That made me laugh out loud! Heck I'm still laughing as I type this.I once saw a bumper sticker, obviously custom, by a cat lady of professional standing: "If I want to hear the pitter patter of little feet, I'll put shoes on my cats."
And of course there is the classic "I love cats, it's people who annoy me"That made me laugh out loud! Heck I'm still laughing as I type this.
How funny! You already had your own kid but your mom is trying to convince you otherwise. Classic lol.I am SO happy to find this thread! I do NOT like the human babies/kids! When one comes in the office, I try to hide. Cat/kitten dog/puppy - I am there! I don't tell people because they do not get it. My mom is trying to convince me that if I had grandchildren, I would feel differently. I'm 60 years old! I'm not going to change!
I told my daughter that if she gets a kitten, I'll visit!
Same here. Babies are all right as long as I don't have to do anything for them. Kittens? Yes please!I'm like that. Somebody brings a baby into the building and I'll run the other way. I don't really care about babies; I don't want to hold it. And I don't like the screaming, crying, wailing baby.
Give me a kitten, though, and I'm all over it. A woman brought a new-found kitten into the building a few months ago. And I said, "Oh give me that little girl! How are you, little one? You are just too cute!" And when the woman needed somebody to watch the kitten while she went out to get food, litter, etc., the baby stayed in my lap in my cube the whole time. She eventually crawled up to my neck and went to sleep. I thought she was simply precious.
One of my co-workers told me right out that he didn't understand. I will run from the human baby, but nuzzle and cuddle the kitten. That didn't make sense to him. OTOH, it made perfect sense to me. I simply don't really care for babies or little kids.
Human baby? Feline baby? I'll choose the kitten. Every single time.
You're not alone.
