Here's the money quote:

"Erickson said she kept dead cats in her freezer because she plans to bury them in her backyard when she is able to own her own home. One of the dead cats appeared mutilated, she said, because a local veterinarian took biopsies after the cat died to preserve its DNA. “He was very, very, very valuable,” she said."

Alright, I'll give our own Cat Lady credit where credit is due - at least she never tried to conduct scientific experiments to clone her cats so that future generations can enjoy their fuzzyness.

I'm in remiss, because I did some googling, and apparently this cat lady is an infamous world reknowned cat lady.  She apparently had the same trouble up in Boston (caught with an apartment full of cats, including frozen catsicles) and was dubbed "the Beacon Hill Cat Lady."

You know, Ragman, I worry about you.  When any relationship breaks up, there is the standard grieving period before you begin a new one, but I think you have been pining over your cat lady for far too long.  There are many other cat ladies in the sea, and frankly, if you read this cat lady's resume, she puts your cat lady to shame.  All the Wareham Cat Lady ever did was turn the former store building and the house that her parents worked so hard to build into a couple of feline flophouses.  The Boston cat lady could do that in her sleep.  This cat lady is so worried about the possibility of being in a world without cats that she freezes her cats and stores their DNA so that future generations are ensured to have cats.  Compared to the Boston Cat Lady, the Wareham Cat Lady has been slacking off.

Ragman, stop beating yourself up over it, you did the right thing.  She insulted your dolls.  She had the audacity to suggest that you should be paying her instead of buying toys.  What man can let such a slight go unchallenged and still call himself a man? Insult my dolls, get expletives deleted thrown at you. I just wish we knew what the expletive deleted was that you called her.  We'll only have to imagine.

You've told your side.  She was the one who led herself into mistakenly believing the erroneous assumption that she was fired.  You're right, it sounds like she jumped the gun a little bit.  Why did she think she was fired?  What, just because "society" says if your boss doesn't pay you and then yells and swears at you, then that means you're fired?  Well, she's just being a little old fashioned and beholden to silly outdated societal customs.  "Pay your employees on time and don't yell or swear at them."  Please, that sounds like one of those fancy power elite concepts, if you ask me.

And it wasn't you, Ragman.  It was the power elite.  They forced you to call the Cat Lady naughty words.  They did it with their mystical power elite magic dust.  That's the same dust they sprinkle on Brucey to make him act like a buffon every Tuesday night.

You've left the light on long enough, Ragman, and she isn't answering.  She's thumbing her nose at your generous offer to write half of your newspaper for zero pay while you buy toys and pay for old Rochester ladies' water bills.  That seems just downright ungrateful on her part.

So turn that light off and go in search of a new cat lady, a better cat lady, a smellier cat lady...one willing to make obvious observations and work for free.  One who shares your love of conspiracy theories.  And this one just might be the one.  She has her own website where she says she's been the victim of government corruption (because apparently the 60 dead cats in her freezer had nothing to do with it).  I think she'd fit in just fine as your new cat lady.

Life is too short, Ragman.  Stop pining over the cat lady who got away and start looking for a new cat lady today.
