I once had a roommate who couldn't understand why I would have a pet instead of using the money to improve the conditions for humans. I spent about $30 a month on my cat, she sent her money to Save the Children or some other charity like that. How do you explain caring about a pet to someone...
When I got Charli, I was told she was a boy. She had strong stripes along her spine that looked like a train track to me so I named "him" Choo-choo Charlie. By the time we found out he was a she, I was already used to Charlie so I just changed to spelling to look more feminine. It doesn't...
My current cats don't seem much interested in human food, but I did have one who liked green peppers off pizza and rice with butter and soy sauce. I found this out both times because the cat was begging, and I tried to show her that she wasn't interested in what I was eating. Wrong on both counts!

Now that it's just me, I don't even make that little startled scream, I just take care of it.
You'd be amazed at what you can do when you have to. You'll be fine. My daughter (6 years old) brings me bugs all the...
Lorie, that must be very scary for you!
Some few other thoughts:
I expect to tell my daughter she can always call me. Even if I am aggravated to have to go out at midnight to pick her up, I'd rather be annoyed for a couple hours than have something terrible happen to her. I think you could...
How funny that your cat is so protective! Maybe it would be a good idea to put her in the bedroom when boyfriend comes over to get your daughter. Maybe if she doesn't see them leave it won't be such a problem. Is she just upset with boyfriend, or is it any friend who picks up your daughter...
