How Bubbles came to stay!

I almost gave away my cat, Bubbles, today. It had been really frustrating managing Bubbles and Eshaal together. There’s fur on the couches, behind the couches, on the rugs, under the rugs. There are scratches on the leather and a million disturbances that come with a pet cat. But, those issues are the least of my worries. Bubbles, although friendly isn’t one to be bullied by Eshaal. She reacts and hits back. So after many disagreements with Asad (did you see the underline?)...

Asad:     If you can’t manage her why do you have her?
Fiz:         Cuz' you just don’t chuck out a family member!
Asad:     You’re waiting for Bubbles to scratch Eshaal?
Fiz:         Bubbles won’t do that...
Asad:     What if Eshaal eats Bubbles poop?
Fiz:         Ewwww…. Eshaal has common sense, she won’t!
Asad:     Yes, like the time her common sense made her drink tiger balm!

… I made up my mind to give away Bubbles. Logic: Eshaal’s well being is more important to me. Also, we won’t have to make arrangements whenever we go on trips, there won’t be a cat screaming in the house and waking everyone up at 6 o clock, there won’t be any Eshaal/Bubbles wrestling matches and most of all no cat-in-heat-find-an-appropriate-mate dilemmas. This little girl called me up to ask if she can have Bubbles and I said yes. This was yesterday and I’ve changed my mind. It will need hell lot more to give away Bubbles than these reasons. Eshaal loves bubbles. That’s the most interesting thing for her when she wakes up in the morning. I can’t do that to my baby... we’ll just have to deal with vacuums and rollers...  Bubbles stays!
