You suck. :-D

Cheers!

Kipling ninja’ed both of us. ;^)

Never heard that one!

Are you trying to say that cat lovers don't get attached to their kitties and don't grieve when they are gone? I know better than that. :)

Come read post #18 and tell me your screen doesn’t get blurry.

I was just being a cat person. I know I dread the day when my beloved kitteh goes to the great litter box in the sky.

Got her from the Humane Society when she was eight or so weeks old, and she'd curl up on our ribs or collarbone and purr us to sleep in cold Minnesota spring nights.

Nigh a decade later, and she still jumps on my chest in the middle of the night, purring loudly.

I'm gonna miss her: my wife (long jealous of shredded furniture and cat-barfed-on clothes), less so.

Yes I understand, I am a cat lover too, I just don’t have one anymore. Cat allergies cropped up and made my eyes itch and my nose run. We had 7 cats and 5 dogs at the same time. Too many, I know, but we couldn’t pass up a homeless stray. The last cat was Motorola, a stray from down on the Tex-Mex border. Covered with ringworm but that is curable. When Motor passed on, no more kitties here, just dogs. We have 4 dogs even though the neighborhood and the city of Houston limit is 3. So sue me! Our next door neighbor has 2 English Mastiffs and she told me if we are ever told we must get rid of a dog, just to tell them one of ours is really hers.

Thanks grey_whiskers.

It is still good to read. So thankful 0bola is not stinking up the oval office any more.

I can’t wait for the legal action!
