HALIFAX, NS—For many groups of university roommates, large house decisions are rarely given much consideration in terms of long term consequences. This rings especially true for a group of four friends, living at 987 Jennings Street, who jumped at the opportunity of bringing a stray cat in when it showed up on their doorstep in early September.
Now, as the semester comes to a close, it has become evident that no one had put any thought into who will care for the feline over Christmas break. When the issue was initially brought up, Alfred Horman suggested “We should just put her up for adoption, Steve is allergic anyway” to which Steve Bilston replied “ Allergic? Who cares? Whiskers is a total chick magnet”.
Bilston was the first to suggest releasing Whiskers into the streets of Halifax during their three week absence, explaining “She’ll be fine! We haven’t even fed her once this semester, she’s just been dealing with our mouse problem”.
“I mean she’s spayed, what’s the worst that could happen?” continued Bilston, to which Horman replied “Steve, the cat is a boy.”
