CATMAN 20/20 FLASH: THE CAT CLOCK HAS BEGUN ITS COUNTDOWN

Last night, the Catman went on his date.

Catman: the cat is in the hen house
J: what does that mean?
Catman: REEEEAAAAAAAARRRRRRR

From his account, it was successful - or so he thinks. Unfortunately, there was no unbiased third-party evaluation.

J: How was your date?
Catman: pretty good i think.
J: Did you like her?
Catman: i guess so. i don't know, who's to say really?
J: i don't know what that means.
Catman: how am i supposed to know? She has a favorite nebula.

At it's very essence, the Catman's life is defined by paradox. By blood he is cat, in form he is man. While it is clear that the he likes her, he cannot see into the future to guarantee a life of happiness with her, and so a doubt, however small, remains. Because additional dates will only further muddy the matter and increase the hurt feelings if he's chosen incorrectly, the Cat Clock has officially begun it's countdown. For those who don't know, the Cat Clock is an internal timer, calibrated with an atomic clock, and set to exactly two weeks. That is to say, the Catman has two weeks - no more, no less - to make his decision about whether or not this girl is the "one."

The Cat Clock has never reached zero, and it is hypothesized by fellow members of the cat community that Armageddon would ensue.
