:wink:

As for cats being men substitutes, a truly great cat can be cute, arrogant, cuddly, self sufficient, smart, loving, vulnerable and interesting all at the same time, all in the same moment.

If men were as much fun as that, women would spend all their time tickling their tummies, too.

Yeah, I'll buy that! :wink:

Hmmm, I dunno, I like living with my cat and having sexual relationships with men. Best of both worlds.

Yes, but I found the article amusing, anyway, littlek!

Can you cut & paste the article, msolga? I'd rather not register to another newspaper's site.

Here you are Eva .... service with a smile!

WHY WOMEN PREFER CATS
- Observer

...and:

But not everyone loves cats . . .

So many cats, so few recipes.
David, Moorabbin

The only good cat is a flat cat. Mark, Richmond

I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.
Winston Churchill

The trouble with a kitten is that when it grows up it's always a cat.

Yikes, they describe me! In this town, I'm almost equally likely to see a man buying cat food as I am to see a woman buying it. It still surprises me. Damn societal pigeonholing! What's this parasite all about?

It is a great article!

well, all of it besides the glossy self-help mags.

But they are such a SUPERIOR type of companion, littlek! Think of it as men coming & going, but the cat remaining the constant companion!

I think about that with BOTH my animals. Both of these critters have been with me for the absolute worst and some of the best times of my life. I have a few friends I can say the same about. I've actually had a guy not want to date me because I couldn't stay out late because I had to give screech an shot of insulin at a specific time. "You are obviously not the one for me!" said he. Pffft!

Glad you got your priorities right, there, littlek! Pffffffffft indeed! (It wouldn't have worked out anyway! )

I know what you mean about animals being the constants in our lives .... My cat, Polly was 23 when she died. She outlived my 20 year relationship, various jobs & she lived in 3 homes. BTW she was a lot more fun than my ex, too!

Grrrrrr! I hate when a guy uses any excuse to deflect their own short comings...Any man who doesn't appreciate or love animals is not for us, right littlek! What a super duper jerk face!

MsOlga - wow 23! That was a well-cared for cat!

Samandang - yep, he WAS a super duper jerk face. I think he thought IO was making excuses not to see him anymore. whatever.

<beaming with pride> Yes, she was! Just an ordinary, small grey tabby. Hardly ever sick in her life & very, very loyal!

Kind of like my sister's first cat sunny. She lived to be 20 or 21.

A tabby? They're incredible.

Hiya Olga and Deb, T'is I. Bleary-eyed but unbowed. I'm almost finished with a doozily nasty job. Sigh. Then I might be able to take a few days to myself. Myself, of course, includes the monster cat.

My friend visited me; her husband also visited. He'd never been here before. We were casually conversing in the living room. Mikey sauntered in. Bob's eyes widened, he stopped midsentence, and said, "That's the biggest cat I've ever seen in my life." Poor Bob. I think he was noivous.

Nothing much to report. What could there be to report. All I do is woik, woik, woik. And take Mikey breaks.
