Only one question and it's a word problem (but don't worry, multiple choice!)
You are an airport baggage handler. Flight A is arriving 30 minutes late. Several passengers on Flight A are changing to flight B, which leaves in less than 1 hour. Due to the tight connection, what do you decide must NOT wait until a later flight?
A. Baggage (suitcases, etc.);
B. LIVE ANIMALS; or
C. Fuck 'em, they all can wait.
If you answered B, I'm sorry, but you're not qualified to work as a Frankfurt baggage handler.
Somebody please explain to me why my suitcase made it but my CAT didn't?!?

This Story Has A Happy Ending
Or, "Why Batman is scared of August"
Batman does not like change (republicat?). Changes in location, changes in food, changes in speed while in the car, change in time of day. Batman just doesn't do change.
While driving back to Augusta from Houston, August and I decided to stop for the night at a hotel I've stayed at in Baton Rouge (we got a really late start) that was close to the freeway and accepted pets. Little did we know that there was an LSU football game that night. We couldn't find any hotels in the area that were less than $200/night and took pets so we got back on 10 to head further out to find something cheaper.
Remember what I said about Batman not liking changes in car speed? Add that to the fact that he just plain ole hates the car and we had been driving around slowly for a while, teasing him into thinking we were stopping and you have one PISSED OFF cat. He was yeowling his head off in the back window. We eventually started ignoring him so he decided to make his way to the front seat by way of the driver's (August's) left shoulder to let us know, in no uncertain (or quiet) terms just how pissed off he was.
Right as he gets a couple paws onto August's shoulder, Batman's back paw hits the window down button. On the freeway. At 70+ mph. After a few tense seconds we get the window rolled up (and child locked, lesson learned!) and Batman into the front seat with me. He didn't make one peep for the rest of the night.
But the story doesn't end there. The next day we drove for over 12 hours, at one point through an awful stop and go traffic jam, and he is totally, uncharacteristically silent. Not even a small complaint. My theory is that Batman doesn't realize he rolled the window down and thinks we did and were going to throw him out if he didn't stop complaining. He was on his best behavior on Sunday to make sure he wouldn't be thrown out the window. Poor guy :-/
Okay, so I laugh about this, especially his coming to the front seat to complain. What a whiny little bitch! ;-)

The Kittehs are Home!!
So after one very very long day of driving (and months of begging and weeks of waiting) I HAS KITTEHS! I don't have a lot of pictures yet. Eclipse moves to fast and Batman is still in hiding. All in all, they're too cute for words =D
Eclipse and Batman on the ride home. Eclipse was cool as a cucumber. She even purred for me! Poor Batman stayed in one place, not moving, and appeared to be trying to find a happy place away from the carrier.
Eclipse the adventurer exploring as soon as the carrier door opened!
Her favorite spot. If I'm typing to you and it suddenly doesn't make sense, this is why.
Batman, still hanging out in the carrier, watching Sister have all the fun. Still not sure about this new place.
The kitties have chosen my couch as home base. It's toast!
