more comfortable with cats

[catfancier]

I'm so glad that you have found your true love! There is nothing nicer than the companionship and adoration that cats provide (and vice versa of course!). I am sorry about your previous relationship however you can now look onwards and upwards and enjoy the special relationship that you have with your cats. {{Strength}} to you and lots of scritchies to your kitties

There's something about an affectionate kitty purring us to sleep every night. I find I can't nod out until Groucho jumps up on the bed and settles in. Our kitties show us their love in so many ways!

Mrscat,

I have found my soulmate as well. He's next to me under the covers with his bald head on HIS pillow every single night. I can't sleep without him there, my arms wrapped around him while he purrs me off to lala land. He's more of a souldmate than ANY of the men I've dated, and his name is MooShoo.

I'm glad you are able to get a good night's sleep with your furbabies.

Eva, the same thing happened to me. When push came to shove, I chose my Don Juan, and I certainly made the right choice. He cuddles, he doesn't insist I pay for everything in the house (although I do), doesn't complain when I'm at rehearsals late and doesn't insist on watching Lou Dobbs every night.

Chalk up another cat-pair-bonder here. Men can be sweet, but they need SO much, far more than I'm in a position to offer in good faith. And cats don't possess that all-too-human trait of crippling themselves physically, mentally, or emotionally so as to reduce their responsibility in a household. They need what they need, respond to clear signals, and we're not socially trained to turn to them for the "missing pieces" of ourselves. It's just much easier for a woman in my cultural context to have a healthy relationship with a cat than with another human. And, of course, it helps that my little ("little?" Well, he's littler than me) Smudge is the sweetest cat of them all!

Love, Columbine

How absolutely amazing that not one but several of you have found the comfort of a feline companion over a man...... I feel that I would be the same way if I wouldn't have found a man that loves them as much as I do!!!! He does however know that my felines are my world and they are the same for him.... Otherwise I would be on the kitty band wagon I am sure of it. I was one of the fortunate people to find a man that loves them as much as I do! Although I do however sleep with my kitties rather than my noisy husband their noise is much more calming So glad to hear that they have a calming effect on you....As they are on me.....

I hear you! I know that, if I ever marry again or get into a serious relationship (live-in), that man will have to see Oscar cuddle up next to my head on my pillow each morning, purr, clamp an "arm" across my face, and proceed to clean/sandpaper my nose, and think it is CUTE!

Ain't holding my breath on that one!

And now from a mans View.
I have too agree that it is so nice too be purred to sleep. Even better when
you have more than one. Best when you get a chorus of 3 or more.
It's nice not hearing that it's too cold or too hot.
It's nice too have a snuggle and a kiss first thing in the morning.
It's nice when you come home from work and they meet you at the door
waiting for a scratch and a hug.
It's nice when you are tired and just what to watch TV too have a nice
snuggle and purr.
It’s nice to have a warm body snuggle when you are not feeling well.
It’s nice too be awakened with a kiss. ( I still don’t know how they tell time)
It’s nice to be told that maybe that mid-nite snack should be shared, so you do get too fat.

Believe me I know Lucy and I are going on 23 years but it took two divorces to find her.
