Victor: I’m afraid to even ask this, but why do you have a reminder on the calendar to “set up an apartment for the cat“?
me: What? That doesn’t sound like something I’d do.
Victor: Actually, it sounds exactly like something you’d do.
me: Why would I set the cat up with an apartment? That’s ridiculous. Frankly, it sounds more like something the cat would do.
Victor: The cat is amazingly good at faking your handwriting.
me: That’s what you get for buying a cat with opposable thumbs. Honestly, I have no memory of writing that. Why would I even write that?
Victor: Why do you do any of the things you do?
me: That’s so weird. I feel like I’m letting the cat down, and I don’t even know why.
**Ten minutes later**
me: OH MY GOD, I REMEMBER. Cat APPOINTMENT. It was a reminder to set up an appointment for the cat because he needs his shots.
Victor: Ah.
me: Holy crap, I’m so glad I figured that out. That was going to bother me all day.
Victor: Me too.
me: Really?
Victor: No, not at all.
me: Is it just me or does the cat look disappointed?
Victor: I’m going to need you to stop talking now.

In non-related news, it’s time for the weekly wrap-up. Let’s get started, shall we?
Disclaimer: That's not my body. You can tell because you can see ribs.
What you missed on my advice column (which some people still keep taking seriously in spite of the fact that it’s called Ill-Advised for a reason):
What you missed on the Houston Chronicle:
What you missed on my sex column (mildly safe for work if your boss isn’t a total douche-canoe):
- Sexy Pilgrim was my personal favorite.
What you missed in my shop (tentatively called “Eight pounds of uncut cocaine” so that your credit card bill will be more interesting.):
- Safely drop the f-bomb on casual day.
- This is why I never get invited to baby showers.
- Depression Lies. (There’s a link for a free copy at the bottom if you need it.)
- I made you a Christmas card! (Cards are half off today. See top banner for code.)
- I made you a non-denominational holiday card! (Oh stop it, angry Christians.)
- It’s a trivet. Or a spoon-rest. Or a very serious warning.
- Christmas ornaments. Or very inexpensive necklaces. Version 1, version 2, version 3, version 4. Collect the whole set! Or none of them. Either way, really. Someone stop me from making stuff, please.
What you missed on the internets:
- I agreed to be interviewed by high-schoolers. I did not curse even once.
- Kick-ass stuff I pinned.
- I submitted my name to “Hello, my fucking name is” (under the category of “Because it’s about time somebody straightened this shit out” because people mix up my name.) They attributed it to another blogger named Jenny. This is my whole life, you guys.
This week on shit-I-didn’t-come-up-with-but-wish-I-did-because-it’s-kind-of-awesome:
This week’s wrap-up sponsored by DrinkNeuro. I usually don’t do giveaways here, but I’m randomly giving out a few cases today because you seem particularly stressed out. Personally, I’m a fan of NeuroSleep. It’s like sunshine mixed with roofies. But healthier. (Product does not contain roofies. Unless “melatonin” is latin for “roofies”. Then it has a shitload of roofies in it.)

I don’t think your cat would survive in an apartment by itself…
Group home maybe?
I just wanted my comment to be close to the top as I always seem to be comment number 385 or something, so I don’t think anyone would bother reading it. Then I did that on your Sexis column and it ended up with me knitting vaginas in public and making all kinds of wonderful friends, so maybe posting later on is a good thing.
Thank you for being wonderful and brilliant and was it me who sent you the sweary periodic table? I think I emailed it to you, but that could have been a cheese dream.

When you say “randomly giving away” does that mean we need to leave comments to be chosen, or are you gonna spin around in circles and then point at someone?
I’m leaving a comment just in case, since I don’t live anywhere near you.
Although if the cat did have an apartment, he might need a roommate, and then I could.
I once inadvertently named a Word file “Nagoya castle hunt.” Somehow in my extreme sleep-deprived state, I thought I was on the market for a well-fortified Japanese castle. Took me forever to find the document.

Since your cat didn’t write that, your cat probably can’t read, either. So it’s okay that you held out the offer of getting his own place then viciously ripped it away from him. Just pet him, but not too much. He’s a cat.

My cat is a little psycho so she probably would write ‘apartment’ on my calendar in the hopes that I would find her an apartment where she could live out her teenage years smoking pot and experimenting. And then I’d have to come get her in the middle of the night because she’d accidentally thrown an orgy and couldn’t make all the other cats leave.

