"Dammit" is a pretty good name for a cat -- even a cat that you like.

I figured even at that age, the kitten was smart enough to seek higher ground --but not quite high enough.

According to the raindrops on the water, it was still raining.

Don't be a *expletive deleted*che.  You've posted this twice in this thread. We get the point.

Cat people understand without explanation.

Non-cat people will never understand.

Either you are a cat person ... or you're not.

I disliked cats....

I got a rescue cat for my daughter.

The cat took a liking to me instead of her, in fact, the cat pretty much avoids most people in my house, but won't leave me alone.

I guess cats aren't so bad...

Fly320s asked,
Non-cat people have been asking that for millenia.  There is no single answer.  You ask ten cat people that and you'll get ten different answers, no single one of which will be satisfactory to a non-cat person.  Nor will all ten answers put together suffice.

I did notice they definitely save on heating bills in winter.  A cat on your lap will automatically raise the room temperature by 5°F.

Draped over your shoulders it's only about 3°F.



I do not know why cats like to be carried around that way, so don't ask me.

True story. I worked late saturday night, came home and started watching a movie.
It was pretty cool in the house, as the wife had A/C set to 65.
I fell asleep. When I woke up, the cat was laying on top of me. I would have been cold, because I didn't have a blanket, but she kept me comfortably warm. I had to shoo her off me and go to bed though, the purring was keeping me awake.

Boulder Colorado.  Really hot day.  Wife1 and I took a walk around the block.  Halfway around, I happened to look back and saw one of our cats following us.  Poor thing was panting from the heat.  The sidewalk was very hot. I picked her up and quickly carried her home on my shoulders.  She drank a lot when I put her down back at the house.

Mosby keeps trying to sleep with me. We don't have AC. It's hot. It's humid.

For some stupid reason he INSISTS that sleeping on the bed means he has to be touching me, preferably his whole length stretched against my leg.

Cats are nice in the winter, but in the summer? Nope. Cat gets kicked out of bed, literally.

I have a couple of rules about naming pets.

Must have two or three (not more) distinct syllables that sound different.

Must not sound like any other commonly used words or the other pet names.

I don't remember half of the pet names I've used over the years.  I have cremains of three of them, Inge of Valhalla, Tor of Winfaldet, Feekitty.  Two dogs and a cat.  Inge was a great waterfowling dog .  Tor got run over on a rural road.  I did not name her.  Feekitty was the cat I described above.  Had him for a great number of years, 17 or 18 or so, brought him from New York with us.  Passed away peacefully, just sitting/lying there under a dining room chair with his head on his paws.  I didn't realize he had gone for a couple of hours, thought he was just snoozing, finally thought he hadn't moved for quite a while.
