Why do these critters gotta mao all the time? Can't just be because the usual waitstaff is off on vacation. Maybe she misses Houdini, the roommate cat, who's 444 miles away in Irvine. No, you don't want to go outside, it's raining.

Trixie
While my son and his (as of a few days ago) bride to be are off visiting her relatives in Iowa or Ohio or one of those places, their cat is borrowing me for feeding and kneading.

There you are again, consorting with the concubines of Satan!
Heywaitaminute! Married? The young'un? Holy shitth!
Some cats are talkative, some aren't. Some think that if they MAO you will feed them more than they should be getting. They sure are less loud and annoying than yappy lap dogs or even my polter-neighbor's Lab crosses who emit Baskerville woofs every time someone passes the edge of the property. Try to get to the purr. That is restorative.
Congrats on your soon to be dodder-in-law status. :)
I saw Life of Pi and they really are all tigers, all of them, just various sizes. I know mine would kill me if he could, absolutely. He wouldn't mean it, I don't think. Or maybe he would.
She's got too much belly fat already, so I take the maoing as a cry for lost companions. She's settling in: Last night she perched atop my chest as I read in bed, purred loudly, and happily exercised her shoulder muscles shredding the comforter.
Cats are the Servants of the Dark One!
Give me a dog any day with all the attendant barking, panting, drooling, loud eating and drinking (especially the drinking!), the dragging of the butt on the rug...the whole thing. All of that comes with the wagging tail and the sheer joy and excitement of your return from the corner store like you've been gone for a year. That's restorative. No cat ever made me feel as good as that. They make me feel vaguely creepy and suspicious. Kittens are OK, but:
"The trouble with a kitten is that
Eventually it becomes a cat."
- Ogden Nash -
I adore my puppies! But I really like kittens, mostly for their quirky aloof mysterious furry awesomeness.
I guess I am bi-pet-ish.
Enjoyed Life of Pi. Liked the book as well.
