One annoying, slightly used cat for trade - will accept twix candy bar or nearest offer...

It is official - we have one of the MOST annoying cats on earth.

Sure he's cute, fluffy, orange and he's got the whole giant, sparkly anime eyes of innocence thing going for him - BUT he is still ANNOYING. And, when I say annoying I mean  the patience trying, "gawd I want to kick you out the back door" kind of annoying. 

Please don't let my earlier rant dissuade you from considering a trade. He does have some merits. He is fluffy, chubby and loves having his belly rubbed. Really, who doesn't love to rub a purring belly? That opportunity should be enough to have you rushing over to negotiate a trade! As a PLUS he is also super amazing at hiding q-tips so if you ever need an entire box of them strategically stashed throughout your apartment or house - then he's your cat! He's even been knows to get really creative and hide them UNDER carpets and piles of laundry.  Oh and did I mention that he has cute little freckles on his perfectly pink nose and that he has the most perfect pink toes.

This cat is also a GENIUS at sniffing out hair bands. So if you're terrible at keeping track of these little elastic circles he'll help you out. Just make sure to supervise the hunt - if you're not there to claim them as soon as he's found them he'll store them in his water bowl for you. There are few things grosser than knowing your ponytail is being held up by a little circle drenched in kitty backwash water. So get on your hands and knees and follow the fuzzy critter as he hunts out your hair bands! Exercise - that has to be a positive reason to take him, no?

Hmm what other redeeming qualities does he have... He is GREAT at bringing up dirty laundry from the basement. His specialty is socks and boy does he let you know when he is laundry hunting. He sounds like a foghorn coming up the basement stairs. If you have small children and love having them woken up 5minutes into every single nap then THIS is the cat for you! Plus, how fun is it to have your kids yell out "Cat" when they hear a REAL foghorn.  Pretty darn funny!!

He loves to play fetch so if you ever wanted a puppy that you didn't have to walk then this guy is PERFECT for you. You just have to change his litter, feed him, give him some attention, some water and put up with his idiosyncrasies. He is a tad less than graceful so you'll always know exactly when and where he's jumped up onto furniture. The overturned knickknacks and item's lying on the floor (smashed or otherwise) will provide you with a lovely game of "lets guess what the crazy cat was after. Plus the cleaning up after him gives you more EXERCISE - what a bonus!

Now that I'm sure I've convinced you just how wonderful this annoying cat is, I'll wait patiently for the swap offers to roll in. In the meantime, Sweet dreams to all :)

Disclaimer:
Don't worry, the annoying cat is safe and won't actually be kicked out of the back door or be traded for candy (Unless it's REALLY good candy).
