Getting used to the cat

On Sat, 05 Jun 2004 15:42:30 -0700, Dan M yodeled:

I'm hoping that I'll eventually get used to Betty, too. I figure that
when I'm finally used to her, Betty and I will just be pals. Instead
of having a cat-goddess/worshipful servant relationship, we can be
equals.

Wrongo, Tak. I don't think one ever gets into a "pal" relationship with
their cat. It might happen with d*gs, but not cats. I've got seven
here and I still consider it an honor when they crowd me out of the bed,
sit on my monitor with their tails hanging in front of it (one cat at a
time, of course), carpet shark my dinner plate, take my spot on the
sofa, help me cook dinner, or any of the thousands of things they do to
let me know that I'm a part of their family during the course of a day.
Sort of like having kids, but without diapers.

I would have agreed whole-heartedly with you until Samuel Redkitten came
into my life.

When I got to bed at night, Sammy *always* come up on my chest to
snuggle. When I get home after being out on the road for a week or two,
Sammy always comes running to check me out and make sure I'm ok. He
still enjoys his playtime with his sisfurs, and loves to hunt bugs and
gophers, but I *do* get the feeling that he thinks of me as his buddy.
As least, I hope he does

Dan


Me too. I really don't think of myself as Stinky's slave. He's my
little buddy, and even my baby. But maybe that's just what he *wants*
me to think wahahahahhahahahaha! :P

"badwilson" had some very interesting things to say
about Getting used to the cat:

Equals? With a cat? Don't count on it!!! You'll always be her servant.
I
know I'm Vino's servant. I try not to let him boss me around too much
but
he always gets back at me. Today, he wanted his dinner an hour early and
I
just kept putting him off. So he started chewing on this really nice
wicker
basket I have. I pushed him off the coffee table and he hissed at me!
Geez! I guess I should have expected it ;-)

I've been known to hiss back. :-)

Yeah, me too. I mean, what else can you do, really?
Vino has actually only been hissing for the last couple of years. He never
knew how to do it before, but now that we have these neighbourhood cats
coming to the windows, they have taught Vino some unfortunate habits. Not
that he hisses a lot, only when *very* annoyed. One time, Dennis gave him a
piece of raw beef, then decided to see what would happen if he took it away.
Major hissing there!

Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr. I have an alarm clock that's covered

AFAIK, Stinky's never hissed in his goofy little life.
Mimi never had either-- unitl the day I brought Stinky home.
