[X] My Assistant

Yeah, roommate's. She's asleep on my belly right now.

Aw, I think she's going to be your kitty before it's all over. Cats know who are best for them.

Has she kneaded dough on your crotch yet? Making muffins with the claws repeatedly digging into your junk hurts like hell but it's a right of passage.

Back from when the internet was good. Basically just before Twitter.

Yep, she has.
She's a rescue cat, though; she'd already been declawed when he got her. The rear claws are still there, but I typically wear denim or khakis so it's not as bad as if I was wearing gym shorts.

So far she seems to like both of us, but I do basically have a ritual time for her to nap on me scheduled now. She seems to sit on my lap the most often, probably because I don't poke at/pet her much or move very much once gets down. I won't let her in my room though; it's too messy and I don't want to find vomit or something under my bed until I have my things under there in boxes.

So adorable, she likes your calm energy. It's so sad when cats are declawed. Lots of vets won't do that because it's mutilating the cat's fingertips by amputating them. But she's lucky to have been rescued and can now sleep in a warm lap.

Now for a public service announcement...
Humans, never declaw a cat. There are claw caps like Soft Paws or something similar. They come in an array of colors so your cat can look fashionable at all times and not harm furniture or balls.

It's in a cat's nature to scratch to mark its territory with the stinky little toe bean pads.

In addition to sweat glands, cats also have scent glands in their toe beans. ... It's the cat's way of marking their territory. When they scratch, they leave their scent, signaling to other cats that this is their spot.

I agree. I feel bad for her, too.

She's still a sweetie, though. I'm glad she's an affectionate one, coming from a dog background.

I pretty much am just applying my dog-cuddling strategies with her for the most part; most animals seem to like similar things when it comes to human interactions. Boisterous people can be offputting.

Although she's significantly smaller than the 70 to 150lb (32-68kg) dogs my family had (and much easier to keep in a lap). Mostly had Chesapeake Bay Retrievers and Newfoundlands.

Both wonderful kinds of dogs, by the way, although you have to be very principled/firm/assertive with chessies or they will take every inch they can get. If you can teach them you are the "alpha", they are wonderful companions. Otherwise, they will become the boss of you. They are quite stubborn and persistent and it require consistency and firmness in a way other retrievers just don't demand. The reward, if you are able to do that, though, is a lifelong friend and possibly the most intensely loyal, affectionate dog ever. They tend to form deep bonds with one person, and if you're that person, you'll know it. They can be fine with a family, but that person comes first. They're also the most enthusiastic and happy swimmers I've ever known; some would even just bark constantly out of the sheer joy of being in the water.

Newfoundlands are just amazing dogs, period, when it comes to their attitudes. Never had a major problem with them, except that they are very drooly and hairy and can be hard to fit in a kennel for a road trip.

…Sorry I took a left turn into dog-land there. I like them, too.

For some reason, I think somewhere there must be a picture with a grandfather making exactly the same face (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

The first time I saw that I thought someone is trolling pretty hard, that looks fake as hell. Looks like an internet meme. Its face, tho'. The whole thing looks ultra tardy.

Did they even have cats thousands of years ago in Peru? I think Egypt was inventing them around then.

What I remember was that it's thought that the leopard cat was independently domesticated in china. Maybe south americans had done something like that, too. [en.wikipedia.org] They definitely had felines in south america, at least.

Some of these things are truly impressive. How long till robots displace cats and dogs?
