It's not cats as a whole, I think, but their individual cat personalities that bug. Combine that with most cats' innate ability to latch onto the one person in the room who doesn't like cats, and ... hee.<br /><br />That happened to my mother this past weekend. We were visiting my aunt's house and they have a crazy Maltese and a laid-back peach-colored tiger cat. The dog usually jumps up and yaps in your lap, and the cat sits and looks at you and bonks your leg twice and walks off. Well, my mother, who would never ever be cruel to an animal but is not a fool about them like I am, sat in a chair to talk and visit.<br /><br />This previously nonchalant cat proceeded to lie all over her, purring, rubbing, singing, yowing; it was hilarious. This "I LOVES YOU I DO I REALLY LOVES YOU" routine went on for a while and then the cat left. And then he came back, 20 minutes later, ignoring everyone else's "here kitty kitty kitty" pleas, and crawled back onto my mother for an "I STILL LOVES YOU, I DO, I STILL LOVES YOU, DO YOU LOVES ME" update. So funny! (Even to her.)<br /><br />I don't guess we should ever let you see Prince HarryCat's toy mice, should we?

There are those...I most definitely am a dog person. There are those of us who have both, but, the bottom line is that your love goes to either one or the other. <br /><br />I dreamed last night that one of the cats caught a mouse and I guess that was the Lord's way of reminding me why they serve some sort of purpose here, besides making me mad. I have a thing about mice.Sharon Colliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15715688883890196464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11442941.post-2872787777380027432006-09-01T22:40:00.000-05:002006-09-01T22:40:00.000-05:00Dog person.

Unless one of them is a freak and likes to be squirted with water, they will soon avoid you like the plague.<br /><br />Calvin the CatBastard gets the hose everytime he moves toward the furniture and he has just about stopped doing it. Homer RainCat loves water and will follow you around waiting to get squirted-freak.saraclarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12626146324187269115noreply@blogger.com
