Default cat trees and fostering

I think she'll like it. You know you got it bad when the tax return
is earmarked for a cat tree.


Even if you "have people", that's not really a guarantee
you'll have a refund due - you might OWE money! (Unless you
deliberately have too much withheld from your pay all year,
and that's not really "cost effective", since the IRS only
pays interest if they are late in returning your money -
they get interest-free use of it until April 15th plus the
couple of months until they actually send the refund check!)

Meanwhile, my sister is getting quite a rep as a foster mom! They
didn't want to get another pet after Topaz went to the Bridge, because
they are considering moving, so she signed up to foster cats. Turns
out, she has a knack for dealing with the most troubled cases, calming
them down and socializing them so they can be adopted out more
easily. Must be the nurse thing. So they've got 3 of them at home
now, just being loved up silly. They're having a blast.
