Re: All Cats Have Aspergers

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

This apparently is a very Aspie

thing. One set of stats I read told that upwards of 78% of AS persons are

cat lovers.

Personally I’ve always been a cat

lover. Currently I’m owned by a Lilac Burmese named Felecia (or

Kittles) and a Siamese/Tabby cross called Missy. They sleep with me

every night, and I describe a cat as ‘a furry hot water bottle, with an

inbuilt vibrator!’

Cheers, Ron 71 yr old Australian

Aspie.

I to love cats much so and have always loved of them. i to like the way

they look , feel and act..... but sadly am so very much allergic to

them. I to have been foud to ahve allergy to them years back as mild

but now it is of more than mild. but still cant stop of hugging and

kissing and petting and cuddling to my cat sassy pooh. she is of very

silky soft. has a wonderful spoiled personality. But I to also love

many other pets too. I to have a dog and two mini lop bunnies. we

thinked they were of both girl bunnies but found one to be of a male

one. Not a good things since do not have room for more bunnies yet.

My BF not only loves cats (as do I) and has 3, he actually thinks he is one. I guess I should say that he strongly identifies with them (but he's a leopard, not a housecat!) He refers to himself in the third person as " the cat " and he often will communicate with me by meowing

-, 36, NT

I'd say it was an AS thing, we have got 2 cats.Cheers,

Diane, While I am not a "cat", do communicate with them. As a teenager, I had a cat who made interesting trills- and I was able to do them back, on pitch, so that they sounded like hers. As a result, it was not hard to "call" her to come to me and let me pet her- but of course, she would trill at me, too, and I would walk across the room and stroke her fur. There were others two, like "feed me", that were quite different. Later, I discovered that i can call lots of cats. Some respond back by trilling or meowing at me, and some do not- it depends on the cat. I am not completely sure what is involved, here. I am not too sure if perfect pitch is necessary either- if I were not exactly on pitch, would they still react? It's fun, anyway.

I love cats too! I've got 3 cats myself and I

know of at least 4 other people who love

cats/have one and also have Asperger Syndrome.

Anyway, I've created my own documentary on

Asperger Syndrome which can be viewed at the
