Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2004Tee hee...My Honey and Joe Kitty
From the time Joe was a kitten, the instant he met my Honey, he climbed right up on Honey's chest, made himself comfy, and went to sleep. Now that we all live together, Joe spends his morning following Honey around like a big dog. So half the time we call him "The Labrador". He will bust through doors to get at my Honey. Which is why, the other half of the time, we call him "Battle Cat". When Honey gets home from work, if he sits on the couch, Joe immediately gets right up there with/on Honey and settles in, purring madly. Honey has never fed this cat, nor given him water, nor in anyway encouraged this cat to fall madly in love with him. But we all know how cats are. And we all know how "men who prefer dogs" are when faced with cats who claim them. So there you have Joe, on Honey's chest purring his life away, and Honey saying, "What have I ever done to deserve this cat?", calling Joe a PITA, and generally shaking his head each time Joe pulls a ... well, a Joe. (That is to say, sprawls on his back with his legs spread, or leaps into our spot the moment we get up for a glass of water, or tries to jump on something he can't actually hoist his bulk onto.) Heaven forbid Joe go do something on his own, however, if Honey is on the couch watching TV. It may take a half hour, but eventually Honey will look around, stunned, and demand, "WHERE'S MY LABRADOR!???". And Joe will saunter in from wherever and take up residence on whatever part of Honey looks the most comfortable for himself, and the least comfortable for Honey. And Honey will grumble about what a pain in the a.s Joe is all the while giving him scritches and pets.

SOunds like my dad. I've known a couple of dog-men who got adopted by cats and became well-trained clatslaves. And then of course the most famous example is Rush Limbaugh, who never liked cats, who *only* ever had to do with dogs. Then he married and they got a pair of Abyssinians... It's hilarious to hear his occasional typical catslave babbling about his little darlings! How does that saying go ... "No-one is as fervent as a convert"...

Ewww, you can't mean that, Tak! :) Now TBird's Honey is another matter. He does sound like a nice person. You can add my dad to this list of former non-cat-people. All through my childhood my father was just barely tolerant of the cats that came and went in my house. My mom liked to take in strays, and all 3 of us kids adored them. He was helpless against 4 females looking all sad-eyed and saying, "Please daddy, can't we keep him/her/them??" :) The best time was when we took in a pregnant stray, got to see the kittens one day after they were born, and kept them until they were 4 weeks old. (Barbaric, I know, but this was the mid-1960s, and a lot of people, including vets, believed that kittens were old enough to be separated from their mother at 4 weeks!) Anyway, all the while, my dad would grumble and complain about all the cats underfoot, and occasionally he'd put his foot down and order this or that stray, or group of cats, to be taken to the shelter. We always had at least one officially-adopted-from-the-humane-society cat, who was allowed to stay. But now my father has his own cat and he's just nuts about him. This cat takes long walks with my father, which my dad, being somewhat new to cat behavior (even though he lived with them in our family, he tried to avoid them as much as possible), thinks is completely unique and that Baxter is an amazing cat. I don't have the heart to tell him that many other cats do this, although it's true it's not the norm. I met Baxter on my last visit last month, and he's very, very cute. Long, lanky brown tabby who likes to roll around in the dirt. I just find it very sweet that this long-time dog-person has gotten so attached to a cat. He calls Baxter "a dog in a cat suit." Also, there's a book called "My Cat Spit McGee", by Willie Morris, which is the autobiographical tale of a cat-hater (himself) who married a woman with cats and proceeded to form a deep bond with a cat. Good story! Joyce > But now my father has his own cat and he's just nuts about him. This cat > takes long walks with my father, which my dad, being somewhat new to cat [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > long-time dog-person has gotten so attached to a cat. He calls Baxter "a > dog in a cat suit." About the only good thing I can say about my ex-wife is that she introduced me to cats. Prior to meeting Vera, I was strictly a dog person. I didn't dislike cats, I just had never spent any time with them so didn't care for them either way. Once I started dating her, though, I quickly found out how wonderous kitties are. After getting home from work and taking care of the chores that needed to be done, I'd collapse onto a chair in the living room and her Himalayan female, Cassandra, would curl up on my lap and I'd start petting her. A couple hours later Vera would walk past and say "you're STILL petting that cat?" and sure enough, I'd still be petting. It just felt completely natural. Since that time I've never been without a cat, and can't imagine life without feline companionship. Dan >Rush Limbaugh sounds like a wonderful person? Ewww, you can't mean >that, Tak! :) Heehehe, right on cue. ;) Who can tell? A good friend of mine who always wears long hair and a peace sign around his neck would tell you that I am an arrogant capitalist Nazi nip. Another good friend of mine, a staunch Republican and white supremacist, would tell you that I am some sort of pinko. :) >>Rush Limbaugh sounds like a wonderful person?

