To this day, I’m amazed that this situation with Singularikitty didn’t cause Ethan to have a psychotic meltdown.

The cat will eventually assemble a full manufacturing plant inside itself, and then it will reproduce one of every Transformers model ever made for Ethan, and an entire section of the ShortPacked! store to display them in.

Unless Transformer toys have nutritional value, eventually an amoeba like organism is just going to leave the entire thing behind undigested.

Fun facts about amoeba: Early naturalists referred to Amoeba as the Proteus animalcule after the Greek god Proteus who could change his shape.

amoebae are adversely affected by excessive osmotic pressure caused by extremely saline or dilute water. Amoebae will prevent the influx of salt in saline water, resulting in a net loss of water as the cell becomes isotonic with the environment, causing the cell to shrink. Placed into fresh water, amoebae will also attempt to match the concentration of the surrounding water, causing the cell to swell and sometimes burst.[

In environments which are potentially lethal to the cell, an amoeba may become dormant by forming itself into a ball and secreting a protective membrane to become a microbial cyst. The cell remains in this state until it encounters more favourable conditions.[8] While in cyst form the amoeba will not replicate and may die if unable to emerge for a lengthy period of time.

(If this were about GI Joe and not Transformers I’d say “Now you know and knowing is half the battle.”)

Ethan works at a toy store and moonlights as a local stand-up comic. There’s no way in hell he could afford his own place in San Francisco.

Second-market Armada Unicrons are super-cheap. There’s a few on eBay right now with BINs of $20. His problem is that he was released at least three times in identical deco, most recently just last year. They’re effectively worthless.

Now, ENERGON Unicrons…

Man, Ethan is a weird bastard. Then again, toys don’t go away after you buy them, and he probably has thousands of them.

Of course, Unicron was $60 when he first came out (I got him for $30), and he’s what, $100 now? I don’t see how someone can be so blase about pissing away that much cash.

If anything, the planet-cat reminds me of a katamari. Roll her through Ethan’s toy collection, toss her up into the sky, and poof!

Um, if daughter is anything like father, that stuff should be pretty easy to retrieve. Not pleasant, but retrievable. Choo-Choo has coughed up some interesting stuff.

Substitute A for O like romance languages do to feminizr names.

Name the cat Arson.
