The Horror
I had lunch with Mami, and she told me a little story. My stepfather was speaking to an asian man, and this man said he was looking for a "healthy older cat." My stepfather replied, "I have one of those at my house." Midnight is the most beautiful cat ever. She is ten years old. The day she leaves us, my sister and I will go into deep mourning. The man offered my stepfather $100 for our cat. He replied, "my daughter would kill me" (meaning, my sister Melody). The man said, "well, that's kind of what I want to do." He is looking for an older healthy cat to kill so he can eat it!! My mother told me this as I was kissing my cat goodbye. What?? Some man offered $100 to kill and eat my baby!!! I know that some cultures eat cats and dogs, but thinking about some unknown animal is different than thinking of my bootiful gata who has been a part of our family for ten years. I was disturbed. I crawled under the coffee table and gave her more kisses. I was was so upset, I didn't want to leave her. I just want to hold her tightly. Dito.

Is that even legal?
I'm thoroughly disturbed that your mom would do that, and I don't even like cats.
Seriously, though - $100? That's a good amount of profit, probably. I say consider the deal.
Thankfully there wasn't even a question about actually accepting this man's "offer."
And Timmy, I'm going to ignore your comment - that is not nice!
You can get an awful nice ukulele for $100 though, now that I think about it. And if it helps, you can get them with catgut strings.
That's relatively awesome. If nothing else, the cat's got a new nickname: C-note.
What happened to "Benjamin"?
Oh and I would be careful. I was there when my mom told the story to my sister. She said she would have killed my stepfather, the man who made the offer, and his kids!
I thought "C-note" had more of a ghetto fabulous kind of feel to it. I guess it is all about the Benjamins, though. So either way.
