#babyguy saga

[ghosttbeef]

wait i have to tell you all about the thrilling saga of Finch and her little Babyguy that's been gripping me and my roommates' group chats. So, Finch is my beloved little tabby cat that is the largest handful of a beast i have ever had the pleasure of sharing my home with and Babyguy is her favorite little mouse or perhaps fish (there is much debate about this.) that she likes to carry around. She doesn't really have a noticeable preference for other toys so we were quick to name this one

her relationship to Babyguy is very.... yknow that one post about the kid that soaked their webkinz in milk and threw it against the wall a lot? It's like that. Finch's favorite Babyguy activities are

Walk around with him in her mouth in the dead of night and wail hauntedly like the ghost of a drowned victorian orphan

Violently swinging and throwing him around (This is how i assume he lost his tail)

Repeatedly curb-stomping him in the hallway. Like, she does that rabbitkick thing cats do but while standing on him. It's incredible I've never seen a cat do that before.

Drown him and hide him somewhere.

The drowning thing quickly became an issue because a.) she would get her water bowl disgusting immediately by dunking him in there and b.) she kept leaving his sopping wet body around for me to discover by stepping on him wetly in the middle of the night. So, I had to confiscate him so he could dry (which took two entire days the first time.) because she clearly loves and cares about him deeply I returned him and. well. she drowned him within an hour

thus began the endless cycle of me confiscating Babyguy to dry, returning him, and Finch drowning him again. She is always overjoyed to get him back and always drowns him within a day- though she is starting to wise up to the fact that I will take him away- she even tucked him into my laundry once for nappies safe keeping.

Babyguy is now crusty and misshapen but that doesn't put a damper on Finch's ...devotion? to him? But now whenever he's out I am giving people the play by play on what's happening with him, whether or not he gets drowned, etc etc. it's really something. Idk why it's got us all in a deathgrip but it Sure Does. One of my beloved friends and coworkers even became Babyguy in our group chat
