We're taking him home on Monday, and the first order of business will be to change that asinine name.
It's true we were predisposed to like him because he looks so much like Stinky, so we tried to keep an open mind toward the other cats. But he was really cool and affectionate without trying too hard, unlike some of the others. Sorry, overachiever cats. You're awfully charming, but you just wouldn't fit in at our lazy, socially awkward household.
Despite what's-his-name's immediately apparent awesomeness, it's really hard to pick a cat and be done with it when you're in a room full of them. This guy and this guy were pretty great, and there was this really big, handsome, goofy badass of a cat that we would have loved to take home if we hadn't been afraid he would kick Stinky's ass every day just for fun.
Hey, I know! You should go up there and get one of those other ones we liked, and then we can come see him and live vicariously through you. I hear Town Lake has some pretty good cats right now, too.
Oh, come on. Don't you want a new cat? Don't you want to assuage our ridiculous, misplaced guilt for walking away from so many big-eyed, plaintive animals? The jerks.
