It does bring me to this question: Is it scary for a guy to find out that I have 3 cats? Do they automatically think that I will add a fourth? ...a fifth? I mean I guess that can be worrisome, but even I know 3 is more than enough for me.
I think there just happens to be certain stigmas attached to the 3 cat scenario:
1. Your house will smell terrible.
2. You'll get a fourth, a fifth, a sixth....!
3. They will steal your breath. (heard this first hand date, true story)
Oddly enough, my exes always want to take them in the "divorce." So I feel that my 3 boys can't be all that bad.
I just wonder if anyone else has had problems with the way people view them and their pets.
Do you have any stories about how your pets have affected your relationships?

i can't wait to read this one!! the title is so intriguing!! hurry hurry!
yes i have book recommendations... all 3 by lisa see: snowflower & the secret fan, peony in love, and shanghai girls. read shanghai girls last tho coz it was my least fave. i'm reading "don't look me in the eye" right now - it's about the brother of that guy that wrote "running with scissors" and he's got... ummm... what do you call it?... a disease that starts with an A - not autism but kind of like it... ... Asperger's! yes. anyhoo, reading that now and it's pretty entertaining but i'm not totally engrossed. usually it takes a book with a relationship in it to have me entirely engrossed, be it a romantic relationship or a best-girl-friend relationship. altho the romantic ones engross me more, i have to admit. i'm a sucka fer luv! luv shmuv.
LOVE this one... have a couple quick comments about your listed stigmas:
1. Your house does NOT smell terrible. It smells like downy fabric softener, fancy shampoo, and sometimes like fresh baked cookies.
2. Will you get a fourth, a fifth, a sixth....???? Cuz that "could" change my response for #1.
3. Its a known fact that cats don't steal the breath of grown men; just babies. So if a guy raises that concern you better move on; he likely has the emotional maturity of a 3 month old.
