Cats can be, but generally, not 24/7, and they like their space
15-20 minutes of "My human, my reason for existing, hold me, touch me, let me gaze into your eyes!" per day, then they're pretty "Yo, dude" from across the room the rest of the time.
Jimmy Olsen jokes're pretty much gonna be lost on you, huh?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Ozymandias (mini dachshund) barks some, but mostly he grumbles. He grumbles at people being in front of their own houses, at us if he's nearby and we move, at the cats for existing. He's a cranky little man.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I've dated men like this.

Compassionately intolerant
not letting anyone adopt the dogs until AFTER they took a class on the specific breed they wanted and passed a written and interactive test.
If only.
I get pretty shirty with people who winge about how 'hard' it is to adopt a pet. Dude. Living creature. I don't need you to indulge your dog or coddle your cat but I really do want to know that you are aware of what it takes to keep a breathing creature alive.
I love the part of the Washington Humane Society app that asks people how much they think it costs per year to keep an animal healthy. Clue: The answer is not $50.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Hey, all, quick question...
If you had a character in a play that is an Elvis-type, and you wanted to give him a suitable name that is not Elvis, what would you call him? Cheezy or silly are okay!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Seriously, that's why I don't have a dog. Dogs are... needy. Cats can be, but generally, not 24/7, and they like their space.
ahahahahahaha

Ok - yours are the exception - they ARE the space.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Also, the only Newf I've ever seen who bonded with one person
When I was a teenager, we had a cockapoo sort of like that. We adopted Mitzi from owners who couldn't care for her anymore (don't remember why). She loved me, hated my brother. Especially when he wore overalls, which were fashionable at the time. Yes, I took shameless advantage by sitting next to Mitzi as much as possible. ("If you bother me, Mitzi will attack you....")
Mitzi eventually bit my brother once too often, so we gave her away to a couple without kids.

Cats are usually lower maintenance than dogs. But each cat is different. Max loves my lap, Marie is happy knowing one of her humans is somewhere nearby.
