Fun with Pets

Is it inherently weak to accuse a dehydrated man of driking all of the water? I don't mean this literally but someone thought that I was "accusing the dehydrated man of drinking all of the water" recently. Sort of thing recently...

In one of my past blogs, I mentioned that there was a cat that lived in one of my previous residences. There is also a cat at my current residence. This cat is interesting because sometimes it wants me to pet it. Other times it either ignores me ort bites me. There was an incident where someone kicked the cat recently (Not a hard but a kick nontheless). Because of the cats behavior towards me I was a bit ambivlaent toward the kick. I guess that its different if its "your" cat.

This is interesting. I am not sure how many people have ever picked up a behavior from a dog but... Once, around ten years ago, I was walking home from class when I saw a dog sitting on the neighbor's porch. It ususually just looked at me as I walked by. I decided to try to intereact with it: I started clicking my tongue and whistling at it. A Very unsettled look came across it's face and it looked in the direction opposite of where I was standing. I, feeling rejected, said "Hey! Hey!" It continued to ignore me. I walked in the diorection it was looking and stood there. It looked in the direction opposite of where I was standing. I gave up and walked away. I told a friend about it once and their response was "Andre, its just a dog. It doesn't matter." Occasionally I find myself doing the same thing that that dog did. If someone who I want nothing to do with starts bothering me I get an Extremely unsettled look on my face and look in the opposite direction. Works like a charm.
