Since the trial is done and over with, I feel comfortable with divulging something that is bothering me to no end.

Chaos, the little sylvesterish rascal that keeps scattering my stuff all over kingdom come and meowing at me untill the sheer cuteness of it causes me to forgive her completely, the one that purrs like a motorboat untill I fall asleep and walks out of my room, has about a year to live, at best guess.

The good news, as sad as it is, is that Red cannot own the cat. If she completes the classes, comes up with the money, manages to keep from stealing more stuff from more people, and visits the resteraunt at the end of the universe, the cat will be a liability to her. If the cat dies under her care, problems will ensue for Red. Again, this is all secondhand info, but the cat is already zoning out occasionally; you can see her trying to figure out basic things like walking across a room... and failing.

Luckily, red doesn't have the slightest chance in hell of coming up with a dime. This is evidenced by the folowing: Remember when she used the excuse, "I can't pay back the disabled vet I stole $8,000 from because I have to pay lawyers fees"? Guess who represented Red... Time's up. RED! Red has a history of credit card fraud. Red brags about a nine to five bottom of the corporate ladder job, in terms of money made. Red cannot represent herself in the court of law. Red was sponging off a Disabled veteran. Red moved to said veteran's house after living in a crummy apartment in lakewood. Red now lives with her grandparents. Red couldn't afford her own truck payments when it was an option. Red told a judge that it would take "about three weeks" to come up with a hundred dollars. Red is poor.

And I'm not partial to miracle belief.
