CATS

The stray cat situation on campus is out of control. Of course I feel sorry for the strays (even if they do leave unsightly deposits of feathers and fur balls around campus), but their presence inside our living/kitchen area is impinging on my culinary freedom. Yesterday morning I was graced with companionship of an unusually aggressive orange tabby whom a suitemates has befriended with spaghetti remnants. This cat would not leave me alone, but my timid attempts to chase it outside were thoroughly unsuccessful. I decided to try to ignore it…but as I was eating breakfast the cat attacked me in an attempt to grab part of my banana (since when do cats even like fruit?). I narrowly escaped to my bedroom. Hard to believe I used to want to be a vet!
