[QUOTE="Jaszczurka, post: 1339078, member: 17110"] Cats have different personalities, much like humans, even in the same litter. I had a street Norwegian Forest Cat/mutt who "adopted" me. He sensed I was a cat person and rode on my shoulders, followed me around, and became friends with whomever my friends were. 3 other families adopted cats because of him. If I left the house for a few days on vacation, he'd miss me terribly. He wouldn't let me leave his side when he passed on. He was virtually indistinguishable from a dog in terms of behavior. I currently have an (expensive) and pretty exotic/persian mix that's sweet, but she's not as clingy/friendly. She demonstrates love and affection, but more like in a traditional cat fashion. My daughter is frustrated that this cat doesn't like to be held and squeezed (many cats don't). I chuckle about the notion that a cat would unceremoniously eat their owner's corpse. Cats notoriously are fussy about their meat. They have weak stomachs. I test food safety by offering it to my cat. Anything that sits longer than an hour or so, she'll snub. And it takes a lot longer than an hour for my cat to get hungry... My cat doesn't know when I'm coming home BUT when I do, she wakes up and the first thing she does is go to the litter box and then come and see if I'm really home and then... leave. Her feelings were hurt. I can see shedded fur everywhere from the stress. Then she's super friendly and affectionate to see me again. Speaking of cats... working on the Ukrainian wife meant I explained to her that material things are important in that they can make our lives better. Airplanes take us to wondrous places. Having a comfortable car can get us where we need to go. A good quality frying pan makes excellent food. But these are things that should serve us rather than us serving them to serve other people (namely, she often frets about how expensive things are useful to impress other women.) I realized in debating about feminism that feminists aren't rebelling against the Patriarchy, they are slaves to the Matriarchy and a need to be accepted by and dominate other women. [/QUOTE]
