The consequences of not having your cat spayed.

Ugh. The consequences of not having your cat spayed? Uh oh. It's that time of month again. PMS much? Which got me round to thinking. Is it really a good idea to hop into bed with a hormonal creature of the opposite sex? My answer is no, god, NO. Anyway, let's continue.

You know, it's really adorable sometimes when you hear a cat purr or coo. Three out of four weeks, they practise their mating calls. On the last week, they belt it out 24/7 and it gets really annoying, and you're like, "Make her stop, pleeease!" That's what it's like for me and lil' Abbey. It was really very entertaining and pitiable to watch. I'm sorry, but it's true. I have another cat, Snowball, who has been neutered. (Thank God). He despises Abbey. To have a better understanding of the situation at hand, the situation is sort of like the beginning of Pride and Prejudice, where Mr. Darcy doesn't like Elizabeth. S is regal, classy, a little bit arrogant, and a bit stiff. A is playful.

Now, in my story, Abbey is in need of a partner. Snow, the only male cat in sight, seems to be the only conceivable choice. So, she begins the long and hard war of love, much to Snow's being oblivious and indifferent. Multiple attempts of action have been made on her part. Pointing her posterior in his face, as if offering himself to him, rolling on the floor in front of him, playing with his tail. Of course, all this ends up with her getting multiple swipes in the face... and backside. One time... multiple times... Snow tries to drop heavy objects on poor Abbey's head. She narrowly escapes death three times per day. And she still wants him. That's love right there. Or the poor thing's really just having her period. As for the mating call... did I mention Snow was deaf?

See how that would work out in my version of P&P? Elizabeth is flinging herself at Mr. Darcy, doing dances of seduction in front of him, and bending over. And she wonders why he does not like her. Seriously, you can imagine herbeing all like "Mr. Snow, I sense that you have been rejecting all my sexual designs, yet I fully believed it in your person to tend to a young girl's needs!" and the reply would be something like "What? I can't hear you! No, I did NOT drop something, stop bending over for goodness sake!". And he tries to throw his books at her, hoping to stop her in her dance number.

Anyway, Abbey slowly begins to sense that Snow might not like her. What gave that away? Can you believe what she did next? Ok, I was working at my table, when Abbey jumps on it, and yes, points her backside at me. I'm going.. "..." in my mind. Flattered? No. Creeped out? HELL, YES! Let us not go into detail any further. I really need to book the vet.

Oh, and I heard there was a video of some psychopath murdering a poor innocent kitten on facebook. Her reason? She broke up with her boyfriend. People like that do NOT deserve sympathy, and honestly, I don't get people like that. Luckily she was found and is probably gonna be prosecuted for Animal Cruelty. Oh, yeah.
