I came home to find this guy in my apartment. Anyone know anything about owls? It's acting like it knows me! Like, IT'S WAVING!

well, looks like you have a new friend!
in which case, your cat and the owl might have to learn to get along

[blondferret]

My can't is kind of an ass and super territorial.From what I can tell the owl won't eat it, but this situation could get interesting.

[vitis]

haha, that's almost funny
but hopefully, either your cat learns to share or else just realizes the owl's the bigger of the two of em
also, you gotta work on giving your owl a name

[blondferret]

You wouldn't happen to know how to check an owls gender would you? I would hate to give it a name that doesn't fit it's gender. Perhaps a gender neutral name?

[vitis]

dunno too much about owls, admittedly. (i could only help you with livestock and whatnot there, sorry!)
i'm sure you've been told about the bird sanctuaries and wherever else; they might be able to help you out?

[blondferret]

Is there anybody at the bird sanctuary you think I should specifically talk to?

[vitis]

not really
you bring in a bird as big as that, though, and i'm sure they'd be clamoring for your attention

[blondferret]

I gather they don't get much traffic over there.

[vitis]

dunno, can't say i really frequent the place, either.
just not many guys go around claiming a new eagle owl as a pet, though, you know?

[blondferret]

I'm not sure how I feel about being the only one to get an exotic pet from Retrospec. Yeah, I'll keep it, but it's odd don't you think?

[vitis]

odd, maybe
but real neat
there could definitely be worse stuff to get, wouldn't you think

[blondferret]

I wouldn't know, this is the first thing Retrospec has sent me.

[vitis]

you've gotta have heard of the other stuff though, right
people getting bent spoons, weird costumes, screwed up arms

[blondferret]

Um...no. One of my friends got a phone and another a motorcycle. Though if we are going to talk about clothing, an acquaintance did get a freaky set of shoes. I haven't met anyone else who has gotten an animal though.

[vitis]

what made em freaky? did they have fangs or something?

[ considering his other offhand knowledge is just from browsing through older retrospec posts, he must've missed anything to do with that one... ]

[blondferret]

The shoes wrapped up and around her legs and turn into boots. It scared the crap out of her and she couldn't get them off for a while.

[vitis]

[ ... ]

all right
that does sound a bit worse than fangs

[blondferret]

Yeah, luckily she was able to find helping removing them.
