Great topic, AXO Alum! I love animals sooo much!
I have always loved cats the most and have had a lot of them. Currently, my mom still has a couple of cats I grew up with. Zaphod and Trillian are named after characters in the book "Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy" They are such cuties. Zaphod is a real scaredy cat and hides whenever people come over, but when he comes out, I am so happy because he is like a big teddy bear...very fat! We can't stop him from eating, and the other cat is super skinny...she doesn't like to eat.
That reminds me of a funny story my roomate had about her cats fat problem. She had one that wa sfat, and a couple normal ones, but the fat one kept eating the other's food. So, they put the food up on the counter and he was too fat to jump up, so he started losing weight and the other cats got to eat! But, then he lost enough weight to jump up on the counter and, you guessed it, got fat again! so, they have this never-ending cycle of him being too fat to jump up, losing weight, jumping up, eating and getting fat again! What a neurotic cat!
I also love dogs of all sizes and shapes. I had a POmeranian, but he got dog-napped, surely because he was so cute. No matter what, his little face looked like he was smiling.
I desperately want a pet, but we are not supposed ot have dogs at the house we are renting. And my boyfriend is deathly allergic to cats. he hates them because he's never been able to interact with them without getting a severe reaction. I have tried to ask him to go to his doctor and at least find out some information about all the new treatments they have, like getting shots every month for a year or two and being cured! But, he keeps putting it off and it makes me sad. Anyone have any suggestions?
