Nodie & Nabiki

As may or may not have been mentioned here before, Djinn is moving into a new apartment with our mutual friend, Skank Kyra. While Djinn is moving today, Kyra moved in over the weekend, taking with her two adorable cats, as referenced in the title of this post. Node, or Nodie, is a beautiful little Siamese who is about 4 years old. She's about as slutty and affectionate as a cat can get. Nabiki, who is 11 months old, is every bit as affectionate. Her markings are also as unique as I've ever seen--she's white and cream colored, except on the points like a Siamese, where she has markings like a muted tortoise-shell cat (the colors are all subtle--gray, light yellow, cream, light orange). Her little paws have markings except on the toes, which are white, so she looks like she's wearing little hobo gloves.

Now, Nodie and Nabiki have only interacted a few times before moving. They don't really know each other. When they met at the new apartment, there was a cat fight. Nodie won, hands down. They met up a second time the other night, after being locked away from each other, and Nodie won again. Here is where our story really begins....

7:15 pm, Sunday night. My cell phone rings. It's Kyra. "Genie, I'm having a cat crisis, can you come over, I need moral support."

"Sure. What's wrong?"

"Nodie beat up Nabiki and she's stuck in the fridge. I can't get her out she's stuck in the fridge she won't come out she's stuck."

Being the good friend I am, I didn't ask questions, I just went over. Turns out that Nabiki was both under and inside the fridge. She had run away from Node, and wedged herself between the wall and the fridge. Then she got herself behind the fridge, and up under it, and on top of a bunch of coils between the bottom of the fridge and the floor which exist perhaps only to provide a place for cats to hide. Our solution took about 45 minutes and involved unscrewing parts on the back of the fridge, lowering the coils as much as we could while they were still connected near the front of the fridge, and Kyra's boyfriend Zollman tilting the whole thing backwards while I pulled the cat out from underneath it in the front.

Y'know, just in case you were wondering what I'd been doing since my last post.
