    TBF, bickering with a cat carrier is pretty normal behavior.

      word-for-word what I came here to type

      It’s one of the most normal things I do.

      Cat Carrier: Rooowwwn
      Me: You’re in obvious pain and your mouth smells like rot. We’re doing this.
      CC: Mrew
      Me: It won’t get better till they take the tooth out.
      CC: Moooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwww
      Me: Too bad.

      Yeah, anyone with a cat will empathize with Sergio. At least his car can hold up his/her end of the conversation.

        “Car”?

        Yeah, we all know you meant “cat”, but in the Narboniverse, it could be either one. Oh, and Cinnamon is indeed a “her”.

      Usually you don’t say “they think I am dead” to your cat though.

      Cats don’t need that kind of stress.

    That T-shirt is my favorite color, but I don’t know what it is.

        No, my mistake. Apricot.

          No, apricot has a lot more yellow. Reb is right with salmon.

            I think it’s actually burnt orange.

            I considered that, but I looked up a chart, and it’s almost a perfect match for what they called “salmon3”. It’s just a titch darker, but nowhere near dark enough to be “salmon4”. But I suppose it depends on whose colour chart you’re looking at.

      Salmon.

        The closest match I got was a Carhartt “Cayenne Snow Heather”. But it was a pocket Tee. Tough to judge, but it’s still my new fave.

      Sort of a cantaloupe?

    Could you get two cats into one carrier?

      2 cats, 1 cup

      From experience, getting two cats into one carrier can be done, in fact the second cat followed her sister in. But I’m not convinced it should be done. Trying to get the cats out in a controlled manner at the vets was distinctly non-trivial, had to dismantle the carrier around the cats as they weren’t going to come out of the entrance in single file. Fortunately it was one of those large carriers that could have the entire top half unlatched. I took two carrier to the vets later to pick them up again… (which relieved all the humans at least).

      If they like each other and aren’t TOO big, sure. We’ve done it with siblings many a time, or with kittens and momma cat, or with smol cats and big cats whom they adore.

      Yep. In fact, I had two who traveled better when in the same carrier

        Agreed. Depends a lot on size of the carrier, and how well the cats get along. (And the level of difficulty of getting one or both of them into a carrier. At the same time.)

    Do I spy, with my little eye…. a cameo by Robin? And possibly Shaenon’s hair?

      It also looks like Jeff is there.

        If Hitchcock could do a cameo in his films, why not them?

      Of course the way the car was empty before and now seems packed…

        That’s how subways work– I mean, it’s kind of unlikely they haven’t made several stops. The population changes with every stop.

    Come to think of it, Echo Bravo was guarding the Carbondale facility when Sergio was working on the Second Gate…he might recognize him, dead or alive. Of course Echo Bravo comes across as a peabrain, so who knows?…

    crimping?

      You have to watch the tutorials. I’m not gonna post any because they’re just too silly for even this forum.

      Oh, I think when I read this last night, I read that as “primping”, not crimping, so now I’m not sure what is intended, either, unless he’s using a hair crimper on his tail, which sounds likely to be painful. Maybe he’s just crimping the tuft on the end.

    I’m pretty sure a man arguing with a cat carrier would get no more than a second glance in most major cities. The cat carrier answering back would get maybe a third.

      And even then it would be dismissed as a prank.

      And now I want to take my cat for a stroll in the carrier, with my phone on speaker inside the carrier, and carry on an actual conversation, just to see what kind of reactions I get from people.

        It’s better if you do it with a cardboard box. I wrote an entire fanfic based around a scene like that once, a Meitantei Conan/Ayatsuri Sakon crossover. Man, I had *totally* forgotten about that fic. ^_^

          Sort of like when Helen and Mell went out with Dave’s head in a box?

    Sergio needs to invest in one of those bluetooth earpieces, even a fake one, to justify all his arguing with himself.
