Having A Cat Is Way Better Than Having A Boyfriend Or Girlfriend

It's going to happen when you least expect it. You can take that to the bank!
No, it'll never happen to me and I mean it. Serious stress going on since last year.

I hate when people say that. It's like telling them they'll have a child eventually, and that they're crazy to say they never, ever will. Some people just don't want it. *shrug*

I agree with this 100% since it applies to me too.

Kage,

If I could offer some advice...
(No, you don't have to take it, I am just "offering" it;))

Do not shut yourself completely off of the possibility of someone out there for you. I am not saying to look for it, and I am not saying go out and actively search for someone, just the opposite, do not do that. What I am saying is just do not completely shut yourself off from that possibility, from that part of the world.

And what I really wanted to say is, with the exception of that, you appear to have the right idea. You are thinking correctly, and getting some great advice from the people here.

The absolute first thing you need to do is heal yourself, and it sounds like you have already figured that out. And I am sure you are aware, it's going to be a slow process, will not happen overnight. I think a cat would help you there.

Treat them with respect, show them love and patience, and you are going to be amazed at what you get in return. :)

I recommend you try it, well worth your time and I think it really will help.

I have been using animals for therapy for over 10 years now. I started out with dogs, but they have since passed away. I now have two cats, my first cats ever, been around dogs all my life. (and don't ask me how that happened, it just did..."somehow" :lol:)

Anyway, I recommend a cat because (and I speak from experience here) cats are waaaaay less maintenance than a dog, but will basically return the same result.

And if you do get a cat...

We expect pictures! :tup:

I'm looking for new friends only. Can't stand arguments of any type, I just want at least new options to hang out and/or share my experiences... not just one.

Comparing romance to pet ownership? ... I could have both. Why not? :P
 
Plenty of cats at Chinese Restaurants if that's your thang.

Agreed. You don't have to deal with another human being, and cats are much fluffier and cuter.

They stink.

They should have the same laws as dogs.

The next time a cat shits on my bloody lawn the owner will be eating it.

Kage,

Sounds good! :tup2:

Not too worried about you, you are going to be fine. From talking to you earlier, I could tell you know yourself, and you are on the right track...
I wish you well on all that. :)

Did you ever decide about the cat?

Oh, and from reading the other posts here, my advice would be that if you do get a cat...

Don't let it go anywhere near merc's lawn! :lol:

The owner will be eating the cat? Or, eating the...:|

Hold on! Don't answer that! Maybe I don't want to know...:lol:
 
My cat is an indoor kitty heh.

They shouldn't be allowed to roam if people want animals they need to be diligent
because it's not my bloody job to clean up after other peoples wants and needs.
