I agree that all cats are different with their own personality. Abby is a completely different cat than Molly. We were so hurt by the loss of Molly, we made sure we adopted a completely different cat - opposite color , very young, etc. We wanted to cut back on the comparisons by others, and ourselves. We knew that Abby was never going to a replacement for Molly, and don't expect her to be - but let's say we had adopted another middle-aged calico, comparisons would have been inevitable.Originally Posted by jennyranson
I think it is OK for some people/cats to like other people/cats more than others (if you get my meaning!) Just as we have human friends we like especially then we can accept that we mesh with some cats more than others. But that doesn't mean we can insult the other ones! Among my friends there are those who always prefer one of my cats over the others, and my cats often prefer certain of my friends. Dushka will go straight to one of my friends, and sleeps on her bed if she stays over. To me it just proves that every cat is different with its own personality, just as my friends are.
I've been thinking about this Rigel and it's really been bothering me. I am going totally off-topic here. Here in the US , it seems like it is OK for woman to be crazy about their pets, but not men, especially if that man owns a cat. My husband has experienced this at work before, and so have I. Anyone else run into this?Originally Posted by CoolCat
Sometimes is difficult to me to talk about my cat, because sometimes the say that I´m crazy about Milky they say that I´m overprotecting Pet Man...But I don´t care that coments.......I know that our furfriends has a soul and they love to us too!

It just plays into the old gender stereotypes.Originally Posted by AbbysMom

My rule is never judge someone, period. You enjoy Abby. That's all that matters. Those who don't understand don't need to.
