We have a cat already. Unfortunately, he's not very affectionate and he likes to

" ambush " the kids and bite their legs when they walk by. I don't think my son

is much of a cat person.

We've toyed with the idea of a dog for a long time, but neither of us feels

ready to make that commitment. The kids have begged for one.

What about a cat? Cats will pretty much go to anyone who will give them a

little love - they especially will pick out the one person in a room of 20 who

HATES cats.. hahaha I truly don't know how they manage to do this, but it'll

happen every time.

The plus side to a cat is that you can take off & leave them alone for up to

3 days & not have to worry... just don't get them used to canned food. My

cat only ate dry food for as long as I had him. I put a big casserole dish of

water out, another of dry food... made sure the litter box was clean and we

were good for 3 days with out worrying about him. Kind of the best of both

worlds.

We're going to surprise our dd with a cat for her 16th birthday (May 1st).

I'd love to give her a dog, but (as much as I hate to admit it.. hee hee

hee....) I think my husband is right - she'll be going to college in just a

couple years - and if she moves out of state, or far away & lives in a dorm or

something... who gets stuck with the pet???? We do!! Not that we don't like

animals, I think my husband is afraid of being tied down to a dog - or extra

expense to kennel it when we go.... you know. I guess he's right. I would

still love to have a little lap dog of some kind.

Bummer. My girlfriend had a cat just like that when I was in high

school....his name was (most appropriately) Mean Joe Green. He would hide in

the

upper doorway of the horse stall doors (you know how the top doors open

separately so you can see in but the horses can't get out...) and as you walked

by he

would attack your HEAD!!! We never knew why either - everyone was always

nice to the cat as it grew up - it was just a Psycho Pussy.

Nice to find someone near me to be able to gain support and share. I

hope to hear from you on IM and or email.

Thank you so much.

I am so grateful for this group.

Oh,that's too bad. We can't make it either! I would drive every other

weekend somewhere for dd, but 8 hours is a bit much!

Maybe you could call the person who organizes the support group, explain

you

can't attend but perhaps some of the kids would like to email with your

son??
