An Introduction. Or: My Roommate Is Nuts.

My Roommate and I were sitting in the living room together this evening, watching Planet Earth. (On DVD. Because she owns the whole thing.) The Cat was lying next to me, so I started idly playing with her paws, as I am wont to do. This prompted a discussion about The Cats and the differences between the two. Isis is about the width of a rail covered in fur, while Sandy is a rotund mass of Cat. (I'm also certain that there is nothing underneath the fur-- just more fur.)

"Sandy has Waffle Hands." The Roommate stated.

"Waffle Hands?" I replied, befuddled.

"Yeah, Waffle Hands! It's like somebody stuck her hands in a waffle maker!"

Completely ignoring the fact that cats have paws and not hands, I found myself agreeing with her. Both cats have been de-clawed, and while Isis' paws were relatively unchanged, Sandy's apparently partially melted and never re-formed properly.
