How about a category for pets?

After all, for many of us, this is the only meaningful relationship(s) we're having right now.

I have three cats. We do everything together. Well, almost everything. But we go for walks, sit outside in the back yard, spend time in the garden, sleep together (it's purely platonic, I assure you), eat at the same time, sleep at the same time, and share our daily experiences.

There are times when those happy furry faces can make your day. They take you as you are, they don't judge you, they can lighten a bad mood and brighten a bad day.

Ah . . . I can hear the bad jokes already . . .

I have a meaningful relationship with my dog, Den, and a "love-hate" relationship with my cat, MM. My dog loves me and always happy to see me while puss only use me for her own good. One minute she's allover me and the other she totally ignore me, like I'm not even there. Since they are living together, Den starts to adopt some of MM's habits. He would tuck all his feet under his body and totally ignore me sometimes too... til I bring out some food and he loves me again..., licking my feet and "puppy eyed" me....

Gotta love those hairy creatures...laugh

There is that thing, though, of pet priorities and meeting someone, at least for me. I know a woman (a neighbour) who won't set foot inside my house because she's allergic to cats. The thing is, I would never think of getting rid of them.

I tend to judge people by how my cats react to them, and by how they treat my cats. That worries me, in a way, because they and I are a family in my mind, and a lot of people don't see it that way.

How about a dating option you can check if you have a pet who destroys things. I recommend that for children as well. I have a devil cat who is a fountain of perpetual ooze and if I have to choose between the cat and a man, I choose the cat every time. I have a 18 year relationship with the cat. Men come and go. I would date someone with a cat who is a urinator but I would not date someone with destructive kids. Kids have opposable thumbs, the ability to use tools, they're smarter than cats, and they can reach more things.

I see what you are saying and I am right there with you. I think that cats and dogs have a good judge of character. Animals aren't as stupid as people think they are. I have often said that if a guy truly likes me then he will like my cat(s) too. I've also said that if a guy told me to choose between him and the cat that I'd tell him, "Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya." My cat is my baby and is apart of my family. My Siamese seal point died this past October (may she RIP) and she was a sweet little thing. But when it came to people she didn't know, she'd hide. She warmed up to some people quicker than she did to others. It said something about them. My new kitty doesn't hide but she checks people out. I've learned that she seems to like the people that bring bags or purses in to the house. It gives her something to check out. :) Gotta love the animals.

After being in a relationship who "rescued" cats, 20+ running around inside the house, I can't stand the little furballs.

A good cat is a dead cat
