I’m a kitteh daddy, so I’m in the same boat.

My significant other is a kitteh daddy too. He spoils them. I think he secretly is jealous because I cater to them more than I do him. ;) (ducking and running!)

I know this was posted in fun, but I can't help but react whenever I see the stereotype about cats being female animals (dogs being male animals) and that they are heartless, self-centered, and aloof.

Two of the best friends I ever had were cats. The one I lost four years ago (at age fourteen) was the absolute best pet I ever had and I will never forget him. Even now, four years later, I miss him terribly. I don't think I'll ever get over it.

I’m very sorry for your loss.

Somewhere out there is a kitteh waiting for you to take him home. Why not go get him?

Good morning.

Cats manipulate their human owners. Study conducted by M Kehoe. Now, where do I get my grant money?

I take credit cards.

Our cats are much better at manipulating hubby than me. He gets cranky with them when they meow insistantly and he doesn’t know what they want...but all the while he is complaining about their behavior he is trying to make them happy. They don’t seem to mind if he is cranky with them, as long as they get him to do what they want they are happy.

We have two cats in the house and another in the yard that comes up to be fed. But no cat has ever taken my little Sammy's place. I would love to have another friend like him. I miss him so much.

We had a nurse kitty years ago that truly did her best to nurse us through anything and everything. After she died at 17 years old we replaced her with a rescue kitty. The first time I got sick the new kitty was curled in my lap, as I began to sneeze and cough and go through kleenex like no tommorrow the cat stood up, gave me a totally disgusted look and left. Rescue Kitty (Abbey) is NOT a nurse cat and will leave at the first sign of illness.

Our animals come to us, for the most part. Little Sam walked up on our back porch one night almost exactly eighteen years ago now. But it's highly doubtful any other cat will ever be anything like he was, though I love all cats. I lost him in part through that blasted poisoned cat food four years ago, for which I still haven't been compensated.

Though you never know when G-d is going to surprise you.

"...kitteh..."

Okay, curiosity has gotten the best of me. I have seen this quite a few times in this thread. Do you just happen to accidently hit the 'h' when you should be typing an 'n'? If so, why do you only make that error on that particular word?

If it is on purpose... why? What am I missing?

“Kitteh” is lolspeak for any cat, adult or kitten. It probably started as a typo.

LOL
Kittehs all have their own personalities,just like people.
Minette does not like the smell of Vicks Vapo Rub, and will avoid it (and me) if I have a cold.

But when I was recovering from knee surgery, my first day home after hubby got me settled comfortably on the sofa, she jumped up, sniffed at the heavy bandages on my knee, and gently curled up on it.
;0)