Another good friend of > mine, a staunch Republican and white supremacist, would tell you that > I am some sort of pinko. :) I don't think my politics are a mystery to anyone within hearing or reading distance of my opinions. :) I don't know if you're arrogant (you don't seem so), and perhaps you're a capitalist, but I kinda doubt you're anything close to a nazi! How'd you end up with a white supremacist as a good friend? I can deal with people disagreeing with me, we all have different ideas about what will solve society's problems - but I would find overt racism like that just too offensive to be around. How do you deal with your differences? Do you just not talk about race issues, or do you debate with each other respectfully, or do you have screaming fights about it? Just curious. Joyce > >>Rush Limbaugh sounds like a wonderful person? Ewww, you can't mean > >>that, Tak! :) > > > Heehehe, right on cue. ;) > >Hey! Did you do that on purpose?? So glad not to have disappointed you! :) Sorry Joyce, I couldn't help it. :) >I don't think my politics are a mystery to anyone within hearing or >reading distance of my opinions. :) [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >Do you just not talk about race issues, or do you debate with each other >respectfully, or do you have screaming fights about it? Just curious. I'm glad that I'm not a Nazi, because I think of being a Nazi as being a kind of perverse opposite of how you're supposed to be. Like normally, we respect court judges for their fairness, and medical doctors for their compassion. But Nazi judges use meathooks and Nazi doctors perform vivisections, so it's like they're from some parallel alien universe. That must be why the "Soup Nazi" from Seinfeld was so funny - because he was the opposite of what a soup cook is supposed to be like. (Actually, I've never seen Seinfeld, but I've read about the show.) Regarding the white supremacist, I've actually lost touch with him - I'll have to try and look him up! We used to have lunch often, and yes, we discussed race relations a lot, but no, it was never even slightly strained or uncivil. I mean, that's how he defined himself - he was Republican and a white supremacist. You can't avoid it because he can hardly make a sentence without including those two very important facts. :) Still, he was very bright and well read, so could support his views very well. I remember the first time we met, I introduced myself to him, and he looked me up and down and said, "Even though you are not white, your race's economic goals are similar to ours." Of course, I realized right away that his thinking was very different from mine, so I picked his brain every day over lunch after that. I'm always eager to learn a new point-of-view. He told me that the Japanese have a good model for a conservative single-race country, and that it would be a good idea for the United States to adopt policies along those lines. Geez, I can't believe I'm going so off topic talking about my non-existent wishy-washy belief system. :) > I remember the first time we met, I introduced myself to him, and he > looked me up and down and said, "Even though you are not white, your > race's economic goals are similar to ours."

Not me....I know who I am; and as we all know, you can be anyone you wish in cyberspace. I just wish to be several entities.....and they all love cats. One of the entities cries over the sad stories of cats going to RB. This is also the one who sends purrs/meatloaf med's to those needing them, as well as homeless cats everywhere. Another entity enjoys the OT postings and joining threads of interest. This is where one gets to know all the posters better. It is very difficult for this entity to stay out of the politics discussions as we have enough agitation therefrom, but for the most part have succeeded. Yet another entity would be a real pest with advice if allowed free rein. It has to be royally kicked in the *** to remind it that not everyone is sharing its outlook on everything, cat care included, and one can only *share* life experiences with others to possibly enlighten or influence their decisions.

He, OTOH, verified the complete stereotype of "white supremacists" and would probably be happy and gratified to do so. By the way, the only stereotype of Japanese I roll my eyes @ is that tv cooking show, "Iron Chef", of which Yowie is so fond. Do you ever watch it? If so, I bet you'd probably be ROFL @ the translations given of what the "judges" are remarking re the final contestant dishes they're sampling onscreen. I don't speak a word of Japanese except "arigato" and it looks contrived and phony to me, just by their expressions.

I've also watched several episodes, and I've probably drooled more often than ROFL watching them. Except for that time they made cod spooge ice cream. When we lived near Silicon Valley, CA., we went once to that Gilroy Garlic Festival a few miles to the south. Gilroy is a tiny town around which are fields and fields of garlic growing; you can smell it halfway up to San Jose. They have more foods than you can imagine with garlic as an ingredient. There I ate my first (and last) garlic ice cream. Probably right up there with your cod ice cream for yum-yum factor. Better than the food, I thought, were the hot-air balloon rides we had. Except big belching flames over your head is quite unnerving, even scarier than being up off the ground, AFAIK. : >By the way, the only stereotype of Japanese I roll my eyes @ is that tv : >cooking show, "Iron Chef", of which Yowie is so fond.

While they waited, they refreshed themselves at the local tavern there, to the dismay of the folks living nearby, who said: "They suck on the bottle 'til they swell up like toads."

