Kitty

 Soft kitty, warm kitty

Thursday on the Dennis Prager male female hour on 107.5, his discussion centered around what are your first date turnoffs, things you see in the person that absolutely would make it a one night date? Things like, rudeness to the waiter, road rage, why did you hold that door for me, etc. On my first date with Melanie, I’m pretty sure hers was, does he love my cat with the same passion as he is displaying toward me? 

Well, thank the Lord Cats were her first love and not dogs. For cats are pretty much non-committal in their love for any man, but not dogs. Dogs can read you. A dog would have betrayed my duplicitous heart and the rest would never have been history. 

So when I spread just a touch of canned abalone tuna upon my then Nike running shoes, and Callie purred around my feet, well, I had her at hello. I was in, the cat “loved” me, so unusual for a cat that hated all men.
