I am leaving DU......Goodbye to my friends and cat-lovers!
Edited on Sat Feb-26-05 08:27 AM by Sugar Smack
I should be back in about 10 minutes. I have to clean Sophie's litterbox and repair the damage she did to my wicker chair.

I shall miss you. Farewell, and may the Force be with you.

4. ooooooooo! *perks up* are you begging me?
(pant pant)

WELL, THEN..Maybe I can let the wicker chair thing go for now. It's always been something of a death trap, anyway. But I MUST clean her litterbox!


:) ;) ;) :7 :bounce: :bounce:

7. Sure, in a forum as big as DU there are bound to be a few idiots and troll
But most of the "kitty-bashing" threads are in response to the idiotic feline policy of the Bush** junta. I know that most DUers sincerely appreciate and honor the service of the individual cats.

8. I really don't know how much more of all this cat-bashing
I can take. My Sophie does her job every day, to the very best of her ability, and this is the thanks she gets????

10. I mean it's just bash, bash, bash, everywhere I turn.
I have to be on Sophie's side in this. I know you'll just turn around and call me a cat-monger.

12. YOU just don't have any idea what my kitty goes thru-
Edited on Sat Feb-26-05 09:10 AM by Sugar Smack
she's proud of what she does. She's so proud, she keeps her tail in the air. I think she deserves some respect, and all you guys do is see her flaws. *pulls slightly away from computer* don't....know...if I..can take...much more...

14. FOFL!
Just finished reading the vetswife thread. But this post is the reason I would never leave. I identify too much with the sense of humor so many here have.

Thank you :-)

THERE is a brave and dedicated feline fan. I'll bet Donalin took time out of his busy day and busy schedule and busy life to actually THANK a cat. Stopping to thank a cat. It only takes a minute but it means a lot. How many of us can really say we stopped to thank a cat today?

16. well, now that you mention it
right after that post, Bob (my cat) was hanging on the screen door outside in the snow begging to come in and get fed.

I did oblige him, however reluctantly, I might add. Contrary to his wishful thinking, my life does not revolve around him. <g>

17. god, I like that word, "begging"
and I have to say, there are only two types of people in the world- the cat-thankers and the cat-bashers. *sniffle* It looks like YOUR heart is in the right place. May the Force be with you, Donailin. If only everybody in the entire world could be like you, the world would be embracing cats instead of misunderstanding them. It warms my heart and does my heart good.


:D

18. Here's a little poem I wrote and then you can resume
your begging me to stay...

A Cat, by Sugar Smack. "ahem."


A cat. Proud and Dutiful
Like the American flag, and beautiful........
A Cat.
I salute you.
Don't let this world pollute you.
A cat.
Let the frippery and flags unfurl..
In this bad oyster of a world, you're the pearl.
A Cat.



:cry:

19. I can't take it anymore
I'm so sorry that I said I would sweep my floor with your kitty. I was so wrong....but I've been drinking again and I was on a bender...I'm a mean drunk....I need help.

:cry:

20. Oh, my God I'm boo-hooing right along with you-
*starts Beethoven's Seventh Symphony*

Benders are fine. Benders are great...you don't need help for your drinking! You only need to re-adjust your thinking completely and just stand up and be a proud patriot. My cat is highly decorated, you see. She has a rhinestone collar and 3 little jingling metal tags- if that doen't tell the world what a proud cat she is I don't know what will!!!!!!!!!!!Tell me, should I have put up a great number of pictures of her before deciding to *choke* leave?

21. I can't be a 'proud patriot'
I'm Canadian...and we can only express intense emotion at hockey games...now, we don't even have that...we're all suffering because of it.

You sound like you have a stylish kitty...kind of Marilyn Monroe like...I think we do need pictures...LOTS of pictures.

...still I don't think I can ever forgive myself for my horrible behaviour. :cry:

22. I shall post extra-huge pictures
of my brave little servant to the world, and of myself standing proud and tall, and it will be a magnificent gesture for all the world to see. And after that, I may put up more pictures of myself. (When I finally learn how!) But yes, that is what I will do. In the meantime, I think you can make it up to me by baking me a cake. I'm partial to vanilla with extra-sugar icing!

23. I'll try
Last time I made a cake, it looked like my kitchen had been attacked by a chocolate monster - chocolate mousse everywhere - ceiling - floor - fridge - walls. It's been about 13 years - hopefully it will go better this time.

25. *perks up*
this is EXCELLENT news! With vanilla cake you can NEVER go wrong! This is not to say I'm bashing chocolate. I would never be so insensitive as to bash chocolate. And I know that chocolate monsters have feelings, too, so I'm telling you right this very minute, if I see a chocolate-monster-bashing thread, I'll bite its bunny head off.

And while I'm at it, maybe I should stop drinking so much coffee and START drinking so much beer! Care to join me?
