Oh my Gordon! Could I really be a cat person?

We have had ChickenCrack's kitties in the house two weeks now and I must admit I am smitten! Adorable! They play all day, are highly entertaining, don't leave presents behind like puppies do, and I haven't had an allergic reaction yet! Could it be I am actually a cat person?

Oh my Gordon, maybe you are! Who knew!?

Sue, you made me laugh out loud with that and I don't mean the cat part.

I hope I cheered you from you crabby phone call rant mood.

I'm not a cat person, but I sure do like kittens.

I just brought home 2 foster kittens this morning. My lord they are little spitfires!! I can't get near them. They're terrified and totally on the defense. My hands/fingers/arms are in serious danger.

So we will wait them out. I get the sharp SPIT every time I walk past their kennel. The dogs have quit approaching. They will come around and someday, in a while, they will make someone lovely companions I hope.

I'm totally a cat person. I love the challenge of an unsocialized kitten. When they finally come around and you can stroke and scritch and cuddle them (in time) there is no better reward. Cats are really loving and affectionate when they feel safe. Sadly, humans have created a lot of unhappy cats. I am fixing that one or two at a time. Wish me luck with these little firecrackers!

Farmchiq it sounds like you are up to the challenge! You are a better woman than I. My kitties were pre-tamed before I got them.

GOod luck, FarmChiq! Get yourself a pair of welder's gloves for the first cuddle sessions. Remember, play safe!

I am a cat person too. Farmchiq, I am with you. I love to get my kittens like that, I figure they always make the best cats. Isn't it amazing that a cuddly little kitten can make itself so big and fierce that dogs don't want any part of it. The big eyeballs and spitting hiss is so cute.

I love the challenge as well. I use to do fostering with our local shelter. It was even better when you'd break thru and they realise your not the bag guy. Love was usually endless after

I've almost always had really good dogs so they would just look these little hairballs then look back at me as if to say "why?" By the time our 6 wks was up it was more of a "oh no cuddles" look. LOL

Good luck with your spitfires
