    Worth a try. Maybe a handsome Tom will show up.

    Interesting. Talking trees just like in the “Wizard of Oz”.

    It wasn’t the tree that was talking - the talk bubble didn’t reach far enough. It was Broomies vulture friend.

    A cat will be less trouble than a boyfriend Broomie.

    I’d rather be alone than own a miserable good-for-nothing cat, thanks, Lewreader

    She should be trying to find that Perfect Boyfriend for Her that she stumbled across one amazing week, many years ago. I don’t think yelling “here” anything will help, but ZABA Search might.

    A cat really is the perfect cure for loneliness. They’re warm, furry, purring cheer-you-up machines!

    Soft Kitty, warm Kitty ♫ ♪ Little ball of fur! ♫ ♪ Happy Kitty, Sleepy Kitty ♫ ♪ Purr, purr, purr…

    Cats are polite, quiet, clean, good company, and don’t force themselves on people who don’t like pets. Cant say the same for dogs.

    I wouldn’t let a miserable cat anywhere near me….and I have my trusty supersoaker to ensure that. I wouldn’t dream of using it on a dog though. Love dogs!

    Polite - I’ll be watching TV, and invariably one of my cats will jump up, and the next thing I know, I’ve got a furry butt in my face.

    Quiet - Every time I go to the kitchen, I get a chewing out to either ‘Feed me’, or ‘Give me Attention’. (See Polite.)

    Clean - Just moved to a new place, went out for a few minutes, and came back to see the cat climbing out of the fireplace flue. There were already paw prints up the freshly painted walls and all the white windowsills.

    Good Company - Usually when I try to sleep, I wil get a cold wet nose on the back of my elbow from something furry trying to get me up to get something for them. (See Quiet.) Even when laying on me, I get claws.

    ‘Don’t force themselves’ - See Good Company, Quiet, and Polite. Actually, I have a cat named Trouble that earned his name. One time a visiting policy officer discovered a cat climbing up his leg. Talk about ‘Not Forcing Themselves’.

    Still love the little furry monsters though. I keep in mind: If I was their size and they were mine, I’d be Lunch!

    There are cats who have the unerring ability to pick out those who dislike cats (or worse, are allergic) and go straight towards them. It’s probably something about ionization, like cigarette smoke drifting towards non-smokers.

    Any cat that has the good sense to leave me alone will be left alone in turn; I consider their function to be primarily decorative, like throw-pillows that rearrange themselves.

    I remember that last line, fritzoid. I’m not sure when you said it on this site, but I’ve got that expression still on my white board at the office. I still love it!

    I’ve been using it for years, but I’ve only posted it once or twice here…
