Anyone have cats?

[todeen]

I'm a dog person and my sister and father were cat people. Our cat Ms Kitty was an outdoor cat. She jumped off our deck to kick the sh*t out of an intruder cat and broke her leg. We put her down due to that.

But our cat Mittens was my dogs best friend. She let Lisa slobber all over her - I saw her entire head in my dogs mouth at least once a month. It was a weird relationship. My dog died first, and she never took a liking to my new dog Jules or my sisters new cat Macy. She was old and crotchety by that point.

Now I have no animals because we have been in apartments and renting. But we are getting close. My son is a cat person because he doesn't like dogs any bigger than a fat wiener dog.

My wife is an equestrian, so we have a small horse farm. Because we live in a rural area, dogs and cats have a way of just showing up. In January of 2021, a feral tom cat started appearing at our place. Because I am a soft touch, I left food out for him. But, because he was feral, I had a hard time getting within 20 feet of him. In June, he was obviously sick and had lost a lot of weight. I was able to wrangle him into a carrier and get him to a vet friend, who diagnosed him with bobcat fever. We ended up having to treat him at home and, as you might imagine, he is not feral anymore.

Not by a long shot.

That's great yours get along, Jeff. Our poodle Giselle hates our cat with a passion. Anytime he gets near my wife (Giselle's 'momma'), she goes after him ferociously and there is a brawl. Or as ferocious as a toy poodle can get
