u can always smell cat in someones home who has cats regardless of how much they deny it.. question, do people smell dogs the same way? i have two in my apt and i always wonder if it stinks like dog.
THL, this is always heartbreaking. We had a great little guy named Simon who passed away about eight years ago. A real climber and very vocal. Loved to talk to the birds through the window. THL, tell yours to look him up when the time comes.
We have three young adult cats now whom we love dearly.
I can’t thank you all enough for the kind thoughts. It helped more than you might think.
It’s nice to know that when my big boy goes he’ll be in the great company of:
Dave’s Buddies both the 11 yr old and the beloved 19 yr old Burmese
Cobblehiller’s Furry twosome
Dittoburg’s Grateful friend
BRG’s Brood
Bxgrl’s Beloved 3
Montrose’s ‘Mahster” Mookie and her Elfman
Barbara’s (and Dave’s) Charlie
…and all those other furry friends not mentioned that have warmed our hearts and lives. I’m sure you’ll all take good care of him.
‘BRG, tell you want kids and then stave off your maternal instincts by *settling* for cats.’
Hubby will never believe that I want kids or that I have maternal instincts. Oh, well we tried, I guess you’re keeping the cats.
‘I take it he’s pretty low maintenance then?’
Yep, I lucked out with Hubby, he’s very low maintenance. He says that all a man needs from a wife is food and sex.
You might want to get a bigger box for him!
1. you can’t always smell cat- maybe some of your friends need to clean the litter box more often?
2. Some dog breeds don’t smell as strongly and people who do own such breeds usually bathe them often.
3. Get nasal spray and use it. That way you’ll be able to tell yourself if it does or not 🙂

Can I mention my gerbils Einstein, Feynman, Newton, Galileo and Fido? (sent into the afterlife courtesy of Moose?
DIBS- ask MM how she got involved with cats in the first place :-). My Sidney. She can’t kick me out- her cats would destroy her (they love me more)

I really appreciate your sharing the stories.

If all of the men here started talking about the women in terms of other animals there’d be an uproar.
