My week started off with my roommate notifying me she was leaving for Vegas In an hour and wouldn't be back for a week and that I needed to take care of her 5 cats. I gave her 20 to lose for me. She left the house a pig sty, sink full of dishes, stove covered in food and dirty pans and 3 full litter boxes. She picked up two feral cats about 2 months ago and they have just tore up everything. Now the male cat Is starting to mark his territory, What a stink. Wednesday, she texts me and said I won $100, ten minutes later she texts me and says she meant $150. She said it was the first bet she made when she arrived and it paid 36 to 1 odds. correct me if I'm wrong but, $20 dollars at 36 to 1 odds is $720 not $150. oh well.
Then On Thursday I was at work and plugged my phone into it's charger, took a box downstairs turn right around came back up and my phone was stolen. Someone actually walked to the back kitchen into the server station and stole my phone in less then 2 minutes. I called the tracking company for my phone and they said, sorry our system is down and we can't help you. What the hell have I been paying them for?
I calm down, work my shift and go home. subway took two hours longer, because some ass decided to kill himself on the tracks earlier in the day. Finally, make it home, unlock the door and step into a puddle of piss. I mop and deodorize everything , walk into the dining room and flip on the lights and my roommates favorite 20# cat is lying on the floor on it's back staring at me, waiting for me to scratch her belly, so that she can scratch the hell out of me. I notice that she is laying in a puddle of piss. I reach down to scratch her and she is dead to the world. She is still warm and soft, apparently she flopped onto the floor to spring her trap, had a heart attack and died instantly when I walked through the door. I grab the cat, toss her into the basement because, that's the coolest spot, mop the floor, go get me some Chinese food.
I can't call the roommate because, my phone is stolen and she is in Vegas. 3am , I go digging through her garage and find a shovel, dig a grave in the back yard and dump the cat in and bury it. Halfway through this procedure it proceeds to pour rain. The neighbors are having a birthday party or something and see me burying something in the backyard and call the cops. 4am the cops show up want to know what's going on. I tell them whats what and they start laughing and telling me I'm screwed . 7am head back to work to pick up my new cell phone, 8 am have chest discomfort, head to hospital across the street, have a mild heart attack. Heparin drip 4 hours. Release me 6:45 am The next day, Call roommate 10pm Monday night to tell here about the cat, she is at the airport heading back, first words out of her mouth were, why did you murder my cat! She got back at 7am tuesday morning and I haven't heard from her since.
On the plus side Tuesday afternoon was spent at Korin.
 
You live with 5 cats, son? Holy hell that would drive me crazy. And chinese food after the dead cat is pretty funny. But it sounds like a very ****** day. Glad you are alright after the mild heart attack, that is some scary stuff. Sounds like you need some good R&R. Take it easy man and think about the upside. One less cat lol. And hopefully you get your money from her and she didn't gamble it away. Glad Korin was a good time :)
 
Sounds like something from a novel. Tho' I don't think many people could make that up. Geez, which gods did you piss off? Just don't, for any reason say....Well, things could be worse. <g>

and I hate cats! They all love me though, I think they know. My personal room in the attic is a cat free zone. I only ever sit at the kitchen table to use the computer and never sit in the living room. She is half way to being that lady with the cats. She is a friend of mine but, I gotta get out .

she is the owner and this is all a relatively new thing. She is going through something and I'm already looking for a way out. no worries there. This cat pissing thing is something that just happened, I think it was the cat who died letting me know she was stressed about something and the new male taking the oppurtunity to mark his space. The plus side is I just talked to the roommate 5 minutes ago and she is getting rid of the two feral cats and giving one of the other cats to her sister, so we will be down to one. Now I just have to figure out how to get rid of that one.lol
 
You have my deepest sympathy, Son. BTW, I am making good progress on the bone handled jobbies, they are goin to be dandy, I think!
 
Dude..you gotta write a memoir of your life's stories,you can't make @hit like that up!! Hope the rest of the week goes better for ya.. :)
 
Kitty killer karma will get you every time!!!

Hax the Cook CLEAVERS RULE!!! :D
 
My girlfriend spent three days in the hospital after a cat bite...her cat, last week. Somewhere, the healthcare system paid $16,000 on behalf of this cat. The cat is gone.

Son, I think you need to simplify and move to the suburbs away from the stress of nyc. A nice job where you saunter in whenever you like, chop a few things, and boss some people around. I hope you bought yourself a little present at Korin.

Maybe it's time to move back to Sconnie - but then the culinary choices here would probably put you back in the hospital so maybe that's not the best idea.

