    That guy wouldn't last five minutes in my house! Has he no respect??? Sowa, you need a sign on your door...

    This house is maintained for the comfort and security of my dogs and cats.
    If you cannot accept that, then you cannot accept me.

    You obviously are a very patient person. I on the other hand am not nearly as patient as I used to be.

    If I had a friend (or a friend of boyfriend or even the boyfriend) who did not like cats and had to mention it every time he saw me, then I would eventually say:

    Look (friend's name) I KNOW you dont like cats. I DO and I LIVE here and kitty is NOT going anywhere. So, if it is bothering you as it obviously is, you dont need to come back. Give us both a break.

    They only thing keeping me from telling him off is that he is a very good friend of my boyfriend. I talked to my BF last night and said you HAVE to talk to him, because next time I'm not sure I can hold back from telling him off. I know that will make thins awkward for you, so I don't want to. But this has to stop.

    I don't think my BF wants to, he said it annoys him too, and that he has mentioned it before and the friend sorta brushed it off. I told him he NEEDS to understand or I will say something and it won't be nice.

    My poor cat is the nicest cat too. He is very very loving. He purrs all the time, and wants to snuggle. Nothing bothers him. I can take him to the vet for checkups and he just wants to explore. He got very sick once and spent a lot of time at the vet and everyone said what a joy he was and how loving. I know I'm a cat lover and can't really say anything but how can you not love that?

    My cats made 2 cat hates actually like cats. I think that's a good thing. I feel if they are given the chance people will see cats aren't so bad.

    But anyway, his friend is a very childish person. He isn't friendly with anyone really, he is very negative. I have NO idea why they are such good friends, but that's not really my place to decide who he is or isn't friends with. I try to support him which is why I haven't told the guy off.

    Ok I'm rambling agian. I'll post pictures of my kitty so you all can see how beautiful he is.

    Next time he comes over meet him at the door. Tell him this is my home and my cats. If you come in, you must respect us BOTH and clam up!!!

    And if he won't, tell him it's the last time he is welcome to come over.
    No matter what anyone does, someone some where will be offended some how!!!!

    According to my BF the reason his friend started to dislike cats was because when he was young, he went fishing and a cat stole his fish...

    That's a dumb reason... IMO.

    My cousin was viciously attacked by 2 german shepherd dogs when he was about 6, but he doesn't hate all dogs, in fact he doesn't even hate german shepherd's. Attitude is everything.

    You are not over-reacting at all. If I were in your shoes, that guy would never be allowed in or near my house until he learned a little respect.

    I will miss you forever, my sweet Scooter Bug. You were my best friend. 9/21/1995 - 1/23/2010
