By and large, I think they are genetically and psychologically not only capable, but defined by their tendency to thrive and be happy in any environment, just so long as their basic needs are met. And I think that's why they are so prolific. |

Although I have changed the setup of my computer desk and peripherals, the cat will simply occupy my lap while I am sitting. If I get up, he will follow me to wherever it is I go. If I don't pet him during this time, he will meow incessantly. Personally, I'm ok with him as long as he's not meowing and moving around beneath me, expecting things from me. I prefer him to simply be curled up sleeping by my feet or something, which makes up the time he's not nagging me or jumping on me. At 5 PM every day, I give him his bit of soft cat food, which he is spoiled for now, and I cannot stop doing that, because if I do, he makes my life miserable, thus, I have to bend to his will. He does like to sleep in my bed with me, although he generally likes to sleep on the floor from around 3-6 AM, and when my alarm rings at 6:20, he's up and rubbing all over me, licking me, and purring so loudly I probably didn't need an alarm to begin with. Then he'll follow me to the shower, but FORCES me to turn the sink faucet on for him to drink while I take a shower, otherwise I would never hear the end of it. He's actually jumped into the shower with me a couple times when I didn't turn the faucet on for him. I don't know what he was trying to prove for those brief seconds, but it certainly made an impression on me, as I do not want cats in my shower while I am trying to become clean. Anyway, he's a total dependent now. I can't imagine a dog being more dependent than this cat. He literally sits in the window and meows until I come home from work, interrupted by periods of sleep and eating/sh*tting. I have had this confirmed by my flatmate. The damn cat practically loves me. It's nice and all, but it really sucks when you just want to not be bothered. I guess the only difference between this cat and an actual child is I can't simply shut my door and bear the noise. When I buy my house, I will have no pets. Sorry, but that's that.

Again though, I have nothing against cats. |

Ultimately, there are upsides and downsides to this, but I think the main reason that my next home will not contain any cats (at least long haired ones) is the fact that there is so much hair everywhere that I actually have to include in my monthly budget lent rollers and excessive vacuum bags. I just want to live a life where I can wear a black sweater to work without going through half a lent roller, then another one just to get out of my car. I work in a professional environment. Appearing as though I have worn a cat to work is not conducive to this kind of business relationship. lol.

Jeremy your cat is adorable.
Thanks Jans for the repeated MILK SACKS quotes while I'm in the college library. This is my lady. <3 8 weeks 4 and a half months (now) and this is just one of my favourite photos of her.
