I may have decided to adopt a cat. I’ve been thinking about it and talking about it for over a year... I just haven’t pulled the trigger yet. It’s a big decision, but my friend Mara rescued a cat off the streets the other day and I’ve submitted an application to allow him to move in with me.  An application... With references... For a cat. Do I need a guarantor as well? I could get an apartment in NYC easier than this cat...

Mara: so what happened with jordana, i saw her email to you
Jess: she's going to call me today
Jess: this is like adopting a kid
Mara: oh nice...hahah totally
Mara: i was like what the hell does she want to talk to her about
Mara: it was very straightforward
Jess: it's not like i'm going to ask for the cat and then neglect him
Jess: or put him in the microwave
Mara: haaaaa i guess there are some people who might
Jess: silly
Jess: that'd be just like me
Jess: to be turned down for adopting a cat who 48 hours ago was living on the street
Mara: omg i cannot imagine that...
Jess: well i am not getting too excited yet
Mara: i am!! Im antsy...
Jess: well now i've named him and everything
Jess: so i may be a little devastated
Jess: when they decide i am only fit to raise stuffed cats
Mara: i think it will all work out fine..its probably just procedure
Mara: haaaaaaaaahahaha...stop...im peeing...
Jess: ya know, if Smokey could talk... she'd tell them what a wonderful caretaker I am
Jess: for 20+ years she's stayed with me
Mara: she could have been your reference
Jess: she could leave if she wants...
Jess: but she stays
