Good day, SG. Go read my SGNews post.
My cat is not dead, neither will she be killed. Full story follows.


If you didn't know, I'm in Iraq. Here, there are rules against keeping pets. They don't want us to get rabies because if we all die of rabies there will be no one to maintain this illegal occupation of a country that hates us fight the War on Terror. Whatever. I found this stupid awesome cat.



Well... she found me. Anyway at first, I didn't like her. But she seduced me with her awesome catness.



I saw on the news that some dude brought a mangy ass dog back from Iraq so I figured if that ugly thing can come back, my super cute cat can.



Unfortunately, the dudes who live next to me found themselves a dog and they tied it up next to their porch and didn't train it or feed it properly or give it fresh water everyday adopted it. Total douchebags. I hated that dog because it kept me up all day long (I work at night) and it was racist (she was found by the Ugandan troops and I think they beat her). So I took care of it when I could even though my lovely Mikiface would be mad at me for smelling like dog. It's really scary because she's a ninja.



So I emailed the SPCA and tried to find out if they would help me save my Kittyhead since they save dogs all the time. They said yes! Unfortunately before we could coordinate to get her out of the 'raq, this Colonel guy saw the dumb dog and said, "Hey! No dogs!" then Operation Shadow Cat commenced. The MP's were coming to take the stupid dog and they would take my awesome cat too! OH NOES!


So I hid her in my trailer during the day and in the mailroom at night and I made her a litter box (that she took to immediately!). Operation Shadow Cat was working but I still hadn't heard from the SPCA so I was starting to get worried about what I should do about Miki. She was an outside cat and being stuck inside really sucked for her.


Thankfully, I got her out about four days after Operation Shadow Cat began. But getting her to the rendezvous point was going to be hard because link up was during the day. I was afraid someone would see her and catnap her! But no one did and now she is saved.

That is, by far, the best story I have heard in a long time. You have my lifelong respect for saving that cat, lovely lady. Seriously, you're awesome.
