So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

Pretty sure nausea would've been the least of your worries.....

Seriously, though, one of the reasons I love cats is because they don't give a fat flying damn if someone likes them or not. I love dogs too, but a dog will grovel and whine if he senses you don't like him. A cat will walk right over to you, look you in the eye and say I DON'T LIKE YOU EITHER. And then she'll turn around, show you her backside, twitch her tail at you, and walk off without a second thought. Now that's my kind of animal.

You probably would feel at home with some of the “cats" I’ve dated.

I'm not living with a pet in my rental-flat, but I'm still a real cat-guy, using every chance to fondle a kitty, believe me. And generally they seem to like me very much, including turning their belly to me (!), unfamiliar cats, too. Lovely "cuddles", curring satisfied and just are thankful. Vive la France!

But I would not go so far, to say, that cats are "healers". That would be too esoteric, I think. They are doing me very good and they can exhaust so much energy from me, like they need, appreciative.

I share my house with this cat . But all things considered.
I don’t have much choice.

Ich bin nur ein Scherz mit Ihnen.

I Love this kitty. So pretty and nice.

We didn't have pets growing up, but I've had girlfriends who've had cats and girlfriends who've had dogs. I like them both - but as you point out, very different animals. The cats live with you on their own terms, but in return, don't need that much. The dogs really want to please you, really want to love you, but need to know they are loved in return and require a lot more day-to-day effort.

I enjoy them both - we currently share a Springer Spaniel with our neighbor (she's single and works and travels a lot) whom I love greatly - but am absolute too lazy to ever have one if I didn't have a girlfriend who wanted one.

You're only a tourist if you leave the bus station and start wandering around staring and pointing. Besides, I wasn't about to eat one of those pushcart tamales -- after two days on the bus I was nauseous enough already.

The tamales are fine, as long as you don't have lard intolerance.

 

[HudsonHawk]

@HudsonHawk your location is intriguing... What is a place like that is heaven for men and hell for women?

Well, I suppose that depends on who you ask. Just an oft-used description of Texas, going back to the days of Davy Crockett, who after his congressional defeat in 1835 told his former constituents "you may all go to hell, and I will go to Texas". Crockett did indeed go to Texas and was killed nine days later at the Battle of the Alamo.

I’ve mentioned this before that my growing up years before I started elementary were spent living with my grandma.
She owned several cats & a dog.
The dog was named (jake) for some unknown reason & was my faithful companion.
Everywhere I went jake was with me, ergo...2jakes.

Some mean bullies tried to do me harm.
Guess who came to my rescue, every time ?
You darn right !
I like cats, they are independent & don’t take bull from anyone.
But when it gets down to it, I could sleep peacefully knowing that old jake was by my side.

 

[HudsonHawk]

IDK.... Alot of women I know enjoy doing the opposite of what they are told..

Well-behaved women rarely make history.

 

[HudsonHawk]

It's an even wiser mujar who let's her hombre believe he isn't doing what she wants

Whenever I relay a disagreement between me and my wife, it typically ends with "...so we compromised and did what she wanted."

I ‘m curious as to how your cat reacted when you went home smelling of Radar !

Probably gave you the silent treatment or ignored you for a spell until it
came to yummy-feed-me-time !

I speaketh from experienceth !

 

[LizzieMaine]

My cat doesn't mind when I hang out with him, as long as I don't bring him home. He belongs to one of my theatre kids, and actually is pretty much a puppy -- he's about a year and a half old. She's not allowed to bring him to work anymore because he learned how to work the crashbar on the front door, and we were afraid he'd run off into the street and scare a tourist.

He's a sweet dog, but extremely numb -- he's eaten an entire tennis ball, a buffalo horn, and a bag of nickels, among other things.

Reminds me of our first dog, Meagan, an brindle colored English Bull Terrier we obtained after we bought the first house. I'd wanted a BT ever since I saw "Patton" as a kid, and had no idea what I was getting into at the time. She was extremely strong, terrier hyper, destructive, and too smart for her own good. Not really mean- but no impulse control whatsoever. She's inhale socks that would "reappear" four days later, crash through glass window panes in order to play with a neighbor's kitty, go crashing into lawn flamingos at full bore and shatter them...you get the picture. She was the second cousin of the dog that played Spuds McKenzie in those beer commercials. Pugs are a lot easier to deal with.

My cats are a tad snooty and will give you the look that says: "And your problem is?" Turn around, plume up and sashay to the bathroom to shred the toilet paper, for vengeance.

"If a man is alone in a forest with no women to hear him, is he still wrong?”

Both cats and women can start an argument in an empty room.

I've always liked cats but I couldn't have one when I was a kid because my Mom was allergic to cats, which seems to run in the family because I have several other relatives who are also allergic to them.

My pet Rocky was the most peaceful & easy to care for.

Actually, as I understand it, that's a sign of affection in the cat world.

Actually, as I understand it, that's a sign of affection in the cat world.

So if walking away is affection,
my cat must hate me because she
purrs in my ear, or sits on my stomach.
Doing this in the morning means,
wake up, & feed me.
During the day, at times I have
seen her asleep with her head
inside my tennis shoe.
Either she uses it as a pillow &
likes my aroma
or the smell of the shoe knocked
her out.
And she only responds to my
voice & no one else.
I prefer to think it's affection!

Now with Polo, the other cat....
I could be sinking in quick sand,
yelling for help.
He would show his back & comb
his hair, with not a care in the
world.
