that I dearly love, courtesy of my stupid twat of an ex-wife (something positive that came out of the whole ordeal)...and hopefully, I'll be getting ready to move back to Raleigh in the next 6 months (maybe sooner). But, as it turns out, my Raleigh roommate is very allergic to cats. What to do, what to do...

I don't wanna get rid of these cats because they ROCK, and we have a long history...they're like my chillens. Mayhap I get a place of my own...

11/21/2007 1:02:10 AM

11/21/2007 1:02:23 AM

There are obviously people in this world (a LOT of people) that just don't get cats. You are obviously one of them.

A cat ain't a dog, and a dog ain't a cat. I've been around both PLENTY, and I just happen to prefer cats. Not that I don't like dogs, because I do. But owning a dog is inarguably quite like having a child; they just require a lot more attention. After being a stepdad for three years (more like 4), I think I like the arrangement I have right now.

Cat's are cute little pieces of furniture you barely have to feed and clean up after. Dogs are like kids you don't have to worry about fucking up in the head nearly as much. Both good things to own.

11/21/2007 1:06:01 AM

Evidently I got a 20 lb orange piece of furniture that walks all over me in the morning, drools in my face, and tries to paw the covers off of my face so he can get me to feed him or scratch his head. Interestingly enough, said piece of furniture knows exactly when I have to get something important done on the computer because it's at that particular moment that he decides to sit down right in front of the keyboard.

11/21/2007 1:08:39 AM

Ahaha, I guess most of the ones I've had have been a little lighter than that.

11/21/2007 1:09:31 AM

11/21/2007 1:10:17 AM

Oh, he's a hoss. And he's right smart too. Both of my cats curl up with me every night too...

11/21/2007 1:11:35 AM

Ah yeah I forgot to say "heat stealing selfish furniture."

YES. Today, i'm working on a project I've been putting off. She hasn't been on my desk all week. TODAY she decides she wants attention.

She makes a good alarm clock:
bf, to me, ~840am "I'm not gonna feed your cat, so you have to get up"
...I was up AT LEAST an hour earlier than I'd have been if he'd fed her

She also crawls under the covers and lies in a ball RIGHT NEXT to me <3

11/21/2007 1:18:13 AM

She's purty. I love tabbies. Daytona is an orange tabby. Roo is a tortoiseshell cat and one of the prettiest I've seen...and one of the LOVIEST.

11/21/2007 1:19:35 AM

I guess she is one, isn't she?

to me, she's "my cat with the freakishly alien-sized eyes"

This is her mom, who belongs to elise:

^ditch the roommate

has said roommate been around your particular cats for any substantial period of time? some cats produce more allergens than others and your roomie may be okay with yours. just a thought.

11/21/2007 9:51:18 AM

Roommate owns the house in Raleigh.

And Daytona is a dander factory. Fucker is a shorthair domestic, but his fur is thick like carpet. Roo? Not so much.

11/21/2007 9:53:37 AM

You all just have to talk about cats, don't you? I just got over the want to get one again....
ambrosia- your kitty is absolutely adorable. I'll have a cat again someday... it's inevitable.

if my roommate were to disappear w/o a trace, you could move in here--i'd be okay with the cats

11/21/2007 12:26:43 PM

Jamie, I've got the cure-all for that want. It's called DAYTONA'S LITTERBOX. Jesus, have mercy...

Interestingly enough, I've met many more people than cats (like eleventy bajillion versus zilch) who I think deserve the burlap sack+rocks+lake treatment.
