How many people in this damn City like cats?

Got scratched across the face pretty good, so yeah, pretty much.

[whitetwoguns]

Bad luck there. Was it a real cat or one of your friends got screwed over by the curse?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Real cat. I was the one who got screwed over. I think the other cat got all... territorial or whatever.

[whitetwoguns]

See? At least with dogs they got a problem and they'd let you know it. There's a big long growl and then bad business if it doesn't work out from there.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Don't know why I never saw it before. I'm convinced now. Team dogs.

[whitetwoguns]

You're young. You had time to learn.

[There's no particular reason for him to be grinning, but he is.]

Yup! I'm young.

[whitetwoguns]

....Right. Right. Hopefully you won't have any cats around to worry about.

[Why. So. Smiley.]

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Nah, I still totally have to deal with my roommate's cat. That's the one that attacked me.

[whitetwoguns]

Any chance he'd get a different pet? Who is to say it won't strike again?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Good point. I dunno... maybe. He's like, weirdly attached to it though. He carries it around. And he named it after me.

[whitetwoguns]

Named it after you?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Uh... yeah. I mean, that was before I got here, but... yeah. He says it reminded him of me. But I don't attack people.

[A beat.]

Not that I couldn't. I totally could, if I wanted to.

[whitetwoguns]

How does he tell you apart? I mean, if the cat's acting up and he's yellin' at it...

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

I'm Neil, and he calls the cat Little Neil. It's not a super-advanced system or anything, but it's, like, whatever.

[whitetwoguns]

Oh. Howdy, Neil.

I hope the cat quits acting up.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Me too. Uh, thanks.
