I have a few buddies who aren't "cat people". But they don't talk bad things about our cats or let loose the passive aggressive comments, and (most importantly) recognize their right to exist and their right to humane treatment. These guys seem to see cats along the lines of wild animals. They ignore them, and get ignored in return and that's perfectly OK as far as a buddy goes. When it comes to a future love interest, it boils down to recognizing that if someone is dating you and can't accept something that you feel is very, very important to their life, they need to accept it. Smart people will at least try to embrace is because they know they might find something they love and enjoy that they never knew.Way to go, kitty! Animals have an amazing way of easing tension between people.
I do that in regards to dating too. I could not be with someone who isnt an animal lover and if they refuse to interact with my cats, they have gotta go. Thankfully, that isn't a problem with the person I'm seeing now.
What a wonderful story. That sounded like such a great friendship and I'm sorry to hear of her passing. I hope that one day as long as I stay as active on here as I am now, I'll make a few TCS friends too.
If they can't do that, they need to make like horse poop and hit the trail.
Tommy End , stick around. This is a fun site, and very supportive.
