Hang Out and Post

Woops, Silly comprehension skills. Note to self, *had* is past tense. Still impressive though. Apparently you are quite rough on headphones.

[livvy]

*omnoms cell phone* *looks up* You mean you don't find electronics delicious? Silly people. :P

She ate everything when she was a puppy. She was a complete terror. I couldn't stand her. She's a bit better now.

[livvy]

Wow. It must've been really bad to make you dislike a PUPPY. They're so adorable, you can't be mad at them for something minor. 0_0

[Spritzie]

She was a terror. Beyond a terror. I'm not a big dog fan though. I prefer cats. I went crazy the weekend I dog-sat, while my sister was in Vegas. NEVER AGAIN!

[livvy]

I like dogs well enough. I do prefer cats though. They have such attitude. *z-snaps* b) I love that.

[Spritzie]

Cairo is the king of cat attitudes. He's friendly, in that, he likes being in the same room as everyone else. But DON'T try to pet him. He does not like that unless he deems you worthy. And that's deemed on a situational basis.

[livvy]

Haha, I know what you mean. :yes: I've got a cat who is really shy. But he really enjoys being with people he likes, in that, as your cat, he enjoys being in the same room. He doesn't dislike being patted once or twice, but he'll only let family seriously love on him.

 

I'm always fascinated by the wide range of attitudes cats can display. They can be aloof, and they can be outgoing. (I've got an outgoing one too.) They can be sweet, and they can be mischievous.

[Spritzie]

He hates my sister. Like seriously, HATES her. He follows her around when she visits, hissing at her, and attacking her. But he loves the rest of my family. He lets me carry him like a baby. He naps on my dad's legs when he's laying on the couch. And he sits next to my mom's legs on her foot stool, while she's reading or napping.

[-Ryan]

Oh. Just realized that I never said gratz. Gratz on the mod spot, Spritzie. ^^

[Spritzie]

Thank you Ryan. :) It just became official yesterday. I talked mainly with Anime last night, so I wasn't around here much.

[livvy]

Maybe he's getting back at your sister for hating you when you were younger?

 

I can't carry my cats. It's not that they won't let me so much as they're just HUGE. It's like carrying a toddler infant-style. It doesn't really work.

My friends cat is like that and I really didn't want him to deem me worthy because I'm quite allergic but of course he seems to know that and have a need to be all over me. Seriously, he was rubbing himself all over me and trying to lay on my feet belly up for a belly rub then sat on the pillow next to my head so I had to move. <_< He seriously doesn't let anyone near him usually.

She used to follow him around, picking him up when he was a kitten, because he looked just like her cat did at that age.

 

Cairo is small. He's large size-wise, but not weight. He's about 10-11 lbs. Rio (My sister's cat) used to weight about 20. He was huge.

Cairo is the same way. My mom's brother is allergic. And when he would come by to visit, 2 minutes after he sat down, Cairo would be in his lap. Cats are weird that way.

[livvy]

@Wembly: He senses your fear. :evil:

 

My cousin is also allergic to cats. I don't know if I could survive if I were. I'd be the crazy cat person who keeps cats despite their being terrible for me. :P

 

@Spritz: All my cats are huge. Our smallest is something like 16 pounds.

[Spritzie]

Cairo has always been more on the thin side. Because he's half tabby, half Manx, he's larger, size wise. And his back legs, are longer than his front legs. (Which is amusing when he runs. He looks like a little monkey.) And he has trouble stopping, so he kind of, slides sideways. :laughingsmiley:

[livvy]

That's adorable, Spritzie! :laughingsmiley: (The stopping method.)

 

My 16-pounder is actually the longest of the three. She's a good four feet when she stretches out. But when she curls up, she's tiny!

HunHun was supposed to be small - both of her parents were small fluffy cats - but she turned out big just like the rest of ours. She's more pudgy than long though. And her tail is two vertebrae short. :laughingsmiley:

[Spritzie]

Everyone that sees Cairo is like "He's such a big cat!" But I don't think he's aware of that.

[Captain Awesome Pants]

See, know I'm the odd one out. :I Cause I like neon glo-fish.

 

I need to stop being so weird.

[Wembly]

We used to have those when we were younger. Now we've just got a gecko (note the allergy friendly pets)

[Captain Awesome Pants]

We're getting a black-light for my babies soon. :3

[Spritzie]

That's why we never had pets growing up. My dad and I were allergic to dogs. My sister was allergic to cats. I had a bird for awhile, but the dust bothered my allergies too much.

[livvy]

That's quite a shame, Spritz. :sad01_anim:

 

Laura, you must show us your neon glo-fish sometime. They sound snazzy.

[Spritzie]

When my sister got married, they got a cat. Then we had to take him for awhile, because when they divorced, her roommate already had the max pets. We had him for 9 months, and I got super attached. I begged my parents until they let me get one after she took him back.

[Noog]

We got a dog recently, but it certainly isn't mine. I don't like having pets.

 

But I'm jealous of that glo-fish :P It looks cool :)