I really preferred “I have a really weird boner now” because I felt like I was supporting the arts. Then
the guy on the skateboard came scootching across and just made it weird.
Actually, they sell those cat condos (which are really just several carpeted cubbyholes stacked up, usually with a nice scratching post in the “common area”).
That’s what I thought you/your cat meant in that message.
But you probably don’t want a condo either, because sometimes the HOA fees can be pretty steep.
And Victor should know better. Cats are very disorganized, and they almost never write their stuff on a calendar, even the polydactyl ones that learn to fake your handwriting.
Brian the Kwyjibo recently posted..We’re Not Exactly a "Licensed" Day Care Center
That cat wanted that apartment for you and Victor. I’m thinking cat will use those opposable thumbs to steal your identities, drain your accounts and force you into an apartment while he enjoys the house all to himself.

Teresa recently posted..Albert the Highly Intelligent Kitten with Questionable Morals and Bad Ass Ninja Skillz
See, you probably wrote ‘appointment,’ but the cat took advantage of the squishy nature of your scrawl and adjusted the word to ‘apartment’ because he know you always do everything you write on your list exactly as you’ve written lest your brains scatter and you might forget the really important things like catnip and cat food which, by the bye, the cat would miss if he has his own flat because he has no discernible source of income other than you and Victor so in the end he would end up being destitute and homeless, living under a bridge somewhere, periodically showing up at your doorstep to beg for tuna scraps.
How sad is that? Lucky for the cat Victor noticed the discrepancy.

My cat has thumbs, but mostly they lead to him falling off things and getting stuck in carpets.

My daughter’s cat was getting *REALLY* jealous there for a second. I sat him down and explained the misunderstanding to him. Crisis averted.
As always, your pins are the best! Loving that one of Kate and Leo… LMAO. And The Beast! OMG!!! hahahahahhaha! The flowering tree and the wall in Scotland…gorgeous. The wall reminds me of my favorite joke about a guy who is NOT a wall-builder…and Irish not Scottish. But still the wall reminds me of the joke.

I saw the picture before I read the disclaimer and was about to say that you have gotten WAY too skinny.
If you say the NeuroSleep actually works, I’m inclined to believe you. Currently going through an extremely long fibromyalgia-induced-insomnia phase yet also weaning myself off Klonopin. Apparently the fact that I could take 4mg of Klonnie and still be upright was troubling. I should probably stop taking the Advil PM soon as I’ve been on that a month.
Don’t forget the cat appointment – I did that once and ended up with a $500 bill because she developed bad teeth and gingivitis. And now I have to brush her teeth. yay.

I think you’re cat’s messing with you. Of *course* your cat wants an apartment. In fact, he probably already has one and that is where he was when he disappeared a while back. He just needs some ‘me’ time for cat-nipping without others being all jugdy. I mean, really, that’s what we all want, isn’t it?
I love your Zazzle store…it is totally addictive to make stuff on there. I love seeing my things look all fancy and professional.
TriGirl recently posted..You Wearin’ a Cup Under that Wetsuit?
I’m fairly certain that the cat has figured out some sort of mind control technique. It said apartment, but he knew that you’d have to come up with a reasonable explanation for it, so he mind-puppeted you into believing it said appointment. Really, he just took one for the team. He’ll be more clever next time. Beware.

The housing market is horrible right now, even renting an apartment would be a dangerous venture. The last thing we need is another cat prostituting on the corner for rent money.
I love that you wrote about Marcel the Shell in your goodmom/badmom article. That is probably my favorite video ever. I devoted a whole blog post to it, which is saying something. It’s also probably saying something that I have the same sense of humor as a child. But I’m too busy watching Marcel the Shell to listen.

Jenny, you might not want to drink that. There’s conflicting research on melatonin, but a lot of it indicates that melatonin can make autoimmune diseases worse, especially rheumatoid arthritis.

Maybe he signed up to model for one of those “catvertising” campaigns behind your back and now he’s trying to get his own apartment so he can stay up late partying and doing drugs with all of the other model kitties, and then he’ll sign a movie contract and adopt twenty kids and forget to wear panties and end up on the front of tabloids because he forgot to wear panties and then he’ll get arrested but not go to jail because famous people (and kitties) don’t go to jail and then he’ll go to rehab and once he gets out of rehab people will talk about how awesome he is for going to rehab and his entire career will be reborn. And then he’ll start doing commercials again and it will all be down hill from there.

