rid of pussy

so we are getting rid of our cat, cosita. we have two - kitkat is the oldest. she's a very attention hungry, excessive purring, hairball having cat i've ever had but cosi (ta) is the most anti-social, cutest, white pawed kitten one has ever seen. cost is so not a good pet as she sleeps under the bed all day, refuses to play with anyone but the guy and only eats and sh*t. she also is a terrible mouse catcher: whenever a mouse comes out to play (courtesy of all this frekkin snow!) cosi is conveniently absent until kitkat has played handball with the mouse's body against our wall. we live in nyc - the city built on rat's nest and when a mouse finds it way into our home - the pet must become protector of the fortress and handle dat shyt. im scared of mice and i have a kid. unfortunately, letters and mice skeletons hand delivered to the land lord have not made the problem disappear so i have dealt with the situation like any californian turned new yorker: jump on the furniture and curse the landlord! (ed note: the guy is the deceasedmousecleaneruper - if it wasnt for him - and the lawd - i would never sleep a wink)!

things i do after the mouse is caught.

1 - cover all door openings
2 - pick up shoes (i love my shoes, do you know how traumitized i would be if i found anything in my shoes?
3 - pick up backpacks
4 - make sure trash is emptied (thank god - i took it down already).
5 - shake my sheets on the bed (i told you im scared dammit)
6 - search craigslist for the umpteenth time. desperately seeking 3 bedroom for less than 1500. yea right - fukn thank you ny for the uprise in gentrified bklyn and harlem housing areas!
7 - search dvd collection for a funny film: how high, undercover brother, old school... yes! old school!
8 - go back to pretending my foot is not falling asleep tucked under my big ass in this too tiny chair
