Since we are as yet unfit for children but looking for a bit more responsibility than my cacti require, we've decided to adopt a cat. Here's the description of the cat that the gentleman from the adopt-a-bengal agency initially recommended:
Mali - 5-6 yr old, BST, female, altered. Growls at all other animals, will chase and fight with those that she sees as passives. Talks a lot. Hides for up to 4 months when introduced to a new home. We would recommend you keep her isolated for at least a week.
This man should not be in sales. I told him that Mali might be more cat than we can handle, and he seemed genuinely confused.
At least my cactus continues to flourish, brazenly and out-of-season:

I'm a florist, and as such I make it a point of personal pride to not laugh or even smile for a full week before AND after Valentine's Day. However, this year I found your blog on the 12th and you have consistently made me smile or laugh every day since then.
Good job - you're definitely giving me happy.
And yes, Mali sounds like a bit more cat than anyone could handle (including my mother, who regularly feeds feral strays and even raccoons).
OH MY...I agree, I am not so sure that Mali would be such a good addition to the family..
so basically your cat would be able to beat up our dog...?
I like "altered." It sounds very sinister. "Mali was once a tortoise, but she was altered."
Get a bunny. A house bunny. You can adopt them! More fun than a cat!
Thank you for your sweet words of encouragement yesterday. You really cheered me up.
also 'hides for up to 4 months when introduced to a new home'... so reading between the lines it seems as though lots of people have adopted her and after 4 months she tends to emerges from seclusion in order to attack her new owners...?
Seems like maybe they should just let ole Mali sip the blue cocktail. Just sayin?
