In a time of chimpanzees, I was a penguin.
The religious right is motivated by the suspicion that someone, somewhere,
is having fun -- and that this must be stopped.
I just got in a couple of hours ago, and the kitties just won't leave me alone. It's not because of food. They still had plenty of food. They just missed me, I guess. Anyhow, they're trying to both cuddle with my hands at the same time as I try to type, so lemme go give them some quality time...

This is why I can't own cats. I was gone for four days, spending Christmas with my family. The original plan was to be gone for five days. I ended up leaving a day early -- let's just say I love my family, but goddamnitall...
ReplyDeleteAnyway, once I got home, I wanted nothing more than to be alone for the rest of that day. Cats cannot be tolerated when I'm in that sort of mood. I don't know how you manage...
Ah, but my kitties, at least, are sweet kitties. Completely non-judgemental, don't care how you're dressed, don't care what you've done or not done today, all they want (other than food/water/toilet of course) is some quality cuddle time from time to time, and a bit of sun in the patio door window when they feel like sunning. They in turn reward you with warm soft fur and purrs. Until they've had their fill, at which time they go away and leave you alone.
ReplyDeleteI probably won't get more cats once these guys get old and die, but these two have certainly paid me back for saving them from the gas chamber at the animal shelter...

My cat sophie loves me. Whenever we feed him in the morning on a weekend, he comes back to bed and spends time with us all purring and stuff.
