Lily's love has been rejected!!

In Heaven, ALL the furniture is covered in cat hair, and cats! Give Lily and Luna BIG HUGS and LOVES from me. I would have petted Lily for hours if she would have let me!

Awwww Lily! I you! *hugs and cuddles*

I don't get how people can be so mean to friendly cats. Way to share in the affection they try to give you . I'll admit to pushing Remus off my lap when hes just being a beggar kitty and wanting food though lol. It irks me when people push him off out of instant dislike. No cat deserves that!

Like everyone else here, I would have felt honored to have your kitty on my lap too. People that do not like or have pets have no idea what they are missing.

Kirsten, I don't understand what your sister was trying to say by telling you she had a baby on her lap before she came to visit you. I would much rather hold a kitty. I mean I love babies and all but they have no fur!

Have to tell you a similar story regarding my Lab Casey. My sister's husband (who is now an ex-husband) would never pet Casey. Casey is just full of love and also just full of herself. She thinks everyone was put on this earth to pet her. One Sunday when we were all at the parents house for a visit Casey just had too much of it with this ex-husband of my sister's ignoring her. She came in the room, put her paws on the couch and gave this guy a big SLURP! I laughed so hard I had to leave the room.

Sometimes it can be tough dealing with family members, especially the ones that are not cat or dog people. Oh well........

Oh my, when I go to someone's house I WANT their kitty or doggie to come to me so I can pet them. My one friend won't leave Taz alone when she is here, she just loves him to death!

I had something similar happen yesterday. We were at my brothers for Mother's Day and my SIL's mom was there. The dogs were next door at my parents house so I sent my niece to get my two dogs because we needed to leave soon. Of course as soon as the dogs came in the house the SIL's mom was dodging them as they walked by her with her hands in the air and immediately began packing up her stuff to leave. So I saw this and took them outside to run around before the hour long car ride home. I will say though, she does have allergies, but still. I hope she never comes to MY house, she'd never make it!! LOL

Lily is happy to learn that so many of you would enjoy to have her sitting on their laps! She's such a loving kitty and always friendly, so she couldn't understand why she was sent away.

I mean, even if my sister was tired to have another being on her lap after two hours with the baby, she could at least have petted her for a couple of minutes, and then make her jump down in a gentle way. But instead, she immediately raised her arms, blocked Lily that way and told her "Oh no Lily, I don't want you today". (btw, it's maybe two or three times a year that she comes here, so it's NOT that Lily is bugging her all the time).

I find that pretty rude. Like several others here, I'm not such a huge fan of babies (at least I do not feel the need to hold one, and I'm not one of the people who make a fuss about them), but if someone would give me a baby to hold it, I would take it because I think it would hurt the mother's feelings to see her child unwanted. It's a matter of respect, but there were several occasions this weekend where I felt my sister was acting disrespectful towards me.

I like one of my sisters much better when her husband is not around.

Isn't it just sad how some people's personality change under the influence of their spouses?

In all honesty, Kirsten, sweet Lily could "bug me" all she wants! Truth is that you'd have to tell me to give her back or put her down. The same goes for Luna
Could I ask you to deliver plenty of lovies to my little kitty friends?

I too would be the one looking for them to come close so I can pet.... I might even try walk past by them in purpose to do so ...

I understand if they are afraid but I hate when people "accept" to touch them but they do so as if they´d have something contagious like flesh eating bacteria or something...

a couple weeks ago we went to this hubby´s friends house to eat... and there was this black lab dog... when he approached me they asked me "are you ok with him?"... of course I laughed... "she loves them" said my hubby... so the dog stayed there... later he came by me and I petted him... he went by his "owners" and they shooed him .. needless to say he came again by me and got more pets... he drooled me, licked me and rest his head on my lap.. I was so ok... but his "owners" thought it was enough so they took him away to another part of the house and locked him in there... I have no clue why... I was loving it and he was loving it.. noone was bothering anyone...

Oh goodness, I hope not or else I be obsessive about vacuuming there, too, provided, of course, that's where I'm going.
