Three Cats & a Tramp Stamp....

...about the 3 cats and a tramp stamp...well, someone said I had 3 cats and a tramp stamp when they described me recently. I just had to laugh....it has a nice ring to it. Love me, love my cats, love my mini body art along with it.

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?

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.