I think you should move back to Oregon, get a green card and become a farmer.
 
or come to charlotte open a place let me and knerd run it and relax in the suburbs, or just make the best of what is given and just laugh at it all honestly (except the heart attack part). you have had some crazy stories and events in life.
 
Wow, Son! That's hectic.

Glad to hear you got the chest pain immediately checked out, and that you're alright. Wishing for the best!

I'd open a place, but I'm flat broke. you guys can run it, I'll go fishing.
 
I love cats,
But I can't eat a whole one by myself.

Wishin things get better for you, Son.
 
Depends on the size of the cat...............
 
The day may come, for whatever reason - rioting, pestilence, famine, or just plain curiosity - you will need to eat a cat. Your very survival may depend on this handy guide.
PREPARING YOUR CAT FOR CONSUMPTION
Since cat meat isn't commercially available in the United States (and illegal to boot), you'll probably have to prepare cat yourself. If you live in the more enlightened domains of East Asia, and can purchase cat at the local market, you may want to skip this step and proceed to COOKING YOUR CAT.

First, get a large cutting board and lay out your cat. Lop off the head, the tail and the feet with a sharp butcher's knife. These parts of the cat contain little usable meat, so toss them aside.

Next, make a longitudinal incision on the cat's abdomen. Reach your hand (wear gloves!) into the body cavity, and remove all of the internal organs. Discard them- especially the liver. It may look tasty, but the liver of a felis domesticus is frequently too toxic for human consumption.

SKINNING YOUR CAT
There’s more than one way to skin a cat- our exhaustive research uncovered two. On this site, two High School students meticulously guide you step-by-step through skinning a cat - complete with diagrams. To summarize, use a sharp knife to trim off the skin, and pull it back, snipping away at the muscle tissue.

Gourmands like to skin their cats differently. They hate shun using a skining knife, calling it crude. They reccomend you grab the loose skin around the head stump, and using a pair of pliers, peel it back off the carcass like a banana, rolling it off the body. The final step before cooking is to wash the meat of stray gristle and hairs. Nobody likes cat hair in their food.

COOKING YOUR CAT
Now you are ready to cook! One USENET account recommends placing a cat in a very high powered magnetron microwave. This device supposedly can cook a cat in approximately 10 minutes- the proteins are denatured (cooked), and sugars caramelized by microwave heating. The cat may be "cooked" but will it taste good? If you've ever tried to microwave a raw hamburger, you'll know the answer is "no." For the best taste, our reader inquired about possibly slow cooking a feline. That's exactly what we at PWEETA recommend- a slow cooked Beer Roasted Cat. Other cat recipes you may enjoy are classic Cat Tamales, Cat in Spicy Ginger Sauce, and Cat Au Gratin.

BEER ROASTED CAT
1 cat cut into roast
1 can of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup
1 cube of beef bouillon
1 clove of garlic
1 Fine Irish Stout, a lot like a popular dark Irish Beer®, but NOT that brand at their lawyers' request. They alledge this article, educating others in the legal eating habits of over 100 million people world-wide, and specifically in rising East Asian markets, is "highly offensive."

Cover and soak cat roast in salt water for 24 hours. Drain water and then cover and soak in beer for 6 hours. Drain and place in crock pot with your cans of soup. Add a clove of garlic, and a cube of beef bouillon. If you start to slow cook your cat in the morning with your George Foreman Cooker (or it's ilk), you'll have finely cooked feline in time for supper.

If a slow cooker is not available, a cat can be baked at 350 degrees for 2-3 hours in a conventional oven and still come out pretty good. Beer Roasted Cat is fantastic served with mashed potatoes, collard greens, and fresh, homemade egg rolls. When planning a full meal just remember- cat is a course best served hot!

Cat may not be the most glamorous, or tastiest of game meats, but with a little thought and preparation, Baked Cat can make the belly of the persnicketiest diner glow with home baked goodness.


I personally have not tried this recipe, but I do read it to my Siamese from time to time.

Hax the Cook CLEAVERS RULE!!! :D
 
Wouldn't you have killed the cat the was pissing all over the place first?
I hate to say it, but me and several others laughed heartily at your story today Son. You always weave a great tale.
I guess it's kinda funny how life takes a giant dump on you sometimes.........
........the most unfunny part was your heart attack, I hope your overall health improves Son.


didn't they make musical instrument strings out of cat's gut back in the day?
 
One should never waste the head. There is good meat there, especially the cheeks!
