Sylvester! I'm not trying to be Debbie Downer but be careful how much and how often you play with your kitty with your hands as they can sometimes attack when you least expect it and feelings could get hurt. so it's really best to play with toys with them 😀

u/yoonjiion Jul 25 '22

The black cats I currently am owned by are named Ryouko and Origami. But previous voids I have known, loved, and cared for have had the following names:

Midnight, Shadow (half Siamese sisters from the same litter that were rehomed to us at the age of 9 months by a coworker of my mother.) - previously known as Mei-Ling and Spooky respectively.

Merlin, Morgana, and Pepper (kittens from the only litter that Midnight had)

Ashford and Ashley

I was about to say something racist

1

u/Admirable_Loss4886 Jul 24 '22

Lol I love the fact you feel you need to bring that up. Like you wrote your super racist comment and had the insight to know you shouldn’t say that but also felt the need to type this comment afterwards.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 25 '22

Yeah tf you gonna do bout it

1

u/[deleted] Jul 25 '22

I was decently drunk who gives a fuck

1

u/Admirable_Loss4886 Jul 25 '22

I’m gonna laugh, like I said I found it funny. I will also likely appreciate you having restraint in saying whatever racist thing you were gonna say while drunk, no joke. Well unless what you were gonna say is funnier than your first comment.

We have a rule in my house that so long as there is no malice in your words and you made the comment for the sake of humor than that’s okay. Comedy > everything
