First a background: This is my best girlfriend since I was 9 years old, we were always inseparable, and now she is back in the US from a long stay in Brasil... She lives in Baltimore. I always had different animals, cats, dogs, hamsters, birds, fish, chicken, you name it, but mainly cats - she always had dogs. But in her family, dogs were "just dogs", if you know what I mean...
When we were teenagers, and she would sleep in my house it was a nightmare, as she always "demanded" to leave my kitty out of the room, and he would cry and cry allllll night long... She would not step inside of the house if I didn't take the cat away from her... She despised him. Since there were other people in the house, it wasn't so bad... I would give Sebastian (my kitty) to my twin, and he would be fine... I think that was the difference - Sebatian had a family... I was his mommy, but he had my mom, my dad, my sister... Even my brother who didn't like cats, liked Seb...
But my babies here.... They are all I got, and I am all they got!
Today I sent an email to some of my close friends with my website, and of course she was included... her answer was:
"Hi Carol -
Guess if I wasted my time visiting the site of your disgusting creatures? Of course not, hahaha!"
That right there annoyed me so much that I didn't even know how to respond it. Obvioulsly she should know that if I have a website for them, with a blog and a kitty cam, I consider tham a "little more" than mere creatures? THESE ARE MY BABIES!
She has known me since we were 9! We lived together for many many years!!! How could she?
Carla is trully the best of friends I will ever have, but I had forgotten how much she despises cats.... Cats for her are like cockroaches - she would love to just toss them in an island and kill them all - no kidding... She HATES them.
So, how do I deal with this???
I won't have her in my house. I refuse to... I had invited her to come here, but she will need to be in a hotel... I don't know... This is my best friend, as good as my sister, and I have no clue of what to do with this... Do you have anyone in your lives who hates cats like this? How do you deal with it?
By the way... My answer was: Wow Carla, what a horrible and unessessary comment - they are just little kitties, not uggly monsters! I shouldn't have wasted my time writing good stuff about you on THEIR blog either...
