Are you sure we're not long lost sisters somehow raised in secret

with the same Nada? You always beat me to the best jokes.

I love cats. I have two, but this is pretty out there. I could see

my mother doing this too. My greatest fear (well, it's up there in

the list)...turning into the cat lady! Meow. Yikes!

Kris, my sister,

I have 3 cats, 3 kids, 1 dog.......and my husband calls me the cat

lady!!! I have a grandmother who I think had 6-8 at one time. She

is down to 2 now. She also has everything cats, frige magnets,

ceramic figurines, pictures on the wall, I even made her a cat

blanket for Christmas. Her house smells.....ewwwww..yucky. So I

know how far the cat thing can go, and I have that wonderful husband

to remind me.

I do love my cats....but I never let them do my talking;0)

Although my middle cat bit my nada one time......and he never does

that.....smart cat!!! She probably was projecting something

like " your a bad pussy cat " !!!

Hehehahhahahohoho!!!

HAHAHAHA -- you all are making me laugh. This list is a great list; nothing

worse then telling some story about your nada and someone saying, oh that's just

mom being moms or don't talk about your mother that way ...

Oh, and the other thing: I am THIRTY-SIX and when she says things like this

(when its actually voice not email) it's in this gross baby voice. the same one

she uses when she has said to me " it's time for you to be my mommy now. " no

kidding. double, triple yuck!

Crockett,

What freaks me out about the cat thing is that my niece said that my

BP sister meowed at her on their way up to see us last weekend,

because my niece was reading her book, and ignoring her mother. I

thought it was insane......until I remembered one of you talking

about the freakin cats......my sister admitted that she and the

niece talk cat.....they mimic cats too.

What the heck......I see the 13 year old niece doing this but my

sister at 37???

Maybe we are on to something here......maybe the cure for BP lies

within our cats???

Could it be true ;0) drlingirl

My nada insists on talking with her dog in the ickiest voice

imaginable: " Look, Pookie, it's , look, look, see Stevie!

Stevie, say hi to Pookie. Say hi, Pookie, show Stevie how you say hi!

Arf arf! He's saying hi to you, Stevie. " My sons, who are in their

20's, absolutely hate it.

And she calls attention to everything he does, like every ten minutes

or so. " Look, isn't it cute the way he looks up at you! Look at him

turn his head! Look at him! Look at him chew on his toy! He is just

the smartest thing! "

Oh, and he bites. Hard. Sinks in his teeth and breaks the skin.

Several people, including her on more than one occasion. Know why he

does it? He has post traumatic stress disorder. I swear she believes

it, although what the heck a pampered shih tzu has to be stressed

about is beyond me. Maybe it stresses him to listen to her baby talk

all day long.

Hi Sara Jo,

My mother did something similar with her cat. I

suggested that she get a cat when I was younger (maybe

around 13-14) and she was complaining that she was

lonely all the time. To me, having a cat around would

help. At first, she liked the cat and fed him all the

time. As a result, he wound up being fat and the vet

recommended that he go on a diet. She did that and he

started acting out, when he did, she'd feed him again.

And so on.

Later on, she decided that she deserved new furniture

and went out buying a whole set. Because she didn't

want her new fancy furniture ruined, she got the cat

declawed. By this time he was quite a bit older, 8-9

years old, and declawing him was particularly cruel.

Now when he became angry with her, he bit her and

hard.

I didn't see a lot of what went on with my mother and

the cat but I did see her hit him once and I have to

assume she had done it on other occasions. It's the

one time I remember crying about my mother's behavior

and how no one could win with her (I cried to my dad

and I feel like it was the one time he took me

seriously that there was something disturbed with my

mother...prior to her suicide threats). No matter how

I acted, it always wound up bad and her hitting the

cat was the worst thing (I thought) that I could have

witnessed. I mean, he couldn't do anything and he

didn't know better (he had jumped up on the dining

room table and she got angry with him for never

listening to her).

My mother had skin cancer (or so she claimed...who

knows...) and while she was healing after surgery the

cat bit her. So she immediately told me that she had

to get rid of it knowing that I couldn't take it (I

lived in another country and with a person who hated

cats...he even got me to give up my cat). Her plan

was to leave it at the pound with the hopes that he

would be adopted. By this time, he was over 10 years

old, fat, and declawed. Luckily I convinced my dad

and his GF to take the cat and he's been happy there

ever since (and was joined by my cat soon afterwards,

she seems pretty happy too). Unfortunately, he has

develop severe diabetes, probably exacerbated by his

being overfed when he was younger.

Also, I know that my mother hit me once although I

can't remember what I did to provoke her. She placed

the blame completely on me and said that she hated to

do this but it was necessary because I had done

something really bad. I'm pretty sure that was the

only time though.

That makes me so sad, I am sitting here with my two cats -- I am a dog person,

but

living in apartments you can't have a dog around here. So last year, while I

was sick I

decided I was lonely, going to be out of work for 3 months, that I would go get

some

company.

When I went to adopt, I only wanted one cat, but there was a cage with two

kittens, that

were sisters from the same Mom, you could tell they loved eachother so much, I

couldn't

bear the thought that they would be separated so I took them both.

One lays on my lap while I watch TV, and the other sleeps next to me in bed.

They are so

sweet. I am convinced one can tell when I am on the phone with Nada, she always

climbs

up on my lap and gives me a kiss!

I would never hit them, declaw them, or over feed them. Some people shouldn't

be

allowed to have animals.

Time for bed, my one cat is looking at me funny that we haven't gone to sleep

yet!
