Aren't they?

Oh, those suburban kids, trying to walk on the wild side in the city!

My first cat scratch was at age 3...
The cat was a big brown tabby who regularly
visited my grandma, and sat in her garden. I thought he was so
fascinating, with his tail, his whiskers, his stripes, and his
beautiful green eyes!

That's how I felt as a child. Dogs were lovable and sweet, but cats
were *fascinating*. Cats were also adorable, but somewhat unattainable,
because unlike dogs, they didn't necessarily want my attentions and
would walk away from me when I tried to hug and kiss them. So
attention from a cat felt like quite an honor. In fact, I've never
outgrown that feeling.

I was following him around the garden,
fascinated with his tail, and grabbed it. He turned around
*incredibly* fast and scratched me. I screamed like a banshee. How
dare he! If he didn't want me to play with it, why did he wave it
around like that?

Of course, people have been using that same excuse for sexual
harassment for years.

LOL!

my own cats have loved having their tails touched, even pulled a
little bit. Stinky loves a gentle tug on his tail. Mimi adored it.

So do mine! A gentle tug on the tail usually means, "come back for more
pets" (which they do).

Apparently, some poor people are deprived of feline company. Sad isn't it?

Nope. By a 6-3 vote the Court affirmed the right to privacy extends to
what consenting adults do in their bedrooms.

What about in their living rooms, kitchens, and bathrooms? =P

We usually just drop buckets of water on them.

I often compare the autistic boy I take care of to a cat, and his sister
to a puppy. She's quite happy to meet new people, and since she was a
small infant was always happy to be held by new people. She never saw a
stranger, only people she didn't love yet. Tristan, though, is much more
reserved, and when he loves you, man, you earned it.
