If you choose to be self-referential, that's your choice; but your judgmental stereotypes don't reflect well on your basic nature. |

True; but if she's responsible for your unhappiness, you'll probably be happier without her. Only a masochist would willingly accept their own unhappiness on an ongoing basis as the necessary price to keep someone else happy. That would be one dysfunctional relationship bordering on martyrdom. |

I'm talking about the collective "you" not you the individual. Yes, either party can be a PITA and maybe they should split. I don't really care what others do; their life, their control. |

I asked because I once had a cat (only one so far) and I loved that cat because he was special. He passed away and I started to enjoy freedom from pets for 5 years when a stray dog walked into my life and now we have her. She's a wonderful dog too. |

You just haven't met a cat you liked. We just got a year-old Maine Coon cat. Wife loves the little (little? HUGE!) darling. Laziest damn cat I've ever even heard about. Even has the weirdest non-cat attitude: completely laid-back, nonplussed, and indifferent to his environment. Curious, he's not. He scampers away from the laser pointer and hides behind the curtain 'til it's safe to come out. Right now, at one year, he weighs 14 pounds and his breed doesn't reach their full growth until they're two or three. Anyway, he's no bother, stays out of the way, and doesn't even wake up when you pet him. Perhaps that's the breed for you? |

He scampers away from the laser pointer and hides behind the curtain 'til it's safe to come out. Ours loved the laser pointer and has a bushel of toy mice. Every time we move the furniture we find another dozen of the things. Our other cat, "Thunder", doesn't play with the things at all. Right now, at one year, he weighs 14 pounds and his breed doesn't reach their full growth until they're two or three. "Louis" (his brother "Bud" died when he was about a year old) down to a fighting weight of 25 lbs now. Anyway, he's no bother, stays out of the way, and doesn't even wake up when you pet him. Perhaps that's the breed for you? Better like head-butts. |

There are a lot of laws that we could do without. But that's just another cheap attempt by you to move the goalposts |

That darn big old critter was always up on top of things like cars, trucks, trailers, sheds and dog houses. He always took the high ground and his litter mates exhibited the same behavior. ^_^ TDD |
