Five Questions Friday: Meet the ‘Kitten King’

This will be a rare treat and I’m sort of scared to even publicly post this image of Eric. When he first put this on, he literally scared me… like I screamed! I thought some strange man just walked into my office. It took me a few seconds to ‘focus’ and then I started to cry because of the fear I felt. But then I soon switched to laughing about it. So here we go…

Q: It’s kitty season again! Aren’t you glad we are kitten fosterers? We are are doing good stuff… making a better world for these abandoned kittens.
Eric: Ya, I miss the little kittens. The down side is trying to contain them in the shop—too many nooks and crannies for them to hide. The other is you asking if we can keep one every time a new batch arrives.
You sure I’m the one asking we can keep one? You are the cat person.

Q: Okay – you planned this shot, you dressed yourself, you staged it… are you positive you want me to post this pic of you?
Eric: Sure why not. You want me to grow a mullet? David Spade in Joe Dirt— eat your heart out.
Unequivocally, absolutely and emphatically 100% DO NOT!

Q: So why did you want to dress like Joe Exotic from Tiger King? I haven’t even been able to get you to watch the show—you quit after the first episode.
Eric: I Couldn’t get into the show but you have to admit, this is funny. Tiger King, Kitten King. You forgot to call me Joe Baskets.
Well I see for “added effect” you ripped the knee out on your work pants. I’m guessing you’re going to ask me to do more repairs?
Well I may have to have to finally retire them. I don’t think your sewing magic will help them anymore.

Q: I’ve now had two tele-med (doctor video conference ) appointments so far. You know what the best thing is about not having to go to the doctor’s office?
Eric: I don’t have to drive you?
Drive me? No! I don’t have to get weighed!!! It’s awesome. It’s like the walk of shame the first thing that happens when you walk through the door… straight to the scale.
Eric: Oh, I wouldn’t know.
When I was Face-Timing Kerryn and my aunt the other day, I asked them the same question. Without hesitation my aunt blurts out, “You don’t have to strip down naked?” We were laughing so hard.

Q: What aggravated you this week?
Eric: Working with my web master. She is very difficult and yells a lot.
That’s not funny.

Note: Eric was dressed like this, minus the wig, as I was making my way to our front doors to go outside, and suddenly I see Eric bolt for the workshop. As I reach the doors, I see that UPS just drove in! I never saw Eric run that fast! He didn’t want anyone catching him wearing my shirt and my necklaces.
