Me and Cats - The Inside Story

OK, so some unkind comments were made by me and some fellow Pugs regarding Cats and our personal views of Cats. I admit that I made some comments about eating Cats that were out of line, and although I later retracted those comments, I want to set the record straight and explain why I was so hesitant to accept a Cat / Pug blogger relationship at first.

The first Cat I ever met was actually a wee kitten when I met her. It was the Summer of 2004 at the Gammy's house. The kitten's name was Catface (aka, Tinkerbell). At first Catface was afraid of me, and she hid, but as the days passed, she became more and more brave and finally approached me. I was fascinated by her and took to bathing her like my own little baby. She seemed to like this. We would lounge around the house for hours while I bathed her. Sometimes she would snack on my food, sometimes we would romp. Times were good.

Now, fast forward to Christmas of the same year. Catface is no longer a kitten, but now a young Cat and wants nothing to do with me. She snubs me at every turn, not even taking the time to say Meow. Every now and then she takes a swat at me with her very long and sharp claws, and runs off cackling her cat cackle. I am sad, hurt, abandoned. My only animal friend at the Gammy's has outgrown me and become antagonistic toward me!

Catface is still at the Gammy's house and still treats me quite poorly. She stalks me, then pounces me, then runs away cackling. It's rude. I miss the good old days when I would bathe her. Her fur tasted so yummy.

Despite my bad experience with Catface, I tried to make friends with other cats around the neighborhood, but I received the same claw-drawn welcome. Now, I am terrified of cats. They have razors attached to their paws. I have no razors. They are going to win in a fight, so I stay away from them!

I hope all you cats and cat lovers can see now why I was surprised to see a Cat / Pug blogger relationship. I apologize for being so negative about the possibility that a Cat and Pug can get along in cyberspace, but I am now open to the prospect and welcome all cats with open paws. Please, just don't swat at me or pounce on my back. I'm still a bit uneasy in your presence.
