Today at work I got into an arguement with a co-worker. He came up to me and said, "You love your cat more than your husband don't you?" I said, "No, I love my husband more than anything. I also love my cat more than anything." He followed up with why? I said because it is nice to have someone even if that someone is an animal to talk to when I need someone or even something to just shut up and listen. My "CAT" doesn't judge me, he offers no advice and most of the time he sits there and looks at me like I'm stupid. I can tell him my secrets, my dreams and my hopes, with out him saying a word. He said "But he's just a CAT!" I said you are just a human, there are millions of humans in this world. He said there are millions of cats as well. I followed up by saying, so you'r telling me I can replace my cat then right? He said YES. I said so basicly you are also telling me that your mother could replace you if she wanted to since there are so many other humans in the world. (I know that, that isn't true, but I was trying to make a statement about how I felt. Right, wrong or indifferent.) He said that I am pathetic for loving a "STUPID CAT" as much as I do. He asked me if I would love my own child as much as my cat. I said well I can't have kids, so MY CAT is MY child. I told him that it isn't anyones business how much I love my cat. I explained that I have put way to much emotion, time and money into my cat to just get RID of him because he's just a 'stupid cat'. My manager (which is also my aunt) came over to us and told him he should stop that I could go on all day giving him reasons why I love my cat so much. She also told him that I have always been like that, and that I swear none of my cats were ever the same. Before I was finished I told him to come to this website and tell us that our cat's are just cats and they can be thrown out the way he thinks they can be.
So as soon as I got home, I grabbed Cubby with a HUGE smile on my face, and went and laid down for a few minutes and told him how much I love him and all about the jerk at work. Either he got tired of me talking or he was mad about the jerk because he started bitting my arm.
Thanks for letting me rant! I needed it. Sorry if it's hard to understand. I'm still angry that he thinks my cat is 'just a cat'.
