lol always funny how people who don't understand an animal and don't know how to manage it think they can read its mind.

-----------------------------------

Also in the news, having hernia surgery Monday. Cannot come soon enough. Been working with it for months now, and holy **** am I ever sick of it. The shooting pains down the length of my urethra I can really do without. Also, if I stand up for longer than ten minutes without wearing a hernia belt, half my intestines would be spooling up in my right ball. And that feels every bit as great as it sounds.

Just thought you'd all like to know that.

Let me know how it goes, I have my surgery for it nov 14th.

I can’t wait for it, yet am also not looking forward to it.

I play with myself.

So you aren't master of your domain?

Interesting post.....the first part. It's is almost like the post I'd expect from my cat, if the smug p**** could post.

So many times I've seen uber cat-hating dog people put on these big dog goggles and go: "Oh, it's got fur and four legs so it must be a doggy! I'm going to approach it like a doggy and pick it up like a doggy and hold it like a doggy and rub its belly like a doggy and why am I bleeding? Cats are mean!"

If you're going to own a cat you owe it to the animal to at least try to understand its psychology. It's not a dog, dude.

Growing up I had a dog, and multiple cats. The meanest animal of all of them was the dog.

Jesus - hope it all goes well and you get some relief!

Had hernia surgery for one above my belly button a couple years back

The relief is incredible

That’s likely because you did not manage the animal properly.

I was 6 or 7 when she died.

So, to turn this into ANOTHER Benning/Gillis thread sarcasm, not having ever been a pet owner, is everyone essentially telling me:

Gillis is like a cat. Aloof and arrogant at times. Thinking it knows everything.
Benning is like a dog. Loyal but dumb as a pile of rocks.

LOL, yes, that make sense. All these years I have been unable to property pet and pick up cats - mistaking them for golden retrievers, that's why several of them of have clawed all my furniture, and decided at various times to use different areas of my house as a litterbox, instead of the litterbox, etc. LOL.

 

[Jack Burton]

Just spent the past week and a half cat-sitting my daughter's cat while she and her bf were in Ottawa visiting the Grandma. Had cats almost all my life but haven't been able to in the building I've been in for the last 10 years or so. Didn't realize I missed having a cat that much. I even missed cat breath. Stanky-ass cat food-smelling cat breath. Also, I miss the little things when you own a cat that you don't even think about when you don't. Like, when you have a cat, at some point you will inform your cat that he is a cat.

I miss those little things.

That's not a good analogy. Dogs are way smarter than cats.

And what exactly do you think causes cats to be destructive and territorial? Hint: projecting smugness onto them might be related.

 

[Captain Bowie]

You know what I never hear? Supposed "cat people" deriding dogs or dog lovers.

Welp, back home. Can't really bend over very easily. Or at all, really. But I'm glad to have it finally over and done with.

Also want to give a shout-out to the doctors, nurses and staff at Burnaby General. Everyone was very pleasant and professional, even those who became the first people in twenty years to see my junk besides my wife.

Hey, you're the guy with a cat ruining your furniture, not me. I'd say the joke's on you, pal.

No more cat talk or I’m deleting this abomination of a thread

Rolling out of bed becomes an art form for a couple weeks and then it gets better. Though mine was a lot more abdominal than yours I think

I actually had two hernias; one on each side. The left one isn't bothering me or getting worse so they just left it. The right one was...definitely worsening over time and had to be dealt with. Right in the groin area. Like, any torso movement is cumbersome atm. Still, getting better and it's barely 24 hours since the operation itself. The plumbing down there already feels better.

Correction.

You know the noises you heard outside last night?

That was me lurking; I took a peek at your bedroom window and saw EVERYTHING!

And believe me when I say:

See, I don't mind that cats aim to please themselves because that means they're low maintenance, which they are. I don't need my pets to please me and I find dogs to be way too high maintenance.

I'm a cat person through and through. Give me a pet that will mind their own business and take care of themselves (except at the beginning obviously) and occasionally sit and snuggle with you any day.
