Me: No way.
Primo: I know. We have two great cats. We are not taking my parents' cats.
Me: What did he say when you said no?
Primo: He laughed. I think he was just joking.
Me: Yeah. Right. Joking. Hey, he does understand that if they die before the cats do, we are not taking the cats, right?
Primo: I don't know.
Me: Maybe he should know that.
Primo: I guess I should talk to him about it.
Me: I dunno. It's really not your problem. Except what is their plan for the cats?
Primo: They don't have one.
Me: So it's in our will [actually, in the extra instructions I have given to my sister] that our cats should go back to the cat rescue place with a $3,000 donation, but they don't have a plan? They're 50 years closer to death than we are but it hasn't occurred to them that they might outlive their pets?
Primo: Yep.
Me: So now it is our problem because we'll be stuck finding a place for the cats when they die. Great.
Primo: I'll say something to them.
This doesn't surprise me...and I don't know your "in-laws." They sound so obsessed with themselves that it hasn't dawned on them that 1) they will die and 2) what will happen to their cats. Actually I'm impressed you have something in your will (another impressive thing)about your cats. You've inspired me to get a will together...but after the holidays. Ha!
