Astray Stray

“I hate cats”, she said a Million times. “They’re always biting, scratching”; “They rub all over you and Leave fur on your clothing.” Weeks later she called, “We’ve got a cat.” She told me; “It won’t Leave.”

I hope so; it's still there; had it's shots, got neutered; they decided that they needed it on the farm...a beautiful calico. Thanks for dropping by again.

This is so winsome, I grinned at 'It won't leave', great job on the visual too!

Nope, they've been going all out for it, too. It's so funny. Thanks for the comment.

They're all bad unless they're yours...

I know of many people who claim they can't stand them but, then at some point...they end up with them. At least one of those people I know have adopted 17 cats and a dog. It's one of those bizarre things. Thanks again.

You have summed up the cattitude we often see, when a cat adopts us.

Yes, it's bizarre how many people end up with cats. I think they each have their charm, as dogs do. Cats though, have a tendency to be drastically different from one another where you can pretty much predict what a dog will do. Anyway, thanks again.
