thebratqueenMy cats are no longer naked. After spending far too long fretting about whether Mac would freak out if a collar was put on him, plus after realizing that while I can't get a dog at the very least cats are apparently doing their kitty best to accessorize, I bought Mac and Luna a dapper and cute collar, respectively, and brought them home along with ID tags for them to wear.
I only put them on a few moments ago, so we'll see how long this lasts. Especially since, while they do love me, they do get suspicious when I hang around the region of their heads for too long for purposes other than petting (this dating back to when I had to give them eardrops for weeks on end, which I'm sure they still hoard close to their kitty chests so that they can properly expound upon it when we all go to therapy). So I'm not 100% sure that the collars fit right yet. I figured easier to err on the side of being loose and then adjust as needed when they're in my lap later then be too tight and not get it on them at all.
Plus I bribed them with lots of pets and catnip. And used the kitty psychology of putting Luna's on first since 1) She doesn't catch on as quickly as Mac does and 2) spending significant amounts of time fussing over and petting one cat brings the other 'round to remind you that you have duties to them as well. So within moments Mac came over to stare at us and make it clear, through the power of his staring, that whatever Luna was getting he wanted too, and quite frankly he should've gotten first since he's older than she is and has tenure and really it's a matter of respect and HEY WTF WITH PUTTING THINGS ON NECKS? OI!
And there we are. I think they look adorable. Not sure yet if they agree with me.
In other news today at work I got to do the online sexual harassment training. Basically you were presented with various scenarios and had to click on whatever answer was most appropriate in the multiple choice questions that followed. At one point a question was about a calendar hung in a cubicle, which had a picture of a bikini-clad woman and a muscular, shirtless man. Sadly the choices did not cover any of my own thoughts on the matter, such as:
1) Percentage-wise, are there really that many employees who would get pleasure out of both the semi-nekkid female and the male?
2) If there are, where do they shop? Because the end of the year is coming, and I could use a new calendar.
3) If a "buy it now" option is not available during the test, could we at least get a closeup of the pictures? Just so that everyone can be fully educated about hostile work environments, of course.
Amazingly, I did pass the test with flying colors. Not sure how anyone would fail it, given the types of choices. Though part of me couldn't help but wonder if more was going on in the test than appeared. For instance, surely the option of "Justified revenge" in response to "What do you call slashing a co-worker's tires when she won't go out with you?" immediately puts in a call to 911 to help save everyone some time.
At least that's my assumption.
