A near calamity was just averted. Becky noticed that the little water-circulator thingy in Pug the Goldfish’s tank wasn’t running. Turns out, its cord had been yanked out of the electrical socket behind the couch. The space between the couch and the wall is easily large enough to fit a cat, so I suspect feline foul play. This was obviously part of a plot to deprive poor Pug of oxygen, thus making him easier prey. Unsatisfied with tuna scraps, the kitties are plotting to obtain some fresh fish, by any means necessary. Sasha’s futile pawing at the glass door previously seemed cute and harmless, but now I realize she was actually training for an assault on the fishtank. All she has to do is figure out how to scratch through solid glass (or plastic, as the case may be), and Pug is in real trouble…
P.S. Earlier today, Becky noticed Robbie taking a long, hard look at Pug. Hmm. Could this be a multi-species anti-fish terrorist conspiracy? Hey, if Sunnis and Shiites can work together against a common enemy, maybe cats and dogs can, too. Though I’m thinking Robbie is probably a mercenary: I bet the cats have promised him a share of their dry food (he loves cat food) in return for his cooperation. Come to think of it, he ate some of their food while we were at Target this evening!! They meowed plaintively when we got home, whining like he’d stolen it and they were oh-so-hungry, and I foolishly obliged by refilling their bowl… little did I know they were plotting against us the whole time!

At the very least, bully ‘em into Pleading Out to Reckless Disregard for Piscine Life. / Otherwise, they Fry.

If the fish die, the terrorists have won.

This is what Brendan does instead of studying for the bar. In case you were wondering.

The thing is, Brendan, the cats have been studying for the bar too and now know their rights regarding feline imprisonment. They might attempt to sue you if you don’t let them express themselves by doing what comes naturally……eating Pug. ;)

So that upcoming trip to Denver is not really for Brendon to take the Bar Exam, but a rescue mission for Hugh Manatee!
And then Hugh can protect Pug from those others…
