LOL.  Yah, "your" cat, the one that owns you.  We know how that goes.

No.  Why do you ask?

  Well I see these cat vids posted by you and you bring up Gunsmith and the cat so I figured you either had a new one or you're getting close to a new one.

Oh, hell no.  Bite yer tongue.

Did you watch those two vids?  That's exactly how it is living with a cat.  I loved both and love the remaining one, as does Gunsmith, but after he goes to his final reward, I'm done.  Maybe not forever, but at least until I forget Belfry waking me up by biting my hair, his chewing my iPod cord at every opportunity, Hobbes hawking the door for his main chance to run the hell out thereby giving me a heart attack, and the having to clean the damn litterboxes.  Maybe.

And once I saw the website of people hanging signs around their dogs' necks proclaiming their sins, most of which consist of poop eating -- their own and the cats' -- thaaat's not happenin' either.

Pets are perpetual two year olds who never grow up and leave for college.

Damn, I must have a good cat, he pulls any of that stuff and all nine lives might expire at once.  He might walk past me in the dark of night and give my face a sniff on his way to the bedroom window but that's about it.  He either camps out at the foot of the bed (sometimes between my feet) or he is elsewhere.  Before I get up I can hear him running about downstairs but that doesn't bother me.  And he has not tore up anything since being a kitten.  Once I took his berries and front claws away he settled down a bit.  Now middle-aged he's fairly mellow with only occassional bursts of manic behavior.  He still is curious and has to investigate everything and a normally closed door being opened means its time for him to snoop and he'll come to me only when he wants to curl in my lap, if I have to grab him for any reason (going to the Vet (which is sheer hell) or giving medicine etc I have to ambush him, else he'll bolt.  Being primarily a dog person it has been a learning experience owning a cat, but he's got plenty of character and is fun to tease with the laser pointer.  And what he dreams about (probably taking me down!) I dunno, but from his grunts and twitches and spasms he's having a blast.  I swear he sleeps 22 hours a day and he lives the life of Riley.  Sometimes I wonder who owns this house...

That's it - he isn't even my cat - I'm just the janitorial staff who feeds and cleans up after him.

Sounds like you have a good one, the typical, independent, "just feed me and we'll be fine" sort.  (Hat tip on getting him in the carrier for the vet visit:  once you catch him, put him in butt first.)

I don't know your particulars, but all of our house kitties came to us as kittens, and the older they got, the needier they get.  They turn into very selfish, persistent, clingy dogs.

Still one of my favorite cat videos. It's more like wishful thinking...

In a doomsday scenario, hippies will be among the first casualties. So not everything about doomsday will be bad.
