Yeah I vaguely like a distant waft of skunk. Directly-skunked dog is like chemical warfare. My dog got skunked the morning I was getting sick with COVID, it sucked. At least COVID could have done the decent thing and taken my sense of smell, but no.
Dish detergent and baking soda worked very well.
My meet & greets take at least an hour, although most have lasted longer (probably average 90 minutes to 2 hours).
The fuck would I have to talk to a cat foster parent for 2 hours about? christ.
That’s to adopt a cat? Jeez. I think if you go to the humane society here they’ll let you leave with an many cats as you want.

Yeah, some of these rescues can be weirdly selective and secretive. First cat we tried to get was being adopted out by an organization at a Petco event. Filled out the application, stable job/income, we’d been together 6-7 years, had a cat already in our home (albeit it was a roommate’s), were pointed to ones who would do well with that situation, and filled out an application as we were discussing next steps about pick up or delivery of the cat. Get an email the next day “Sorry your application was not approved.” No reason given in the email, nor upon me following up.
Maybe it was a blessing in disguise because we ended up going to the city pound after that and got the best cat ever.
hype!!! adopting?
Super cute! Congrats. That must be a blast.
I feel bad for our now solo cat who lost his companion, and kinda want him to have a companion, but I’m selfishly afraid that the next cat won’t be nearly as awesome and amazing as the greatest-cat-ever that we lost.
good move man. black cats are little treasures. had so many now. i dunno what it is about them, most of them are just standard american shorthairs but they always seem to have really unique and funny personalities.
Can’t wait to get to know them. Endless energy then they crash. Hilarious the stuff they don’t know or discover in just a few hours. And they’re so awkward, so many faceplant pounces, bad attempts at pull ups, everything is fascinating except us for some reason but they’re slowly coming around.
Going to take ~10,000 pictures of black (yes, we’re stuck on names -_-) until it can replace my avatar.
T’Challa nominated as a name. ?
One of the great things about young pets is that you get to be there when they learn things. For example, today black learned to not jump on the lid of the toilet when I’m standing in front of it.
I’ve never had cats that would just cuddle like that. Jealous.
