Because if you can't text a person's phone number, what on EARTH else would you do with it??
(Okay, I'm projecting: I loathe a phone call.)
I have no idea if any of my Shepherdstown folks here remember the use of the word "crucial" in town in the early aughts, but I remember so many things being "croosh" back then. Maybe you can't make "fetch" happen, but "croosh" sure did.
(Attention: Cat. <3)
Personally I admire Nicole's dedication to Stromboli's new name.
OH! PS! Chapter 9 is up on the ET website! It's the one where Kris's dreams get kinda saucy.

You are *so good* at making dialogue that flows with realism and character personality.

I don't think they'd even need to shave them, just get someone to hold the claws out of the way and look through the fur. :-)

I like this but I kinda object to Nicole trying to name the cat that seems to have adopted someone else…
Chris Kalin
Oh, so they only have to shave the cat/dog (like they would for surgery) but then don't have to actually guess if it's a battle scar or an incision scar because there's a tattoo there? That's smart, I've never heard of that! I'm one of the lucky 10,000 today!
Can totally relate to the *meh* goodbye to the human, but all the love to the cat!

Trap, Neuter, Return. It's the most humane and effective way to deal with feral cat populations
Douglas Appelt
Oof. Nicole is a *handful*. Wayyyy too much energy for me to hang out with! :D
No cell phone here either. Not enough social cues in texts for me to figure out what a person actually means. Don't mind a call but it has best be important!
TNR?

The sideways face and heart eyes make her look demented, which is... really on point for that character, in a lot of ways! - - Neal

Not a huge fan of phone calls myself.

I think some places are moving to the green line tattoo on the belly. I know it's standard for pets/adoption candidates...

Oh I love Miranda ❤️
Cab
I looooove the dynamic between the two!!

I'm with Nicole here, encountering a twentysomething without a cell phone would be like finding a unicorn.
Joanna
Well... Stromboli doesn't have an ear tipped, so she hasn't been TNR'd.

And here we see the UPside of having a Nicole in your life.
