THIS WAS PREMEDITATED

Thompson

that’s a lot of shoes Marchetti

Marchetti

it was a three-tier rack Thompson. three tiers. she took out all three. structural collapse. total loss. third time she's done this

Mueller

was the rack itself structurally sound?

Marchetti

it was a TARGET rack Mueller. it was FINE

Mueller

i’m asking because a lot of flat-pack furniture has known load-bearing issues and if the cat only needed to apply minimal force then the fault is the rack not the cat

Marchetti

she did not gently nudge the rack Mueller. she launched herself off the kitchen counter at two in the morning and landed on it like a missile. this was a tactical strike

Davis

did she eat any of the shoe parts

Marchetti

she chewed one lace. one. and then left it next to the shoe like a receipt

Jensen

confirmed predator behavior

Kowalski

she left a receipt

Marchetti

SHE LEFT A RECEIPT

Berger

i’m going to need the timeline. when was last confirmed sighting before the incident. what was her position

Marchetti

she was asleep on the couch at midnight. i have a photo

Berger

and the next confirmed sighting was 3 AM in the wreckage?

Marchetti

correct. three hours unaccounted for. she could have been planning this since eleven

Berger

noted

Thompson

Berger you’re not going to rank the destruction methodology?

Berger

not enough data points yet. one incident isn’t a pattern

Thompson

...that’s never stopped you before

Hájek

i think Parker is expressing herself. cats destroy things when they are full of feelings. it is communication

Marchetti

she’s communicating that she hates my shoes

Hájek

or that she loves you very much and needed you to wake up and pay attention to her

Marchetti

Hájek that is devastating and i need you to stop

M?kinen

Jari caught a fly yesterday. out of the air. one paw

Thompson

like a goalie

M?kinen

yes. like a goalie

Murray

my wife is concerned that the kittens are receiving better medical care than our children

Kowalski

are they?

Murray

i’m not answering that

Marchetti

Fonty how’s Bug

Fontenot

good. she sleeps on the radiator

Marchetti

that’s it? that’s the whole update?

Fontenot

she sleeps on the radiator. she’s warm. she’s good

Marchetti

ok who has been to the Thai place on Ponce. because i went last night and i have THOUGHTS

Davis

which one. there’s like four

Marchetti

the one with the green sign. the pad see ew was incredible. the curry needed more heat but the noodle texture was perfect

Thompson

here we go

Mueller

the yellow curry is better than the green. this is not debatable

Marchetti

it is extremely debatable Mueller. the green curry has a better sauce ratio

Berger

the viscosity is wrong on the green

Marchetti

the viscosity

Berger

too thin. a curry needs body. i’ve said this

Thompson

you have a viscosity category

Berger

i have a viscosity category

Marchetti

since WHEN do you rate sauce by viscosity

Berger

since always. it’s in the spreadsheet

Hájek

i enjoyed the soup. the lemongrass was very fresh

Jensen

the spring rolls were fine

Thompson

“fine.” Jensen has never had a strong feeling about food in his life

Jensen

i have feelings. i keep them private

Lundy

the dumplings

Kowalski

Lundy that is not a review

Lundy

it doesn’t need to be

Ash

can we get back to the part where Marchetti’s cat committed a crime at 3 AM

Marchetti

thank you Ash. THANK YOU. she’s a menace. a beautiful, perfect menace who i love more than anything in this world

M?kinen

sure

Avi

Replace the shoe rack. Anchor it to the wall this time. She’ll do it again.

Marchetti

...yes cap

wait. how does cap know she’ll do it again

Ash

he has a cat Marchetti. he knows

Marchetti

fair. yes cap
