my cats are just so cute

[Friday]

I was just trying on my V mask, and my cat Ezme (the one who has shredded my tax forms two years in a row) jumped into my lap and stared at my face.  Then I took the mask off and put it on a chair, and she went over and started sniffing it.  I'm telling you, this cat hates the government.

I like your cat.

OMG... you're a "cat lady"

OMG... you're a "cat lady"

Yes, it's true.  I always thought of myself as a dog person (and I do dream of the day when I own my own home and can then own a dog again; after getting evicted from a rental many years ago and forced to give up my puppy, I took an oath to never get another dog until I was in a situation where no one had the power to force me to move (yes, yes, I know about eminent domain, I'm just mentally blocking it out right now  )).  But I have discovered quite late in life that that was a fallacy foisted on me by my parents, who both dislike cats and never let me have one.  Now I totally dig cats.  I feel confident I will wind up a crazy old lady in a shack in the woods with a shotgun and a few dozen cats.  And googly eyes... because you can't be a crazy cat lady without googly eyes.

So what do they call men in the same old folks situation who own lots of cats?  Just curious because I don't like dogs...  They're pretty dumb, they smell bad, are needy, and they smell bad...  Cats on the other hand are great...  They kill vermin and drop it at your feet, they play with you for short periods of time and the rest of the time they are either sleeping or eating, They clean themselves, They can be toilet trained, They are sleek and elegant, and they don't smell bad...

I think you should change your forum name to "Maureen Johnson Smith Long"

Trivia: Maureen's cat is named Pixel, and so is the cat on the cover of this insanely groovy album

... they smell bad.... and they smell bad... 

and they don't smell bad...

oh that was funny...

Oh, but it is soooo true....  That doggy smell just reeks...  Only thing you have to deal with cats is the litterbox (and the pain in the ass that it is to train them to use the toilet instead of the box) and having to cut their gosh darn nails every few weeks...  Other than that, cats rule!

Here's Spaz... There's a reason he's called spaz...  He seriously maimed a chihuaha, and attacked a Lab a few years ago...  He's very loveable except when ther's a dog around...


Here's Leon...  My little bro nicknamed him Fat slice...  My sister nicknamed him chubster...  He is the most mellow cat around...  He is a slut for affection.


And here's is the biggest sweety of them all, my dodai (Pronounced doh-dee)..  My second Japanese Bobtail...  the best cat breed in the world(IMHO) and the worlds best shoulder kitty...  Don't you just love the Pom Pom tail she has?

Maureen's Pixel was orange, IIRC, as is my kitten Thomas.  The cat on that album cover looks just like Ezme.

Hmmm, very interesting question.     I don't know!

Just so there's no misunderstanding, I don't dislike dogs, I love dogs.  Having a dog is on my list of things-to-do-before-I-die.

She's doesn't...  Her breed just clings with one or two people, and the rest she tends to avoid...

When cats squint their eyes like that, it seems like they're just being affectionate or really relaxed. Not the same as people squinting eyes.

I love your cat. I have two myself and I can just tell their libertarians.

I miss my Lady Grey. I'm sure she'll love the eventual drive out here
