Continuing to write his ghost-story-in-progress late one night, alone in his room with the door closed and all being dead quiet, he became somewhat spooked by his own written content. Not that he was particularly good at penning potent ghost stories, but he nevertheless caught the creeps by the...

I recall upon reading her anti-cat comments worrying somewhat that if this independent-minded columnist who’s a contentedly-single young woman of colour—a demographic that to me (albeit perhaps stereotypically) is likely to appreciate independent-minded felines, or at least not so publicly...

The following story was in The National Post ... 'If someone out there is looking for a clever cat that gets along with dogs but does not get along with closed doors, we have someone they really need to come and meet' Sadaf Ahsan November 12, 2019 Last Updated November 13, 2019 Pawlice...

I did ask the writer (if I recall correctly) via 2 Facebook messages why she feels the way she does about cats, but I received no reply. One theory I have is that she may have been repulsed by the sight of a male cat biting/holding onto the back of a female's neck (skin) during mating. It may be...

There are some guys who’ll understandably hesitate at speaking in public about their particular fondness for pet felines; for, to do so, unlike with expressing affection for a good sturdy canine friend, may be generally stereotyped as a man’s non-testosterone pet-animal inclination. And, yes...

As an adult I noticed that people who said they were ‘not an animal person’ held a particular dislike for cats, regardless of their incapacity, unlike humans, for committing vicious acts out of plain malice. I, now 52, believe that along with human intelligence comes the proportionate...

Yet, the otherwise quite liberal-minded national commentator I mentioned fails to at all elaborate WHY she dislikes cats; she simply states in one piece that “I never liked cats”, and in another she penned: "I don’t like cats and I’d like to sabotage their brand as much as possible." I'm always...

Simon, the pure black cat, was never one for a camera—any camera—because, unlike with one of the two human hosts with whom he resides who owns a computer, there was no “mouse” involved with which Simon could manage things … Well, he sort of could manage things. He could move that arrow on the...

Unlike other, naturally wild animals, the cats about which I’m talking are in their dire situation due to callous humans acquiring cats/kittens, not spaying/neutering them before eventually disowning (e.g. very cruelly intentionally leaving the pet cat behind to fend for itself when its owner...

Over the last four decades I've observed callous disregard, and sometimes even contempt, exhibited by individual people and the collective community toward these often-suffering sentient beings. I grew up knowing a few cat-haters willing to procure sick satisfaction from torturing to death...

Simon the cat ’round the corner did hide, though reflected in the mirror was he and the human host could his black pet see waiting for him to pass, then from his side pranced upon his legs did Simon eyes wide; thus the cat perceived the game as party, though aware not he’d played the...

Actually, Simon, in my mind (for I believe such perceptions are usually relative to the owner's thoughts and feelings regarding the pet), is actually not the Morris -- and definitely not the somewhat cynical Garfield -- type of character. On the contrary, in fact, he's rather docile, loves to be...

In jest, I told my black pet feline Simon that I saw so many pictures of him in the black-cats-only sections of a few cat-chat discussion-forum websites I visit. He in turn gave me an unmistakable sarcastic feline facial expression (or, at least, to me it appeared to be just such a look) which...

IT was at least dusk on a cloudy Friday night and our precious, sweet, whiskered feline was quite missed, not answering our calls, indeed nowhere in sight; where could’ve she gone, we thought, that feline too free when the bell she wore should’ve told us where she’d be. As the clock tolled...

Thanks. That poem, plus the dream-invading-Mimi poem (I believe I've also posted) are pretty much entirely true. Although, whereas it was my dream that got invaded thus my account; but Mimi climbing the convenience-store roof was solely witnessed by my mother though Mom didn't dare call out to...

This string of posts has some very adorable pics. As for the two pets interested in their host's spaghetti cooking, if those two felines are anything like my pet cat Simon, they're trying to pick up any hint of meat or even artificial meat-flavoured product.  

That Young, Black Cat—She Needed Something   If only I had something new, she thought, something adventurous to do, like when the fields grew tall, fields from which wild fowl fed and flew; she, feline feisty and precious, needed something or to climb the wall. She walked over to the...

Yet another very belated thanks for your post(s).
