Nermal FAQ
To start this page, I have tried to anticipate some questions that I might get asked
right off the bat. Later I will include real questions and corresponding answers.
Q: Why did you name him "Nermal"?
A: We tossed around a few different names. Since my last
cat was named "Archimedes" and my current is named "Hermes", we tried to
come up with something along the same lines. However, when we watched his
interaction with Hermes, we were reminded of
Jim Davis' "Garfield" strip in
which a cute grey kitten named "Nermal" harrasses the ever complacent Garfield
about being cute and playful. Well, our little kitten isn't grey, but he's got
the attitude. You can get a
short biography of the original Nermal here,
a short
comicography here, and a much more modern biography here at fandom.com.
Q: Why bother to keep him if he is this much trouble?
A: What kind of human being are you to ask this? Seriously though,
while, yes, Nermal has, and will continue to, cost an uncomfortable amount of
money, we could not in good conscience have left his care to someone else. I
rescued him, we brought him in, and we want to see him better.
Q: Well, then why ask for help?
A: Good question. Why would we assume this responsibility and
then ask for contributions to help us out? Simply put, this is not a page asking
for people to help us, this is asking for people to help
Nermal, as he cannot ask for himself.
Q: Is this contribution tax-deductable?
A: As far as I know, no.
Q: Can I email you?
A: Nermal welcomes all non-commercial, non-solicitation emails to him
at savenermal.com, whether asking questions, sending wishes, or even telling him that
I am low-life scum for exploiting him. He may not be able to answer your emails directly,
but questions will find their way onto this page. Good wishes are appreciated, and
he thanks you in advance. Solicitations (spam) are an unwelcomed nuisance -- however,
any such emails received to SAVENERMAL.COM will be billed as a $100 contribution. (Try us.)
Q: Why does this page look like crap?
A: I am a network admin and IT consultant; not a web-designer
(seriously, look at the horrible HTML.) I stole the basic format from some of the
other beggar sites. This site is generated by a simple PHP script which reads the
content from flat files rather than a database.
Q: May I link to your site?
A: If you really want to. I would prefer that you link to the parent domain,
http://www.savenermal.com rather than any of the
generated pages.
