“Weird thing going on in my neighborhood is these cats that belong to other families but spend most of their time at my house and vice versa, our cats will be gone for 2 or 3 days at a time obviously doing the same thing.”
I had lots of my neighbors’ cats coming to my place, but it was only to use my side yard as their latrine. Neighbors have 7 cats at one house alone. I think I could do without that.
Then there’s one of the bosses at work, who has 16 of them.
Ping!
This old lady seems to be missin’ that gene. (Thank the Good Lord.)
Dogs. It’s all about dogs.
Well, I have known people with dogs only, with cats only and with cats and dogs. The oddest people I’ve known had cats only. But not everyone I’ve known with cats only were odd. I think perhaps cats appeal to odd people more than dogs do.
I’m ashamed to say that, late for a first date for some cat-related reason and sensitive to the single woman/cat fanatic stereotype, I told a man that although I have a cat I’m really a dog person.
My handsome date smiled and said, I LOVE cats!
Twenty years later we’re still together (and STUPID for our two, very bad kitties.
LOL I would not trust a cat with my brain, however.
I actually considered this. For about 10 seconds.
People are stupid mostly! if I were single and a guy came a long who didn’t like my cats then he could just move on to the next person because I’d know quick that he wasn’t worth having around.
I have no problem killing the raccoons that kill my chickens and the varmints that destroy my crops.
Kitteh Ping
I agree. I prefer dogs, but cats are much easier to take care of. We have one of each.
I think pets are a very important part of raising children; there are so many lessons about love and compassion that can be learned through pet ownership.
For someone who pet lover, though, I think it is foolish to try to become romantically involved with a person who just doesn’t like them. I absolutely love my dog, but I respect the fact that some people just don’t like dogs or are afraid of them.
Really? I'm sure you'd look fetching in those pinstripe slacks and pumps.
Try this one on for size....1 in 3,000 Calico cats is a male...

My reply:

I’ve owned both. Currently only one dog.
Any man could learn to love cats, with the right sort of motivation .....
