See if this works, since the other seems to have failed...

Hey folks. I've had an awful day. This will not be a happy post. If you
were looking forward to happy, prepare to be disappointed. It happens.
That's life. Full of disappointments. Get used to it.

Now that we've got that out of the way, let me explain why my day has been
awful. I had a discussion over Drizzt's behavior and lack of litter box
technique, and it was mentioned that I ought to take him back to the pet
store and find myself an older, already mellow cat. One that would conform
to my schedule, instead of this one. I was upset by this.

However, a good point was raised. I can't handle the kitten the way things
are. He needs too much, and it will take time to change this. An example:
he will not poop twice in the same litter. It has to be scooped between
visits. Fine, if I'm here all day and have the desire to constantly check
for activity. But I won't be here all day, and there's no telling whether
he'll find another of his five (5) litter boxes, or if he'll just go right
by the litter box in question. He's done that before. Even with five (5!)
litter boxes.

So then, the debate rages in my mind. On the one hand, Drizzt is my little
baby, my responsibility, and supposedly my joy (on a good day, the
"supposedly" would be missing from that). On the other of the hands, I
haven't invested much in him at this point, and he's still young enough that
someone will readily adopt him. Is it not my responsibility to see that
he's well cared for, something I cannot readily provide at this point?

So, my mind has been in turmoil the whole day long with this, and I am not
feeling very well. It's emotional. There are other cats out there, ones
that might be a better match. But isn't it a bit callous to replace a cat,
simply because there wasn't a "match"?

I don't know at this point. I'm considering sleeping on the futon tonight,
and leaving Drizzt in the bedroom. I might get more than four hours of
sleep tonight, if I do that. I don't know. I've said that phrase so many
times today it's uncanny.

Well, I'm going to think about it some more. There's your stupid post for
today. Happy? You shouldn't be.

End.
