I realize that not everyone is a cat person. But I am one. And so is my husband. I know it’s even rarer for a man and wife to be equally into cats, but in this house we are. As I type this, I’m realizing how strange we sound. Bare with me.
We find cat videos hilarious. And we’ll generally laugh out loud at any cat humor. Once, we were watching a video of a cat sticking his head under a running faucet repetitively, and we were laughing so hard we couldn’t catch our breath. We immediately showed it to our friends who sat there without a single reaction through the entire video. When it ended, they looked at each other and said “cat people.”
We’ve had a rough lot of it in the feline department in the last year or so. I had a tearful goodbye to my sweet kitty last summer, and then we lost George in April. For the first time in our marriage, our house is cat-free. As much as I love cats, I always said once George passed, we’d be done. But I think we’re considering adopting another little kitty.
Going back and reading those posts about George and Webster make me a little hesitant because I know the kind of pain saying goodbye to a pet causes, but part of us both is ready to introduce another little kitty friend in this house. Especially for Bailey’s sake.
Plus cats just kind of make me laugh out loud.
They do the weirdest things!
I guess time will tell if another little buddy will make it’s home here!
And I’m the crazy person who just wrote a whole post about cats.
I need help.
That sounds exactly like Ken and I. We are both BIG cat people. We have 4 cats (and are feeding an outside stray that we hope to make #5). Ken is the cat whisperer … all cats love him. We watch funny cat videos all the time. The past 2 times we were in Florida to visit his grandmother, we visited the Big Cat Rescue in Tampa. I highly recommend looking it up – it is really awesome. They have a channel online with really cute videos – like feeding ice cream to the lions!
Fellow cat lady here and you don't need help! I moved in with my husband when I was 22 and that was the first time I hadn't had a cat in my house. We got one a little over a year later! Saying goodbye is so, so hard but I think at the end you have to remember that the days/months/years of happiness are more meaningful than the one awful day and sad days that follow. It sounds like any kitty would be lucky to live in your home!
You guys are total cat people…it sounds like my house! 🙂 I laugh till it hurts over the goofy things I see cats do. I agree that it hurts so bad when they have to leave us, but the time they are here is so amazing for those of us that love them so much. You will find the right time to get a new kitty… sounds like you love them too much to not have that joy in your life again. And it sounds like the kitty that is blessed to your home will be so very loved and be a very lucky kitty indeed!
