Because considering just how regularly one house in my neighbourhood has a sign out front with that very message, I'm beginning to think that either someone needs to anonymously give them some vet desexing vouchers for Christmas, or it's actually code for something else.
I'm guessing either drugs or child slave labor.
At least, I kind of hope it's that, because otherwise they must have a ridiculous number of cats in that house, all of them pushing out litter after litter of kittens. Sure, it SOUND cute and fun, I mean who wouldn't want to live in a house full of little balls of purring fur, but think of the food cost? Think of the vet bills? Think of the poop!!
I did my own research and over the past twelve months, a month hasn't gone by without that sign making an appearance. I guess business is good ... I just wonder whether it's the drug or kitten trafficking business I'm talking about.
But seriously, do any of you guys know if a "Kittens For Sale" sign can have a more sinister meaning? You know, like those ceramic butterflies people put on their houses back in the seventies that meant they were swingers.
Poor Grandma, she never realised the message she was giving ... at least I hope she didn't.
Maybe I'll never find out. Maybe it'll just be one of those mysteries that I'll never learn the answer to. Kind of like how can I gain half a kilo of weight when I only ate a quarter kilo box of chocolates, or how can sour cream have an expiration date?
But I guess the next time I need some marijuana or a ten year old to make me some sneakers, I'm set.
Only one way to find out....go knock on the door and ask to see the kittens.
ReplyDeleteThat's the only way! But are you ready to handle what you find?
DeleteOr you could put up a "Kittens For Sale" sign in front of your own place and see what kind of people show up and what they're looking for.
DeleteI don't think people buy kittens, their hard to give away.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that butterfly thing...explains a lot...probably should take it down.
We had some neighbours down the street who always seemed to have puppies for sale.
ReplyDeleteI think you need to go "buy a kitten".. If you get what I'm saying.
ReplyDeleteHugs!

Go look. I love kittens. I can't stop looking at that LSD Cat pic! Hahahhaha too funny!!
ReplyDeleteIt's Craig's list hooker code. I guess they haven't heard of "the internet" yet.
ReplyDeleteThis was going to be my guess, too. I just couldn't think of a polite way to say it.
DeleteYep, time to go a knocking to check this out.
ReplyDeleteCeramic butterfly code? Really? Back in the 70's we had three couples in the neighborhood who all divorced and switched mates with each other. Wonder if they had butterflies on their houses? I say go ask to see the kittens but be prepared if they have some. Who can say 'no' to a cute ball of fur?
ReplyDeleteMario's mom here: Ceramic butterfflies - never heard of that one. I must have been in outer space when that craze went on. Now kittens for sale is another matter. If it's for real, those people should be hung at sunrise. How awful to keep bringing kittens into this world when there are so many animals in shelters just waiting for a home. Yup - you need to go check it out.
ReplyDeleteI'm suspicious as well. I know some of the other comments tell you to go ask to see the kittens...but...seriously...don't unless you are prepared to come home with one. Really, who could NOT resist a kitty?
ReplyDeleteI am confused on the sour cream expiration date as well. How would one know if it's on the brink of going bad?
Does a family live there? Because then it could be code for "the parents are going out, party at my house tonight".
ReplyDeleteI never know the meanings of these secret codes. Maybe they are cat hoarders.
ReplyDeleteLove,

Not too long ago I heard that a SWAT team was in position near a restaurant I've visited a number of times. A few blocks in that area were then evacuated. A guy in one of the nearby houses had a meth lab and was threatening to blow it up. It's a nice area!
DeleteKellie,
ReplyDeleteSinister and strange things do happen in a regular neighbourhood. Yes, behind an ordinary front door drug dealers could be growing marijuana (I seem to remember writing a blog post about such neighbours!) or on the other hand, cats might just be having lots of kittens. Who knows?
Anyway, I stopped by to wish you a very merry Christmas and to thank you for reading my posts this year,. It is always lovely to see you on my blog! Thank you.
The statement about the ceramic butterflies stopped me from reading any farther for a minute. I have never heard of that before, and it is quite shocking. So people would see the butterfly, and go knocking on complete strangers' doors, to hook up? Why do that to the poor, beautiful butterfly?
ReplyDeleteAs for the cat situation...no clue. I can only wish you luck. And ask, "Who BUYS a cat? I thought all cats were free."
Oh sure, I hang "Children For Sale" on my door and it's considered "slave trading," but someone hangs "Kittens For Sale" and that's "cute" and "adorable."
ReplyDelete(I have no idea what else it could mean. Sex trade slang? Kitten = ...uh, something else cat related?)
Prostitution? It'd be interesting to go over there and just see. Say you may be interested in a furry little kitten and see how they'd respond, ha ha ha. I for one want a real kitten. So I'd go over there myself just to take a looky see. I used to think we had a drug house down the street. Too many visitors, too many cars parked out there, such a crowd over there. But I now think they have a child day care there. They just don't advertise it out front or anything. I did see the FBI on their doorstep one day. I knew it was the FBI, because of the way they were standing, legs spread apart, hands behind their backs, back perfectly straight sporting that buzz cut and a gun not entirely concealed in seat of their pants. Freaked me out. I think somebody else suspected drugs too.
ReplyDeleteThat's just weird. Do you ever see anyone leaving with cats?
ReplyDeleteThere are other words besides "kittens" that are associated with felines, if you get my message. I think I'd stay far, far away.

Oh my, now I know why your blog is called delightfully ludicrous. This was hilarious! Don't have an answer for you but if you ever get a hint let us know!
