Pooping Catzzzz

Lexi suggested I write about "catzzzz."

I have a problem with this for two reasons:
1) I don't like cats. In fact, I rather detest them.
2) "catzzzz" is not a logical way to pronounce "cats" because the word "cat" ends with the unvoiced letter, meaning that, because of the way English works, the "s" at the end will actually sound like an "s," because "s" is also unvoiced. This is in contrast to "dogs," which, when spoken, really sounds like "dogz" because the "g" at the end of the word "dog" is voiced, and therefore so is the "s," which actually turns into the "z" sound rather than the "s" sound. I reiterate: "catzzzz" does not make pronunciational sense.

Yesterday I overheard my roommate Skyping with her friend. I wasn't meaning to eavesdrop but it accidentally happened a little. She was telling her friend about how her old, decrepit cat who lives with her parents got into the habit of pooping all over the house, apparently because she didn't feel like climbing down the stairs to her litter box.

I wish I knew how to thank my landlord for not allowing pets in our house. He is a saint for making my roommate's cat stay at her parents'. (This policy also wisely prevents me from getting a dog, which I want, but am just not ready to take care of.)

Then today, when I was talking to Lexi on the phone, I heard her shriek as she watched her roommate's cat poop on the floor. It just...pooped on the floor. And that, my friends, is not okay.

Conclusion: catzzzz are bad and I should not have written about them.

But Lexi is still my friend for some reason.


God bless.
