    IDIOT People!!!

    I know it shouldn't make me mad, she's an idiot, but it does and I know you will all understand....

    This stupid lady I work with (thankfully for only 1 more day!!) has pugs. She's a dog person, which is totally fine and wonderful. But, she's the type of person who "knows everything" and will keep talking over you to win....

    Please ignore the fact that I have FIVE cats and spend ALL my free time here!!!!!

    We were talking about dogs mixing with cats. She said that her sister's four cats were great when they introduced an adult dog to the household. "Her 20 lb cats...." she says. "No cat should be 20 lbs!!"

    I corrected her, telling her about a breed called a Maine Coon...you know, their standard wieght is between 15-20 lbs. Of course, sinse it wasn't HER opinion, its not true....whatever.

    I just sent her the link to the CFA breed standard for the Maine Coon....

    You know what?? I work with at least 3 people here who know everything about everything. My solution is to pretend I'm on the phone when they want to come in to voice an opinion. Works every time.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    I can't stand people who THINK they know everything. I agree with Slick. Ignore the dumb @#$%&. Eventually she'll get the hint. That is unless she's stupid too.

    We take our Beavis to the vet to have his twice a year shaving and we're going to have him weighed. I'm betting he's up to 25lbs. now! You'll have to tell her that!
    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers

    25 lbs?!! I don't think so, Lisa, try more like 30!

    I saw Bevis and the rest this weekend, and let me tell you, he's not the tiny little kitty in the "Old Photo" post!!

    K & L needs to get an updated picture of the "big" guy on here. Our Fluffy is 20 lbs, Lucky is 18 and Willie (deceased) was 20 too. I'm beginning to think 20 lbs is pretty normal for a lot of cats!

    As for stupid people........ don't we all know at least one?!! I know several, and they are all in our family too!!

    Yea, her point was that they SHOULDN'T be that size....

    "No house cat should be that size, that's rediculous!" Its one thing that she doesn't know cats, but she's ALWAYS like that. So she doesn't get that default excuse!! Witch!! grrr....

    She insinuated that I overfeed my cats. If anything, Noah is probably the one with the least amount of body fat...he sneaks Livvy's diet food!!

    It just pissed me off.

    I know a lady who thinks she is a know-it-all about cats. Some of the things she tells me to do with Hayley and Mandy really scares me! I don't do what she says. My furbabies would not come near me if I did! Some people? I guess it takes all kinds to make the world go around.

    Morons!

    Aren't they annoying? My partner works with this horse-mad woman who lives and breathes horses (nothing wrong with that) BUT she also has other pets. She bought her children some guinea pigs as a surprise. Naturally, the children came to love and cherish their pets. One night, her husband slaughtered them and cooked them for tea! How SICK is that? This weird lady also has a cat, I fear for the poor furrbaby!

    That is SICK! IttyBitty I would be getting the RSPCA onto those people. That is so not right it isn't funny.

    As a teacher I see idiot knowalls every day 5 days a week. Its not the men that are the worst either its the women!

    Also my family but I don't class them as human

    I hate it when people who have NO idea what they are talking about come up to me and voice their opinion on a subject that I know less about then what they do ie cats.
