Me: Sooooo there’s this neighborhood cat and I want to put her through TNR.
Shelter: ok
Me: And she might be pregnant, but I’m not sure? If it’s possible to get her spayed, I’d like to do that if it’s not too late.
Shelter: Too late for what
Me: If… she’s pregnant. Can you spay a pregnant cat? I don’t really know how this works.
Shelter: ah
Me: Look I’m calling you for information, here
Shelter: Okay so we accept TNR cats Mondays and Tuesdays from 9-3.
Me: Why didn’t you say that before?
Shelter:
Me: Some days, I genuinely feel as though I’m walking through an alien world shouting out random noises, hoping its denizens will understand me, and they never do.
Shelter: ok
