bought her a new collar with hearts on it and I dyed her wet food pink! I know! I am totally turning into someone I hate. But I have some weird news. Demon came back this morning, which is why I am writing today. It was weird. I heard meowing this morning, but Mittens was asleep on my bed. I went to the back door and demon was there. As soon as I opened the door he ran into the house and under the couch. I mean, I was glad to see him, but it was weird. Now I have to deal with the two cats getting along. Poor mittens just wants to play and Demon will have none of it. Sigh. Well here are some cool sites I found last week. I gotta figure out what to do with these cats!

So, I kinda gave up hope that Demon was coming back to me. I hope that she is not dead somewhere, and that maybe even a nicer family picked her up. So, as a New Year's present to myself, I went down to the animal shelter and picked out a new kitten. She is so adorable! I wanted to take the whole litter, but I couldn't. I picked a calico and named her Mittens because she has little white feet in the front. She is the biggest sweetheart! I mean, I loved Demon, but Mittens is soooo cute. I've only had her for a week and she already sleeps with me all curled up by my head. And now when I find people online Mitten just sits quietly beside me. Demon used to walk all over the keyboard when I would do a person search, and it was so annoying because the wrong people got searched! Good thing getting a new cat was one of my top new years resolutions!
]]>Demon has been gone for a few weeks now, and I still feel a certain sense of loss. I was surprised how quickly I readjusted to life without her. Don't get me wrong, there were still a couple of days of panic. My muscles were tense, I would flinch for no reason, I woke up in cold sweats once or twice. But I guess I'm spending more time trying to make friends with real people. Like I found a kindred spirit here on Vox who shares my passion for people search. I wish I had a sandwich. I'm not sure why that occurred to me or why I wrote it down. Sometimes I wonder if I'm becoming more self-involved, because I no longer have a pet. Like just now, maybe I'd be concerned about more important things if I still had that cat to look after--or worry about surviving. Oh well, back to more people search.
]]>It's true, my house has been exorcised. Demon has left my home. She ran away a week ago, and I haven't seen her since. I don't know how she is going to fare without claws, but something tells me that she will find a way. She is, after a little Demon. I am sad, but not that sad. That cat was literally a terror and a half. She was super demanding and not friendly. When she wasn't clawing at me or the furniture, she was hissing at me or hiding under my bed. I guess she must have felt the same way about me. It's ok, I'm going to lay off the pets for a while. Now I have more time do what I like to do, like search people online. Dorky, I know, but it's less pathetic than chasing a cat all over the place. Besides I know plenty of people search, which is probably the main reason I know them, but still. I like people who share the same interests as me, and those friends are not hard to find. Just go check out FindAnyoneNow.net- Finding People Like You, and you will find out which social sites are good for that. Anyways, I gotta go throw out Demon's things. I feel like I am going through a break-up, only I'm not sad.
