And What About Cats?

How about cats? Anyone who owns a cat, has all kinds of stories about it. My cat is no different. She was massively overweight and a diabetic, which we have under control (for about 4-5 years), but she cannot/will not control her eating habits. So we have to instead. It's almost like whatever switch that tells normal people/animals that they are full, does not exist in this cat. She'd eat herself to death I think.

And to remind you that she would sure appreciate something to eat... she has a bag licking problem to remind you. This is when she sees you not feeding her, spots a nearby plastic grocery bag, and licks it. You would think that it would taste bad, but our cat is very, very, very determined. You won't notice it at first, but then you'll hear the licking noises that she makes, which is aggravating, and she will do it until you break down and feed her or chase her away.

And then of course there is her rubbing all over you, hoping that you'll give her something to eat. I don't even really like cats, I mean every now and then their ok, but all the time? No. But then again I can snuggle with the cat more and more lately, but that still doesn't make up for the litter box, the food, the constant harassment, the hair all over everything, the hairballs... No I look forward to becoming a pet free home. When ever that is.
