Paybacks are a Bitch
His name was Palmer Scree. He was a good-for-nothing thief and a liar. A lowlife. A worthless human and a drag on society. No one had a good word to say about Palmer Scree. Anyone who came into contact with him distanced themselves as soon as they got to know him.

RIP Chester
The oriental short hair cat known to my wife and I as Chester died last week in our home in Mexico from complications of kidney disease exacerbated by malnutrition and abuse. I only knew him for about three weeks but he touched my life in a way few cats ever have and I felt compelled to share at least a part of his story after we lost him. We had rescued Chester from the home of a formerly well respected oriental short hair breeder who had fallen on very hard times and was now living in an abandoned property only a few miles from us. Given the condition of the property, Chester, and the three fellow oriental short hair companions we rescued alongside him it seems that reputation was not deserved. In conversation she revealed a shocking lack of understanding or knowledge of some of the most basic requirements of cat care, especially for a breeder. Moreover she displayed with her behaviors and attitudes a coldness and lack of sympathy which suggested to me that she did not love her cats. I can't even say she really liked them, at least not for what they were, but only for what they could do for her. Moreover, they reacted to her presence with fear and aggression, the exact opposite of what a healthy human cat relationship should look like. It was frankly disgusting and I was appalled beyond words. The property itself was essentially an abandoned mobile home set in a small unkempt lot covered in rusted metal junk, weeds, and a few sad tufts of grass. It had no running water or refrigeration or heat, and was as big a disaster on the inside as the out. It reeked of urine and feces with overflowing litterboxes and trash strewn about, though it seemed she had tried to clean up some just prior to our visit. The place had a very bad feeling about, and an unusual, impossible to place odor above and beyond the cat urine. Natural gas maybe? Each of the two times I went there I was sick for hours after. The bad feeling was of a both physical and let's call it spiritual nature. I hate to say the word 'evil' because it is so loaded with religious connotations, but it is the best I can come up with. I hated it there, and even thinking about it now is making me feel a little nauseous. I believe there is a reason the property has been abandoned for so long, and the ominousness of it made my concern and fear for the cats safety even higher then it already was after talking with their owner.