We've been known to hop in the car, and then just drive, and just turning where the family consensus told us to go! It often means you end up in a dead end country lane, but sometimes you discover themost interesting and totally obscure places that you can drop in and say G'Day (they'll remember you, since they never get anyone but locals come through) when you are actually on your way to *somewhere*. Even these days, I love just going for a drive, especially if its a damp and dreary day and exploring all the roads I possibly can. In fact, youcan almost hear Joel groan when I say cheerily (as I'm turning into it) "I wonder where that road goes?".

I used to do this on my bicycle - it was especially fun when I was a child, because there were so many places at that time that I had never seen, and not being a driver myself, I had little sense of the layout of the larger area I lived in. I grew up in a small town, surrounded by mill towns. Sounds unexciting for biking, but beyond the mill towns were farmlands, which were really fun to bike in. I continued to do this as a teenager and would sometimes cover 50 or more miles in a day of riding. It's fun to get lost by bike! I realized at some point that "all roads lead to somewhere", and if I kept going, I'd eventually find myself somewhere familiar. It's not like wandering in the forest or the desert. I stopped doing that once I got older, though, because it's harder to really find unknown territory when you know an area pretty well by car. And now that I live in a very hilly area, I don't even enjoy bicycling. (A likely excuse. In reality, I'm just lazy! :)) Joyce > for drives in the country. The whole point of which was to get lost.

Fine so far, a tourist area and well marked. Then drove to the south end of the lake and didn't want to back track so headed up the east side of the lake. Now North Carolina isn't big on road signs or highway numbers. Kind of figure if you got there you oughta know where you are. We didn't have a map. But it was a beautiful day for a drive and the rental car handled nicely. Besides if you make enough left turns you have to eventually get back if not to where you started, to some point along your way. Don't know what bothered Charlie more, that I didn't know where I was going, or that I ended up where I wanted to anyway. Jo > > > for drives in the country.

I usually have a good sense of direction. One day, I realised exactly what it is that gives me my sense of direction - its the sun! I wa sdriving home from a friend's plac ein Sydney whom I hadn't visited before. Sydney is a horribe city to drive in, as the streets were never designed, they just sort of happened, so they are all higgidly piggledy with lots of one way only and no right turns, and very agressive traffic, so you really do have to kno where you are going or the roads could lead you along way out of your way. So I'm driving home from my friend's place and realise that I'm not on any road that I recognise, certainly not the road that I used to get there. But its early, I have the day to myself, and Sydney being Sydney, I know I have to drive East and South to get home (eventually I'll bump into a road I know, or see a sign to a suburb that I know my way home from). So I'm toodling along, quite confident that I'm indeed heading east and/or south (depending on the turns I take) when I see a sign fo a northern suburb and suddenly realise that I actually got up quite late, and then we had lunch and therefore its not morning, its afternoon! And that means the shadows are ont he wrong side of the street, and for the last *hour* I"d been travelling north and west. ACK! So I stopped into the local petrol station, who didn't have a *clue* how to get to Wollongong, and I didn't have the money to buy the street map atlas they wanted to sell me, so I just had to turn around and hope for the best. As it was, within a few minutes I got to an intersection that, from this side of the road, had signs to "the South coast" and got myself pointed in the right direction (as it was, it turne dout to be an express lane, and I was only a few minutes off the alternative way home, instead of having to double back for another hour), but that taught me a valuable lesson about where my directional sense comes from. Yowie I'm so glad you got back home safely, Vicky. Best wishes to you, Cary and Joel, SignaturePolonca & Soncek <snip>I just had to turn around > and hope for the best.

It's > quite impressive! Hey! Now thats an idea! I wonder where I can get a map for my local area that is exhaustive? I live in a "new" suburb, that is, most of this burb wans't here 5 years ago. Consequently there are new bits added all the time, so new roads to explore. However, there's this one house thats been visible from my place ever since we moved in, and it looks like it has a copper dome with a gargoyle on top. I don'thave a pair of binoculars so can't tell from here, and I've set out many a time to actually drive past and get a better look. But for the life of me I can't find the road that its on, and since its a new 'burb, most of the usual street maps don't actually have this 'burn printed in them. Its very frustrating (but does make interesting drives, especially now with Cary, because we are never far from home!) Yowie > > > for drives in the country. The whole point of which was to get lost. > That [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > Yowie Not sure what your equivalent would be, but our Chamber of Commerce will have the most current local maps available. Usually the ones building and selling the new homes belong and help cover the cost. If that doesn't work, call up the local fire or police and ask where you can get a current map. I put 500 miles on my bicycle one summer, and marked off all the roads I'd been on with a highlight pen. Jo >>>for drives in the country.

That's the way my family was, and the way I still am to some extent. Rob is even more adventurous than I am and the cry of "Road Trip" rouses cries of excitement and pleas for special friends to go with us. As I once told the kids while pretending to, "I can get lost anywhere." I consider road trips one of the perks of being a military family.
