ALL ABOUT INKSPOT!
The following is a TRUE STORY!
It just happened to me over the last 1 1/2 hours.
Here is the text of the mass emailing I just sent out to my email list ALL ABOUT INKSPOT.....
(Please don't let my sense of humor about this disturb you. Those who know me love me for my sense of humor in life!)
P.S. As I am creating this post, INKSPOT is sound asleep on the couch beside me.
And now, the email..........

Hello everyone,
THIS IS NOT A JOKE !!!!
Tonight when I got home from work at 9:15PM, it was 29 degrees outside with a wind chill factor of 24 degrees !!!
When I got out of my car, a beautiful, healthy looking, about six month old cat came running right up to me!
He was as BLACK as COAL and looked even BLACKER against the WHITE snow!
He nuzzled against my leg and I reached down to pet it. Then I stood up and proceeded to my doorway. The cat unhesitantly followed me right in. Who could blame, being how cold it is outside?
He followed me right upstairs and into my apartment without hesitation. As a lover of animals, I couldn't help but to draw a bowl of water and place it on the floor. Then, being a prudent bachelor, I took 3 Frozen Armour Meatballs, heating them in the microwave. I then cut them into catsize pieces and placed them next to the water bowl.
By then, the cat had disappeared, snooping elsewhere around my apartment. Instead of searching for it, I yelled "COME HERE INKSPOT!"
INKSPOT quickly slithered from behind the curtain that is hanging in the archway between my kitchen and living room (it is there to keep the cold kitchen drafts out of my living room on these cold winter nights).
Instantly, INKSPOT smelled the meatballs and could easily tell that I had slaved over the preparation of them!
INKSPOT darted toward the bowl and joyfully munched on the meatballs. Then, after a few laps of water, seemed content, having not even finished the lavishly prepared feast! (The ingrate, LOL)
So, into my living room I went with INKSPOT right behind me. There is no collar on INKSPOT. It's the name I betrothed on it, and I like the name!
Anyways, it then dawned on me. What if this is somebody's cat from the neighborhood? So, I got out the phonebook and called my neighbor Laurie to ask if she might know who INKSPOT belongs to. She told me that it is just a neighborhood stray, and that she keeps the other neighborhood stray.
Here is my dilemma. My lease does not allow for me to have pets. Since I know that the Obama's are looking for a pet dog for the White House, I am thinking of writing the Obama's a special email. I'm thinking that it would be very neat to have a BLACK CAT in the WHITE HOUSE! However, I somehow doubt that the Obama's would answer my email.
SO, the purpose of my sending this email out to you all is to find a nice home for INKSPOT at this very cold time of the year. If you would like to have INKSPOT as a pet, or know of another nice home, I would be very greatful. If not, I will have to take INKSPOT to the humane society. Groan.
All I ask is that whoever takes INKSPOT, keeps the name intact. Names like BLACKY, SPOOKY and the like are stupid and boring to me. But "INKSPOT", c'mon you gotta admit that it's a cool name!
Oh, and INKSPOT does PURR!
INKSPOT just finished the 3 meatballs I prepared and is licking it's chops!
I will even throw in a BONUS! A whole bag of Frozen Armour Meatballs! Now, that is a deal that cannot be passed up!
SAVE INKSPOT NOW and get a FREE bag of FROZEN ARMOUR MEATBALLS!
