Why yes, I do live alone wirth my cat.

Long time no blog, but hey no one's perfect. Don't you love the preconceived notion of the crazy cat lady? The woman you see in the grocery store who just LOOKS like she owns 8 cats all of which have fun names like Mr. Twiddlekins. (my personal fav!) But what happens when you receive the crazy cat lady look from others? Does it make you depressed? Vindictive? Or running towards the candy aisle? For instance, I received "the look" the other week in the grocery store. I was buying cat treats and wine. Very classy of me, I know but still why the look? Was it my hoodie and jean attire? Did I look sad or crazy? Or was it the simple fact that I bought wine and cat treats at the same time? I like to think that I don't look so unhappy while grocery shopping that people think I'm incapable of being happy without wine and my kitty kat. (Who's name by the way is Rambo, which is very manly but also conveys my obsession for Sylvester Stallone) The opposite is true. I'm in a very happy relationship with Mr. Perfect (aka boyfriend), and I'm in general a very happy person. Being owned by a cat (and anyone who is around cats knows that this is how the relationship is truly defined. they own you. don't fight it) is a very rewarding experience. The argument I make to Nathan (Mr. Perfect in case you were wondering) is that dogs (which he happens to own. yes i know we both fit the stereotype) are just as happy to see you as they are the mailman. My Rambolini (yes I call him that, not very manly but he doesn't answer either way) is only ever happy to see me. I mean he is offended if I don't say hey to him when I first walk in the door. I'm the only lap he gets in unless other laps have catnip (which he cannot resist) which means that in HIS eyes, I am special. I am the ONE person who he relies on to be there for him. And in turn I rely on him. Sure cats are just as likely to come to you as they are to roll back over and pretend they didn't hear you, but never when you truly need them. Though they may pretend indifference they will hop onto your lap when you need them the most. Had a bad day and can't stop crying? Mr. Kitty Kat will join you acting like he needs petting when he is really saying "Look I know your upset but as long as we both pretend I'm only doing this to get rubbed it'll be okay if you cry on me a little bit" Belonging to a cat is both rewarding and frustrating but when you need them the most they are there for you.
