After cat-sitting for a friend for the past three nights, I am rethinking my desire of getting another cat, as for the past three nights kitty has awakened me in the middle of the night with his constant yowling, just for the sake of hearing his own voice. I can hear him through ear plugs, a closed bedroom door, and a fan in the window on medium speed. Sorry kitty, tonight you will be banished two floors down to the basement.
Having a companion animal is--or should be--a lifetime commitment. Like children, they can be expensive and annoying. They bring with them their own personalities and quirks. For all your little charge knows, he's been forever abandoned by a loved one. I think your impulse not to get a cat is a sound one.Quote:

I have a very lovely cat who is very sweet and very affectionate but she is needy and constantly wants to be petted. But I deal with it. My dog is a barker. And a digger. But I love them both and have made a lifetime commitment to them so whatever issues come up, we will work through them even if that only means me learning to accept the issues.
Once you learn to love your kitty you'll be ok being patient as you work on any problems that arise.
Plus, you know how many kitties need homes.
I would advise you getting a young kitten (6-8 weeks) when you do get a cat.
Good luck, whatever you decide.
On Saturdays, I usually bring home a "treat" for lunch--I went two different places and both were running late with opening, so weren't ready to serve :(. I had ice cream in the trunk, so I only had so much time for errands... Also, my Internet has been in and out for days. I have a back-up in place, but it's expensive and not nearly as good bandwidth.
For people for whom "organic" produce is important, why don't you learn what that term it means? No the local farmers are not automatically "organic." No DH's garden produce is not "organic." It's pretty unlikely that you are going to find certified "organic" at most fresh produce venues.
Political &/or religious posts on Facebook. I don't care what your belief/persuasion is - you can't have a reasonable discussion there.
Facebook in general. Although it can be useful for keeping up with old friends, and former classmates, it can also be a big time-suck and a source of misunderstandings. I deactivated my account today, when I realized that I was getting ready to respond to someone's post with an argument. Totally stupid, and not the place to do it. I'll probably get around to deleting my account altogether, when I have more time.
I wonder if we're the only nation in the northern hemisphere that doesn't get a summer?
I'll trade you ours...Quote:
