[quote=TenaciousSD]This is from the trenches my friend.
Before you go home today – stop by a Petsmart and run your hands through their fresh bed of catnip. Keep an eye out for the employee’s as they are likely to ask you if you intend to purchase said now fondled catnip.
If you’re not cheap just purchase a bottle $5.99 Catnip Spray and give your hands a squirt before you meet your cat.
You can run around with a laser pen and try to win over the cat (this is very time consuming), or for $5.99 you can have it instantly fall in love with you. Work smarter or work harder – its you’re choice.
Just don’t come back to these boards complaining the cat keeps rubbing on you, rolling on you, drooling, or licking you. Our cat sleeps in the bathroom because it cant stay away from me. If it can it will jump on the bed and sneak onto my chest and fall asleep on me.
At this point, my dearest significant other cant figure out why the cat ‘loves me’ more than her. I told her – its the catnip (were already committed so I just let the cat out of the bag).
Trust me – you are lucky the thing runs under the bed. LUCKY! Do you like wearing black suits? Well then, I hope she doesn’t have a white Turkish Angora. Those cats are loving, kind, and love to decorate you with their hair. I pretty much gave up on black suits – not by choice – its just that I got tired of looking like a cat exploded on my back every time I walked out of the house.
You’ll know that it truly is completly infatuated with you when it starts rubbing its nose on you. That feline is actually leaving an scentless trail of wet love booger on you. Ugh.
Make sure you’ll be happy getting what you want. The scale is – fear of not having vs the fear of having to live with it. Be careful what you wish for is what I’m getting at.
One last thing: You’re welcome – you now know how to make her cat love you – decorative hair, love boogers and all.[/quote]
Holy fvcking shit…. Sounds like pets are a major pain in the ass. And I thought raising a kid was tough…At least I get some tax writeoffs for the expenses and at least health insurance for kids is somewhat available/affordable.. Do you folks really spend hundreds of dollars raising a feline or puppy a month, even in this economy???
Fortunately, I only have to raise beta fishes for my kids right now…(Two died already…I tried to get the water temp right, but looks like two of them went into shock and died the next day after having them for a year…)…Side question. I replaced the two fishes with ones that look alike. Kid asks me why do they look slightly smaller.. I say, they are sick…You think I should have just told the 4 year old girl that they died? She’s too young to really think they are different right now…
My kid started by asking me she wanted a tiger… (“No”)..Then a dog…(“No, you aren’t old enough yet to take care of it”) Then a cat (“No, daddy’s allergic to them”). Then a wabbit (“No, we have plenty of them in the backyard”)….Then a iguana (“maybe later”)…Then a turtle (“maybe later…Let’s start our with some fish and see how well you take care of them…”)….Guess who’s changing the water and feeding the fish all the time????
Sounds like some folk’s pets eat better and have better healthcare then some people do… Do some of these pets also have pensions? 🙂