My cat’s always disappointed when I tell him he can’t have his own apartment. He looks at me like I’m the biggest B*%#@ in the world. His blue eyes turn icy and he looks like he’s going to rip me a new one, but he never does. The little coward.

Sorry Jenny, but I am going to have to side with Victor on this one, setting your cat up in an apartment DOES sound like something you would do, it is possible that your cat exercised mind control, but I could see you doing it without any external forces whatsoever…
I chose my current apartment because I thought my cats would like it. One of the closets doesn’t have a door, and I said to the real estate agent, “This is so perfect …” And she was all, “Yeah, for storage and dry goods.” And I was like, ” … for the litter box.” I was a little worried that that’d disapprove of the pedestal sink in the bathroom. But it’s fine. I put a little step stool next to it. We’re good.

Wow – Just looked at their site. Looks like they have some great drinks! The NeuroSun looks great too. Living in Maine, we’re about to get a WHOLE lot less sun. It’s a LOOOOONG dark winter here! A little NeuroSleep and a little NeuroSun would probably do me a world of good!

We were talking about you yesterday at church. Yeah… you and Beyonce have quite the fan-base at my church. Anyway, my friend was talking about Beyonce and I asked if she knew about Copernicus. Her eyes flew open – NOOOO…. You HAVE to send me a link to that!
So I came here to find Copernicus but you don’t have a search bar on your blog! Luckily, Google found it right away when I typed in “Copernicus the Monkey”!
Poor kitty… no apartment for you!

I don’t know much about cats, but from what I hear, it would likely evict you and your family to the apartment and then take over your house.

I love Louise who wants her comment at the top! 1) I hate when people get my name wrong. I was recently mistaken for an angry neonatologist at a referring hospital (I’m a social worker, people). 2) I’ve wondered if you made this awesome pin I was given that has a crown and says “Queen of Fucking Everything”. It seems so you.

My cat can speak Mandarin Chinese. But I can’t, so most of the time I have no clue what he is saying.
Sorry, but in the South your name is Jinny. You don’t get a vote.
Oh my god, I think I need those holiday cards. All of them. Because they are just that awesome, and I almost spat my tea out at the last one.
please know that I’m picturing the cat in question living in the space needle and banging out mediocre version of “movin’ on up” on a white piano.

I thought a cat apartment sounded pretty good…. every cat needs to feel like they have their own space. Ferris Mewler probabler just wanted something like an in-law apartment, not a totally different building or anything. He seems like a reasonable cat to me.
Also, I would love a random case of some Neru-whichever one I could have please. I’ve wanted to try them ever since I saw their niffty add on here. But I am too poor to actually buy them currently.

Seems like Victor frequently feels that you need to stop talking now.
See how he feels after he has to move into the cat’s apartment for a week.

Whenever I have to kennel my dogs for the weekend I realize it would be much cheaper to just rent then an apartment. I think it was a wise subliminal decision.
Oh my god, you’re funny. Just read the Ferris Mewler post, died laughing, and resurrected myself solely to get onto here and state the obvious. SO. Funny.

I don’t have a cat. But I am pretty sure the rabbitt regularly breaks out of his cage and eats all the chocolate chips.
Meanwhile, that DrinkNeuro stuff sounds pretty interesting. Any of the flavors would do, I need all the help I can get. I might even try adding vodka.

Perhaps you should have written the note on a BANANA PEEL just to really thrown Victor off the trail. BTW, Kitty’s apt is ready for move in today at 3. Left the keys under the mat. Right next to the bottle of Neurosleep tabs. Nighty-night!

I totally wish you’d make Copernicus “hug” holiday cards. I’d by them! Yes I said holiday, as I don’t celebrate Christmas.
If my dog were to write something on the calendar, it would probably go something like this:
“OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!1*! CUDDLE ME!”
And it would be written on every available free space, even the picture.
(* My dog is a nerd, too.)

