You know what I hate about the whole Zen thing? The stupid catch phrases. Be the dog. Give me a break. All hyper manic and friendly. Tails a-wagging. That’s not me.<\/p>\n
It’s just an expression. <\/p>\n
Thank you. Figured it wasn’t literal. Still. I don’t want to be the dog. I’m really<\/p>\n
In unison:
\nMore like a cat. <\/p>\n
You really are. <\/p>\n
I know! I am aloof, and kind of demanding. I want affection only on my own terms. And when I like someone, I enjoy rubbing against them. Sometimes with my claws out. <\/p>\n
I noticed. <\/p>\n
Sorry.<\/p>\n
It’s OK. I didn’t mind. <\/p>\n
I bite, too. <\/p>\n
You do have the full compliment of bad habits. <\/p>\n
I do. And like a cat, I am very hard to train. <\/p>\n
Also true. For the most part. In some areas, you respond well to guidance. Are you blushing? I thought you had no shame?<\/p>\n
I have no shame in the same areas that I respond well to training. <\/p>\n
It’s something I like about you. <\/p>\n
At least there’s one thing!<\/p>\n
Oh, there are several. <\/p>\n
And you aren’t even a cat person…<\/p>\n
You know you aren’t actually a cat, right?<\/p>\n
That’s good–cat food smells terrible. I would hate to have to eat it. Or use a litter box. <\/p>\n
Not as much as I would hate having to empty your litter box. <\/p>\n
Yeah, that’s well beyond the typical commitment required in any relationship. <\/p>\n
I’m happy to make you purr, as long as you don’t sink your claws in my thighs. <\/p>\n
I think that can be arranged…<\/p>\n
