When Summer spoke up, he pulled away a bit, but kept his hands on her shoulders, smile placed upon his face. \u201cIf you don\u2019t mind me saying, if I didn\u2019t have cats, I might have had to get one to make some use of the catnip. And honestly, I wouldn\u2019t be completely against that.\u201d Robert\u2019s thoughts jumbled when Summer mentioned \u2018moggie\u2019 cats. What in heaven\u2019s name was a \u2018moggie\u2019 cat? \u201cA moggie cat? You mean like\u2026 a cross-breed, correct? Is that a new word for that, because I\u2019m unaware of what that term means.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cNo, a moggie is \u2014 it\u2019s to cats what mutt is to dogs. I mean, I guess a cross-breed would be a moggie, but it\u2019s derived from mongrel. So it\u2019s more cats whose heritage is just whatever. All four of mine are just whatever, street cat types.\u201d Summer fumbled in her pocket for her smartphone. \u201cHelios doesn\u2019t look it, though. He\u2019s a Ragdoll throwback, I think. All his sibs were black and shorthaired, and he\u2019s got six inch deep fur.\u201d She unlocked the phone screen, and then turned it to Robert. \u201cSee?<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThe word cross-breed works just as well when you think about it. I understand where they get the term from, but it seems more\u2026 degrading to them, than just simply calling them a cross-breed. Considering cross-breed could mean more than just two types of cat.\u201d Instead of just looking at the phone screen, Robert took the phone right from Summer\u2019s hands, looking at the picture more closely. \u201cA lovely feline. Truthfully, I don\u2019t care too much what breed I get, as long as they\u2019re in need of help, a good home, and I know how to take care of that certain breed.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“I’ve never had a purebred at all. I love my kitties for their sweet stinker hearts and personalities, and I just know too damn much about how some of the breeds get fixed. Just, like … you know, one of the up and coming cat breeds is the Munchkin, the ones with the dachshund leg mutation? And I can’t stand that, actually, because there’s health problems associated with it, but nobody seems to care, it’s all about how cute they are with their little short legs. Same like Persians, with the flat faces, and those poor kitties struggle with nasal problems, and it’s just wrong.” She spread her hands, looking down into the palms. “Almost all the cats I’ve ever had have been strays or adopted animal rescue kittens — in some cases literally. Doc and Kronos were born basically on my doorstep.”<\/p>\n

It occurred to her that she was babbling again. “Sorry. Sorry. Sometimes I get carried away talking about my furry stinkers.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
