I wish "Politician" wasn't even a job that existed, and eventually just becomes an obsolete job like telephone operators

If wishes were horses we'd all be riding ponies.

My father had an idea, he thought it should be mandatory civil service but not just military but government. Just obviously there are a few flaws wirh this methodology. I'm gonna assume they're obvious rather than delve into them but I can if anyone wants.

Or I can tell a story about a cat. I highly recommend this option instead.

Choose your own adventure. Turn to page 175 if you picked "thermonuclear war," turn to page 6 if you pick "story about a cat."

I like cats. Give me the story about the cat.

Good choice. There used to be this really affectionate male cat we called Fink. He really wanted to be an indoor cat again but we already had cats.

One day we come home and we notice our cats are freaking out, hissing and hiding. Turns out Fink just scaled up to the second story to let himself in through the patio. No footholds or nothing, he just used his claws and shimmeed up.

That one day he was just sitting there on the couch, acting like he had every right to be there.

One day we stopped seeing Fink. I hope he found a home.

Great story. Best of luck to Fink.

Better story than mine.

2 days ago one of my new cats pissed on my keyboard. Tonight I lied down to sleep, they came around, had some petting, we're just chilling and drifting and suddenly he's pissing right beside me. What the fuck!!! Not a dream. Not my piss. Definitely that fucking cat.

I'm calling the shelter tomorrow. I don't want to but this will not be tolerated. I'm so pissed I just can't even sleep. Cat piss is the worst.

There could be a medical issue, there's something he's trying to get your attention about. Sick, angry, jealous, or he feels his litter box is unacceptable for whatever reason. I have heard you're supposed to have n+1 litter boxes where n is the number of cats in the household.

There's always a reason. I'm no cat whisperer. I'll give him a week to shape up. 3rd strike, he's going. I have enough problems. Sleep disruption just ruins me.

The first thing I'd suggest is checking that their pee and poop is normal. A lot of problems can be evident if that's not normal. Pay attention to their movements and what they eat. He's trying to get your attention for some reason and they're simple creatures. Imagine your cat is a demonic 4yr old.
