The minister's cat is an outdoor cat

[houselikealotus]

Do you all know about the minister's cat game? It's some victorian british parlor game where you sit in a circle of people and fill in the sentence "the minister's cat is...." with adjectives in ascending alphabetical order and you have to go around the circle with the letter and if you miss or repeat you're out

Eh, maybe just lock him in the bedroom next time?

He just needs to get the crap beaten out of him by a neighbor's cat. Nothing serious, but enough of an asswhooping to know he shouldn't go out there.

Theoretically, that's exactly why he's not supposed to go outside. He has an incurable, dormant virus that could become active again and kill him if he undergoes too much stress. Causes of such stress would be things like going hungry for a very long time, hypothermia, getting in a fight with another cat, etc. Vet said, "Don't let him get outside; it might kill him."

Are you serious? What virus is this?

I don't remember, but Rachel's right. I was there holding the stupid assfuzz when the vet said that, at which point I remembered thinking, "That tears it, I'm going on allergy medicine."

I play the Minister's Cat game with myself. It's a GREAT game!
