I’m a terrible cat mom.
I don’t deal very well with things that don’t love me, and sometimes I find myself downright disliking our youngest cat, Hobble. I get really tired of trying so very hard to get him to at least acknowledge my presence only to have him literally step over me to lavish Ed with adoration – while most of the time I stare at him sadly and wonder what I did to make him hate me so; sometimes I find myself thinking very nasty thoughts at the 20lb gray cat o’ lard. Like right now. Having to share your household with something that hates you really does suck. It also makes me worry that when we DO get a pug, Ed will work his voodoo again and I’ll be stuck with another animal that does not love me in return. I do not handle rejection well. Why don’t you love me, you stupid cat.
Hmpf.

Maybe he reads your blog?
No? Too soon?
Just be sure that you are the one who feeds your pug, and he/she will love you forever!
To be fair, true hatred isn’t quite so ambivalent. For example, at least you don’t have a cat that alternates between pretending to love you and then trying to claw your eyes out. Just sayin. Hobble is just a butthead. Also, I think dogs are less likely to completely diss one parent over the other, but what do I know. I have cats.
one of our kitties is like that, and she just seems to be a diehard momma’s girl. for years she wouldn’t even tolerate my hubby getting near her let alone touch her. then suddenly one day she had some sort of epiphany and a major shift in her personality and now she is much friendlier around him, even lets him pick her up.
our other cat is the exact opposite, the hugest suckhole ever, so much so that he’s a pest about it and won’t leave anyone alone. kind of ocd- crazy obsessive.
and i bet once you get your pug, your kitty will change and realize he has to be nice to you big time to get your attention!
My dogs love whoever has food the most. They are also not the smartest creatures in the world.
