Working late one Friday night, a few of us stopped for a few minutes to have a water cooler discussion. Only that it wasn’t near the water cooler but in the office corner, where we had an uninterrupted view of the city skyline.
Looking at the twinkling lights, the conversation somehow turned to cats.
“I hate cats,” said one colleague. “You can’t even bathe them as they bathe themselves. They wash themselves with their saliva. That’s disgusting.”
“No, it’s not,” I leaped in Butterscotch and Gingersnap’s honour. “You can bathe them but most of them don’t like water. I once helped my neighbour wash her cats.”
“Where? In the bathroom?”
“No. The kitchen sink.”
“Where she washes the dishes?”
“Yes.”
“That’s disgusting!”
“What’s so disgusting about that? It’s just a cat taking a bath.”
That reminded me of the time I was playing with the same ex-neighbour’s cats. I must have been picking at a pimple beforehand.
“And she’s touching the cat!” shrieked my ex-neighbour.
“I get so tired of these people who constantly say, ‘That’s disgusting’,” said Fred. “It gets so tiresome.”
You’re telling me.
