CATastrophe

it all started out so innocently...birds were chirpin', children were laughing...Yury, one of Eyebeam's artists in residence, purchased a robot cat that came with a birth certificate and everything! Everyone loved the kitty that meowed, purred and moved its head and tail...look at how we loved the kitty and took her under our wing!

Liz down right spoiled the darn thing...Bobby made out with it...

Last Thursday evening was the fateful evening. There was an Eyebeam event going on and we were all hanging out minding our business when Kathy, one of our curators exclaimed that she discovered a "white ball of fur" in the toilet! I looked at my colleague Janice and our eyes met as did our thoughts-"it's kitty!" We dashed to the toilets and Kathy pointed this out:

she then lifted the seat to show us what she had found:

kitty was murdered and everyone's a suspect...Yury believes it was "an inside job"...others think it's a rival non-profit organizatiion......please contact me with any information.

I was out of town when this happened. And received word by email on my cellphone.
Below is an exact transcript of my response when I first heard about the Catastrophe.

I'm out of town. Can't see the pics on my treo. but will try to asap. What the hell happened, that is so twisted..... I can't rap my mind around how someone can be so moved to committ such an act. But I'm inclined to think this was an inside job, becareful of being alone at the Chealsea building at night. And it must have been a woman if it's in the woman's bathroom.
I'm so shocked I don't know what to do. She is easy to replace with an identical kitty but I'm still emotionally attached, it wouldn't feel right.

Just get a sheep. You can train them to shit in the hall and they're great on cold winter evenings (or summer if your AC is overreactive).