It would help if our parents did name every other one of us Jenny.
But it is an awesome name.
My formal name is “Jennifer”, but have been “Jenny” to everyone… except my granny and medical professionals. Personally, the women that say, “I’m Jen. Or Jennifer. (Or maybe Jennipher) DO NOT call me Jenny…” Yeesh.
Not a fan of those gals. WHAT’S wrong with JENNY?
But I suppose with the interwezzzes I have a new last name… On the Spot. Ooooh! I should change it to on le Spot. Then could be a French blogger. I’m rambling… This was about you… My amends… <3

Also, what was with that creepy ass foot resembling a high heeled shoe on the periodic table thing. I decided not to look any further. I was afraid of the nightmares
Actually an apartment for the cat sounds like a wonderful idea…at least it won’t try to wake you up at 4 in the morning…you know…cause it lives in its own apartment and stuff.

Do you ever laugh at yourself because your reminder notes are longer and/or take more effort than actually DOING SAID TASK?
I hate making phone calls (such as vet appointments), so I make long lists of shit I NEED to do, instead of ACTUALLY doing them.

Don’t worry my cat has terrible handwriting too. Do you think there are handwriting classes for cats? Maybe they’re just expected to cope in normal ones. I don’t think that’s very fair, we need to stand up for our cats’ rights to cat oriented handwriting classes! Wow. What am I on?

Honestly, I’m feeling sort of bad for the Cat… He probably deserves and apartment especially if you were going to do all that advertising on him. He’d need a place to call his own after a long day of photoshoots and lunch with worthless agents. I’m glad you figured it out though. I’m constantly writing myself notes and then re-reading them and saying WTF? I have to get all Nancy Drew on myself. It’s sort of sad. I know.

On a somewhat-related note, since you’re a cat person — we recently rescued a cat who is in dire need of a home, and I’m wondering if you might be willing to spread the word, since we’re in Dallas and you’re semi-local — here is Barnaby’s story, if you have a moment.

Well, you know what they say. If you buy a cat an apartment…..
Warning: what treats do you feed your cat with bad handwriting?
Because I was shocked to discover today that chicken-jerky dog treats are sickening and killing dogs. The FDA has issued a warning, but the corporations as yet are not recalling these “treats,” most of which are imported from China (even by the companies that claim they’re not).
Thank you once again, corporate America. My dog is sick, but will hopefully be one of the lucky ones that survives.
I was hoping to send this to you via email because I can’t stand the idea of you not seeing it. But a 10-second scan of your blog did not yield an email address, so…
Jenny, hon, you have to get this tattoo:
http://ugliesttattoos.failblog.org/2011/11/17/funny-tattoos-zombie-unicorn/
I realize that the URL says “ugliest” and “fail”, but they are total misnomers for this particular entry. I’ll get one, too; and we can be tattoo-twins! You know you want one…
Hrmmm, maybe your cat simply wants to be able to sit on the roofies of his apartment, enjoying the sunshine while he sips some NeuroSleep… *yawn* reminds me of when they used to make corn-chips that had St Johnswort in them… damn those were good for making nachos!
This is completely off subject, but I was just reading at your Good Mom/Bad Mom blog thingo and saw where you’d mentioned #AllHallowsRead. I don’t know if your daughter would turn her nose up at these (they’re perfect for my 7-year-old son, who LOVES zombies and vampires and things that go bump in the night…. he keeps LOOKING for monsters under his bed and is disappointed in the lack thereof) but the Bunnicula series is AWESOME. My mother read the books to me when I was tiny and I’ve had way too much fun carrying on that tradition with my own children.

Kudos for being a mother and married and being you! Thanks for making me laugh every day!
Totally unrelated to today’s post and yet not completely…ok..it really is totally unrelated but still:
I think it would fulfill every dream I’ve ever dreamed (seriously!) if we could entice The Bloggess to be an onstage guest at w00tstock (http:// w00tstock.net) in thier proposed w00tStock Festival (late 2012??, location TBA). Of course we’d also have to propose that Jenny be a guest to the w00tStock gang (Paul and Storm, et al). To see The Bloggess AND Wil Wheaton (and all the other amazing, talented, funny-as-hell Geeks) would allow me to die a happy woman.
Anyway, it was a thought.
Jenny, I told my cat that he couldnt have an apartment until he was no longer a minor. In cat years he’ll only be 3 but it bought me a year to start putting away linens and dishes and stuff!
No disrespect intended, but a cat would never do this. In fact, a cat would probably sharpen its claws on his owner’s casket.

What’s really great is that in the post you linked about getting the kitten, the caption on the kitty photo says “this kitten has a flat”, so perhaps you did in fact go back in time and set up an apartment (flat) for him, or he read that post and got annoyed that he did not actually have his own place and wrote a reminder for you to get him one.
