THEY DO NOT LIVE HERE!

"This Cat?"

"This Cat is not ours"
"This Cat does not really live here..."
"They just visit!"
"Yes!"
"We do open the door for them"
"Yes"
"He does like his own spot to sleep on"
"Yes"
"We do put a cushion on that spot to keep things tidy"
"Yes"
"We feed them"
"Yes,"
"We Did get them their own bowl to save us using the human dishes"
"Yes"
"We did do the same for their water, for common sense hygiene reasons"
"Well, Yes,"
"We did start getting a tiny bit of their own food,"
"We were shopping anyway and the food was kinda just there, so why not?"
"Ok, Yes,"
"They did not like that food so now we get him the slightly nicer special food"
"Well, Of course.."
"They have a few cheap toys!"
"It was the anniversary of when we first met, so I was going to get a tiny present"
"That does not mean anything!"
"Ok, true"
"We did get some vet insurance"
"But only the middle tier, nothing extravagant!
"Yes, but you are not listening to me..."
"They do NOT live here!"
"This is NOT their home!"
"I know, I know, but you don't understand! They are NOT my cat"
"Ok, we will have to agree to disagree like reasonable adults on this subject..."
"I'll catch you next time.."
"You will have to let yourself out... I need to stay here..."
"Why?"
"Because the Cat is on my lap!"
"Don't condescendingly roll your eyes at me!"
"The Cat does NOT live here...!!!"
