That's hilarious, meara. I'm guessing it means "suffers fools less gladly"
Spike's Bitches 48: I Say, We Go Out There, and Kick a Little Demon Ass.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
We're going to...I wish I'd done a better job stopping him from eating string(Not that I'm sure that's it, but I know he does it and I'm just feeling guilty about a lot of things with him right now. I broke it up when I caught him, once Jackson Galaxy told me what bad news it was, but he's a big prowly kitty...there's lots of his life I don't see. Sigh.)
I tried OK Cupid again a few weeks ago, but then signed off again. One guy who asked for my phone number and I wasn't comfortable giving it to him yet and he got whiny, and constant "Hey sexy, what's your bra size?" messages from guys in India and Morocco that were just getting annoying to deal with.
There's only so much you can do to stop a prowly stubborn kitty from doing anything, erika! Kitty~ma for Rocky, I hope the vet can fix him right up.
He is very stubborn, and I already had my hands full breaking him of attacking my mother(Over 2 years without an incident...I do rock as a play therapist!) but sometimes I had to pick my battles and whatnot.
I haven't seen or heard him for a while, which is kind of troubling, but I will try to hold out some hope for him. Nobody has ever needed me as much as that cat. My brother jokes that he would join Facebook just to be my fan and "Like" all my stuff(There's a voice...it's pretty funny, if kind of long on "Gay BFF" stereotypes)
Feeling SO bad about the times I wanted him to leave me alone. Now he is and it feels like shit.(I really do love the beast, but when my mother stopped trusting him, I think he got really dependent on me.)
I'm sorry erika
erika, it's hard when a cat (or a person) who has challenging behaviors wants/needs to monopolize your time. It is not your fault that this cat cut himself off from from other social contact. And you are not wrong or selfish for needing some cat-less moments. Sometimes I need to not snuggle Harvey. I feel guilty for holding Harvey at arm's length when I do. But claiming our own space and time to maintain our sanity has to be better than letting them drain our spirits until we are weary and angry.
I don't think I brushed him off too often...I like it that we're close. It just seems sad now(even though he can be demanding on occasion, or I know that I really had stuff to do. Or he really didn't need to guard the whole hallway to be happy,even though I read that cats think we are like them and can jump over things.) Right now I'm putting my scent on a blanket so I can "be at the vet with him" even though I can't be there.
