(duh dun dunnnnnnnnNNNnnnNNnn) There is the kitten in husbands lap! Wife surveys floor of garage...very neat tidy perfectionist husband who's garage is sacred has a bag, and a circular belt and a zip tie on the floor ?! Wife asks, are those toys? Husband sheepishly says, yes, i thought the kitty needed something to play with. Husband remarks proudly how he cleaned up the garage really good, so nothing would accidently choke the kitten,or accidently strangle it... Wife is relieved, because it is raining and snowing and so cold outside. Wife hopes no one calls for kitten even though she listed on four boards on internet and called the no kill shelter and got on the waiting list. Wife goes and buys a handful of funny toys at the store for it. Daughter buys it gift for the holiday...wife hopes daughter won't be heartbroken if kitten gets adopted before the Holiday. scene six Someone posts on the internet a possible home. Wife's heart goes cold. The time has come. She envisions life without the perky kitten who runs out to greet her every time she comes. Poor thing was so hungry it choked down the mushy food. It went right in the litter box!Like magic! No more cute little eyes looking up at her. It even let her "beep" it's nose-and licked her on the face. Oh well, she thinks, it will go with a lot of toys and that will be nice ...and that big bag of kitten food. Wife makes phone call. Husband answers . Babe, she says, there is a possible home for that kitten. Oh yeah? Wife hoped he would say, oh no! Wife says, yes.But i kinda like that PeeWee! Husband says, I kinda do too. Husband says, well, you have to decide if you want it to be an inside cat, or outside cat. It must have shots, etc, first, if you want it to be inside cat. Oh, thank you husband!exclaims wife! Heart of wife thanks God for her birthday present, the best most useful compassionate present of all, a friend . Scene seven Wife makes necessary phone call to gracious person considering adoption of kitten, to other people,and to vet. Wife thanks God for miracle of angel kitty melting heart of husband. Every day she goes out to visit husband in garage having quiet time with kitty till vet's app't date arrives for final shots. She finds newly fashioned"toys" for the kitten most days.A box he cut out...a plastic circle off something or other...he shows wife ,'look, she can shake'...wife looks on incredulously-at the fact of a cat hater with a kitten curled up in his lap, and his remark that indicated he's been playing with her, teaching her...husband puts out hand , and says, shake! He says it again, and puts out his hand,'shake!' The kitten puts out her paw on his. Wife can't believe this, she has grown up with multiple cats all her life, and never seen a cat "shake".... Wife gets rid of ficus tree in the house that husband disliked to make room for kitten's food area. The End roll credits show snap shots of future snugglings with kitten true story -M
