Kat Household Replies
I have been horrible about responding to replies lately, so have a bunch. And a picture of my real cat, because he’s adorable.
penig replied to your photoset “Tara: Help! The cat is indecisive and I can’t go in until he does! ”
Cat-owner problems! And if you pick him up and carry him in, he expects you to do that every time.
I usually use my foot to gently encourage the cat to make up his mind, but I guess that’s not an option in the Sims. :)
penig replied to your photoset “Tara called the police to report Samantha missing. The police don’t...”
Yeah, you've really got to wonder about their priorities.
I know, right? I mean, a missing cat is surely the worst thing that’s happening in Bluewater tonight. Why can’t they send out a team to find the poor thing and bring her home?
esmeiolanthe replied to your photoset “The fire went out, but it looks like Samantha ran away! I’ve never...”
Actually, no you wouldn't. I didn't even consider the possibility that cats could run away, so I didn't bother putting anything in the points about that. Maybe I should?
Huh. I thought I’d seen something in the rules about cats running away. I guess not? I would take off points.
katrisims replied to your photoset “The fire went out, but it looks like Samantha ran away! I’ve never...”
Ouch! Well on the plus side, at least the fire's out. And maybe you can get poor Samantha back yet.
I’d never had a cat run away in game before. Of all the cats who could have run away, though, I think Samantha would be the best equipped to live on her own in the wild. She really seemed to like rolling around in the street and running about like a crazy thing.
sims2simmies replied to your photoset “Tara, what did you expect? If you tease the cat and get her all riled...”
Guilty. I do the same as well. Anyway, Tara show have known that there was going to be consequence to what she did.
We should all know there are consequences for teasing a cat, but they’re just so cute! I think the cute tends to make us forget what happened last time.
Thanks for all the replies, guys! I’m glad you’re enjoying the Kat household. :)

I’m keeping an eye on the neighborhood in case that glitchiness was a sign of VBTs to come. I haven’t noticed anything else really bad recently. (There was some graphical glitching in the Jacquet round, but that could have been CC...I don’t know...) In the meantime, more kitties is always good. :D Thanks for the official ruling!
Malcolm’s luck will turn around...eventually. I think. I haven’t actually played any of Round 3 yet, but I have plans. ;)
Yeah, let’s go with that. He’s practicing his robot voice. (I think Robert is part robot, actually. I’m not sure a Servo programmed by him will be all that different from him, except in looks.)
He should be running, yes. These women eat drama for lunch. Any solution they come up with won’t be to his liking. (As we saw.)
Yep! You hit the nail on the head. :D
Exactly! *wink wink* This is going to go over great! :D
Here it is - a really, really, REALLY long replies post for all of the Bluewater posts I’ve done so far. Thank you so much for all the responses to the story. I’ve loved seeing them. Look under the cut for a LOT of replies.
@holleyberry, @penig, @anotherplumbob Abby is actually pregnant in-game, she wasn’t showing at the time I shot the pictures. I have custom versions of my pregnancy defaults in too, and giving Abby the fat state + the outfit meant I could have her in the color I wanted. Malcolm definitely intends to sue for full custody.
@holleyberry - Other than one wavering moment, I don’t think Malcolm is going to listen to her again.
@dunne-ias, your suggestions has officially been taken into consideration.
@katrisims, I’m curious to see where it goes too!
@penig, @holleyberry, @katrisims, @anotherplumbob, and @youdonelostyourmind - The revelation hit Malcolm pretty hard. I think he’d probably imagined this scene happening differently with Abby before she showed her true colors. But, as we saw, he did decide not to move her in.
@anotherplumbob, @katrisims, @penig - Telling Abby off was a big release for Malcolm, I think. He finally got everything off his chest. Abby definitely wasn’t expecting it. Remember when she mentioned that he doesn’t have the temper to match his eyebrows? She’d never seen him this mad before, and she was pretty shocked by his reaction.
I think we are going to see Malcolm building up a few more walls for himself after the whole Abby scandal. He doesn’t want to be hurt again, and he doesn’t want to be manipulated. I don’t think he’ll be soured for life, but he’s definitely a lot more cautious about relationships.
@anotherplumbob - Aww, thanks! I’m glad you like my version of Malcolm. I think he does tend to be portrayed as the ruthless businessman. I think this version of him could become that version - especially after what happened with Abby - but at the moment, he’s not quite there.
@penig - Fleming is pleased. He’s very pleased. He was surprised that Malcolm would choose this, though. Malcolm had been trying to live up to the old rules of the legacy up to this point, and if Fleming were in his place, he wouldn’t give up three generations of hard work and fortune-building. But the firm has all the money now, so Fleming is quite happy that Malcolm chose this route. It means Fleming doesn’t have to do anything sneaky.
@dunne-ias - Ha ha ha ha ha! Patience, my friend. We will get there.
@anotherplumbob - Oh, I think she was. ;-)
@dunne-ias - That’s a big jump. Marry her after one hug?
@penig - She would not have minded at all. :)
@anotherplumbob - It’s going to be a change for him for sure. Of course, in game he has the skills to start at Vice President in the Business career, so he’s probably got a corner office, but in the story he’s in a cubicle. I think having Charlotte just across the way will be a nice perk, though. ;)
@dunne-ias - Let’s see how dinner goes first.
@esmeiolanthe - I think the baby mama drama will indeed rear its ugly head some time soon.
