ROTFLMAO.......At least people are reading my posts, even if they do not understand them.

I find this so funny, I don't argue, I state facts and I ask questions, when people ask advice I say what I think.

How can someone so direct, be misunderstood... LOL

LOL. If I was spilting hairs, arguing, assumming bad things, holier than thou attitude (Does this one mean I get wings ) I *think* I might have noticed. Well to be honest I would state it very loudly.

PS. Hands up if you don't understand me, email joker98 s(he) will translate the *real* meaning later


So as my posts are so very difficult to understand, I appoint joker98 as my personal 'attitude monitor'.

joker98,

Just post after I have and using quotes from my posts, write the *real* meaning behind my words, as I am so incapable

How did I cope for the last year without you, my new best buddy.

You had better look at my last 2500 posts and rewrite those too.

Maybe the word I should have used was without such a condescending attitude? I might be splitting hairs or making mountains out of molehills but this is what I felt when I read these posts.


If you knew anything about cats??? Please...


Why are you automatically assuming that she has not though of the responsibilities that come with a baby and owning a pet? That she is not prepared or educated to deal with the situations and difficulties that might arise? And why not present some of those challenges that she might face that lead you to suggest that she wait until the baby is older? And how old should the baby be? I know many groups that will not adopt kittens to families with children under six. There are reasons behind this. Why not present some of these reasons to support your suggestion?


That was made in response to the "Cats are fairly low maintence that's why we'd rather get one more than a dog." And it is true, when compared to dogs, cats are IMHO, lower maintanence than a dog. Why does this statement worry you? I got my first cat because I live in a townhouse and I did not have the room for a dog to run nor the time to walk it. And I am so glad because I realize how wonderful cats are.



Once again automatically assuming that she has no idea cats.

If we look at guster girl's and catnapper's post they address the same issues but they put in their personal experiences as an example as to why one might reconsider or at least examine their reasons for adopting a kitten, especially one so old.


Is there something wrong with wanting to adopt a younger cat? Yes, the difference between 12 weeks and 24 weeks is minimal but there is nothing wrong with wanting a kitten that young. The younger they are, the more dependent they are on you. And maybe that is what she is looking for?


I know I am opening myself up to a lot of flak but I believe there is a way to educate and question without the holier than thou attitude
