Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2005My possessive Dusty ...
Again, I gotta say, I have NEVER had a cat as POSSESSIVE as my Dusty. Always at my side ... in bed ... at the dinner table ... at the computer ... on the couch ... in the freakin BATHROOM ... I'm sure if she could handle WATER she'd be sitting beside me in the shower. If I cough or sneeze, she is there, literally in my face, making sure I am OK. If Oreo is laying on the floor and I stop and reach down to give him an ear rub, she will PURPOSELY and with malice(?) get in between us. If I'm on the couch petting the Cosmo cat, she will very CASUALLY walk over and intimidate him off of HIS couch so we can be alone. It is very funny. And she is definately a 'man's cat'. She seems to prefer the company of men. She will (again) PURPOSELY and with malice(?) - if a 'female' talks to her or tries to touch her - turn her back towards the 'other woman' and give her REAL cattitude (you know that "I'm not gonna look at you" stance). The really strange thing is, when she goes into a heat, she pretty much has NOTHING to do with me - but when my sister comes by, she coos and chirps and rubs her face all over her. Especially her shoes. But only when she is in heat. Does that mean she leads an 'alternative lifestyle' with a shoe fetish? She really is the one that I will remember the rest of my life. I know it sounds corny for a somewhat-middle-aged hetero male but, since the moment she found me, I was all HERS. Even my mom laughed at how she controls the boys (cats) and mom says she controls ME too. Little wench. > Again, I gotta say, I have NEVER had a cat as POSSESSIVE as my Dusty. > Always at my side ... in bed ... at the dinner table ... at the [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > > Little wench.

I think she would make a great mom cat and was looking for someone with a beautiful clean male, but it never materialized. So I DO have to get her spayed, I know it.

Newborn kittens are so sweet and it is a wonderful experience to watch them grow. But!!! be sure you are able to find them proper homes or keep them yourself. It can be costly and sometimes heartbreaking. MLB [[Ya know what> I kept thinking how much I would love to see her being a mommy.

BUT... if you have any doubt about how many more pets there are than good homes for pets, visit some animal shelters and see the perfectly good pets who are in need of a home. Some of whom will be euthanized, even though they're perfectly healthy, because a home was not found for them in time. Then think again about whether you want to potentially add to the pet overload in the world by not having her spayed. Having just adopted two cats from a shelter last month, and feeling terrible that I had to leave a lot of other, equally worthy cats behind, I've got this on my mind. So forgive me if I'm on a soapbox a bit. Donna > Ya know what> I kept thinking how much I would love to see her being a > mommy.

All other very valid arguments aside, and from experience, if you breed a pet you WILL change its personality. It will become more self involved and also centered on its offspring. If Dusty has kittens she will either have to change her relationship with you or she will not be a good mother. I don't think you want either of those things.

Tallulah's personality changed after Hubert was born and they became inside kitties. She's still an affectionate kittycat, but not nearly to the extent that she was at first. I'd thought it was because she was more secure and didn't need to be clingy any more, but maybe it was actually because she became more Hubert-centric. Hmmm. You've given me a new angle on my constant kitty pondering. :-) ------ Krista > She really is the one that I will remember the rest of my life.

It doesn't sound corny to me, you sound like the kind of man I'd want to introduce to my friends and seek out as a friend. Julie Aww thanks Julie. |
