so I'm in the local PetSmart getting some litter and food and stuff, and I stop by the Adoption area in the back, where they have a few cages holding cats in need of adoption. Most are abandoned house pets, so they are plenty friendly, and paw at the glass as people walk by. (I guess they avoid putting the real psycho kitties out on display or something...)
Anyway, this time there was a sign that they were looking for volunteers to help with cleaning the cages, socializing the animals, etc... I had a moment of soft-heartedness, and signed up to come in after work one day a week.
Now, it turns out that the cleaning and feeding is mostly done in the morning, so all that will really be left by the time I get there is socializing the little beasts.
In other words, I've just volunteered to pet and play with friendly adoption cats.
boy... this is going to be tough. ;-)
