Ortho-don't-ist

Today, I went to the orthodontist only to find the door locked and a sign saying that all appointments were cancelled due to "sterilization issues."

Being involved in animal rescue, I immediately thought this meant my orthodontist was being neutered. He couldn't keep his appointments because he was currently under the knife, or he had just had the procedure done and had acquired some kind of unspeakable infection.

And now, the mental image of him holding a big bag of ice to his crotch is traumatizing me to no end.

Ew.

I know I'm a cat person and all...

...but this freaks me right the fuck out.

New love

I got a call the other day from the animal rescue organization I work with. They needed a foster home for a little black and white kitten. Considering I was in kitten withdrawal, I immediately said yes.

The problem was his name. His mother's name is Mouse and he looks just like her, so the previous foster home named him Mouse Junior, or MJ. So, unless you know the background, you're going to think MJ stands for Michael Jackson.

The other kittens in his litter were adopted immediately, but MJ was the only one who didn't get snapped up. He's been waiting for more than two months now, which doesn't make sense, because he is flipping adorable.

I can only assume that people think that MJ is a kitten molester. Or maybe dead. And who wants to adopt a dead kitten molester with drug problems?

So, the first thing I did was change his name. I watched him for awhile to see if his personality could give me some clues on what to call him. Typicalquirk was over, so we brainstormed.

Savia: He is very mellow and seems to like to lounge around a lot.
TQ: What are some good lounge names?
Savia: Frank Sinatra...
TQ: You could call him Frankie...
Savia: Hey, like Frankie Goes to Hollywood.
TQ: Frankie says, "Relax"!!

It was perfect for this mellow little dude. Meet Frankie:
