Plus, a hair-free environment would be thrillingly fun for a bit.
yes, it is. Until you realize that the dog had been eating all the crumbs that the ants like.
and I say this with love. not for the ants.

Ugh Kat, sorry to hear that the recovery was rough there. Glad she's out of surgery. She's spending the night, isn't she? Does that mean you're spending the night too?
Our pets have always been beloved, but they aren't human. Does that make me a dominionist? Is it OK if I have no idea what they mean by seeing your pet as an apendage? What kind of apendage is a cat?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, of those choices, I felt like dominionist was the most "me," but meh.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
If you can train a cat to act like a dog, I think your category is "magician".
Both my cats are either waiting for me by the front door or come running up to it when I come in every single night*.
That's worth at least an abracadabra, I think.
- Well, except for last night, when Perkins did, but Dita had managed to get herself trapped in the blanket on the sofa, and needed me to come rescue her.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Mine do that unless I come home mid-afternoon (during naptime). Then they take a little longer to greet me while stretching and yawning.

Yeah, they should have real descriptors like Do you post about them on Facebook? Do they appear on Christmas cards? Do you let them plan sneak attacks on houseguests?
Things like that.

Because books.
Kat, I hope you both can get a break from the surgeries soon. Poor both of you.
I'm probably mostly a dominionist. I interviewed a kid who trained sled dogs in Wyoming, and I remember Jake was horrified that the dogs slept outside in dog houses, with a run. It didn't surprise me at all. For that kid, they weren't pets, they were ... coworkers, sort of.

Oh, mine too! But I can't say that I trained them at all. I think that's just their personalities. Or, possibly, I did train them since I feed them when I come home in the evening.
I do sometimes post about them on Facebook! They are hilarious and cute to me.

Yes.
Do they appear on Christmas cards?
Well, we don't do holiday cards, but they probably would.
Do you let them plan sneak attacks on houseguests?
How can I stop them? Not to mention that all of these answers also apply to Pete AND Clovis.
