My husband was indifferent to cats, but I knew he had been taken in when I caught him heating up a towel in the microwave for her b/c he was worried she'd get cold one evening :) We've now moved to a place where she can be indoors with us.twocentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15943931484079011720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8428685.post-1117684113690144012005-06-01T20:48:00.000-07:002005-06-01T20:48:00.000-07:00Kate,My hubby thought he didn't like cats either u...Kate,<BR/><BR/>My hubby thought he didn't like cats either until we got them. Now they are Daddy's girls. <BR/><BR/>People hate or love cats it seems, and if they are indifferent, they probably would love one if it came into their life.<BR/><BR/>I think a mark of a truly fine piece of art is that people love it or hate it - it must inspire strong emotions. So it goes with the feline species, I suppose.Stasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10864458542635159512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8428685.post-1117682286357916382005-06-01T20:18:00.000-07:002005-06-01T20:18:00.000-07:00My bad.

That's what the earlier part of the post was about (about them sensing when we need them), and also a post I wrote last week when the cat was walking all over the keyboard. My babies always come when I am upset. There's no disagreement at all between us.<BR/><BR/>That said, the poem was written during a moment when the cat was indeed being selfish, as you understand they can occasionally be. She's not always that way, but that day she was being a pest, and I wound up being able to relate to her in a new way.<BR/><BR/>Now I am having deja vu. I think I had this same conversation with a commenter before...I must have posted this poem before. I tell you, my brain is seriously fried.Stasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10864458542635159512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8428685.post-1117642265653351692005-06-01T09:11:00.000-07:002005-06-01T09:11:00.000-07:00And then I read all of the Anonymous blogger's com...And then I read all of the Anonymous blogger's comments and felt apalled --please don't take my disagreement about cats as anything more than a difference of opinion.

For example, last year, after I'd finally put my very sick 12 year old cat to sleep, I'd sit on the sofa in the den and cry each night. My other cat,who is generally known for being aloof, came to sit with me every night for a week. <BR/>That said, I liked your poem and what it says about our relationship with God.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8428685.post-1117637401076441102005-06-01T07:50:00.000-07:002005-06-01T07:50:00.000-07:00Thanks, Feminarian, and how did you guess I was a ...Thanks, Feminarian, and how did you guess I was a cat person?<BR/><BR/>May this day be filled with even more gratuitous blessing!<BR/>JenJTBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05977180734561873789noreply@blogger.com
