- You want a cat.
- The Husband is decidedly NOT a cat person.
- The fault lies with a cat his aunt had.
- That cat decided that The Husband's chest (read: nipple) was a great place to hang out.
- So you don't have a cat.
- You've had nine cats in your lifetime.
- Nine.
- The tenth cat's a charm, right?
- You told The Husband you'd wait until you were 40 to get a cat.
- Only 2,063 days.
- Why did you say 40?
- Oh yeah.
- To give him time to get used to the idea.
- Also, the girls would be older and able to help with the litter box.
- There was a method to your madness.
- But...
- Some of your friends have baby fever.
- You have kitten fever.
- Not to be confused with cat scratch fever -- neither the actual disease, nor the song.
- Also not to be confused with a fever where only prescription is more cowbell.
- You know where you can probably play a lot of cowbell?
- In a van, down by the river.
- That has nothing to do with cats.
- That's okay, though.
- Because you're good enough, you're smart enough, and gosh darnit, people like you.

MUWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! All I can say is - cats...blech...I'm not a cat person either.
Just bring one home. Hehe
i'll find you a cat at a garage sale. it might be stuffed. but still. a cat is a cat.
and by stuffed i don't mean a toy.
i loved this post!
I need more cowbell!
"In a van, down by the river" is my second favourite SNL skit. Coming in second to "More cowbell".
Comedic genius.
PS I hope that you get your kitty one day
hubs had 4 yes count them 4 cats when we dated. he got rid of them all b/c my mom is allergic. i guess that was his way of saying 'woman..i love ya and will marry ya'
everyday i hear...i gave up those cats for you. haha whatever i think he was personally sick of taking care of them. i tell him from time to time i want a cat and then he reminds me of the dog we have that i begged for and now don't like! I HATE DOG AND CAT HAIR EVERYWHERE I SIT!
Ok i'm done now!
loved the whole when i'm 40 in 2000+ days.
Steve was opposed to then cat. Then I "adopted" Biscuit. You just have to find a cool stray to feed :)
This sounds similar to me.
All my friends are nuts about getting married.
I am nuts about getting a dog.
Although I love cats. Our family had at least one cat in the house at all times ever since I was born.
I hope your husband caves!
our 15 year old cat passed away a little over a year ago. I dont want to get another cat. She was our 4th cat to go (one ran away). Yesterday, I really missed her. She was such a good mouser.
I've had a cat since I moved out of my parent's house.....my first cat was a persian and lived to be almost 16...and now I have a three year old persian. I'm not a dog person really..but warming up to it. anyway...I find that men who say they don't like cats secretly do...aka my dad having my first cat on his lap and cooing at him like a baby...mwaaaaaahahhahahahaa
baaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaa!!!! so funny!!
LOL I hope you can get your kitten.
I was the hold out in our house. DID NOT like cats. Until there were kittens in Grandmas barn and I watched our children fall in love. Really. Hard. We drove away from the barn and they cried.
The very next day I began a search on line for the perfect kitten. A dog like kitten?
I caved. (gosh this is getting long) We now own the cutest white cat. I will admit. I love him.
I'm sure you can convince the Hubby.
If I can be turned in to a cat person, anyone can.
My new kitten got run over by a neighbor and i'm so sad. I can't even blog about it because we told the girls it ran away or got stolen. My husband hates cats, but I'm spoiled so I get whatever the heck I want. I'm looking for a new cat now. You should just get one. It's easier to ask forgiveness than permission.
I'm allergic to cats! They are nice, but a little snooty in my opinion! I'm so glad I am not allergice to most dogs because I like them better anyway :-).
Seriously the van down by the river made the entire post!
more cowbell! yessss... One of my kids got cat scratch fever for real but that was year's ago. Thanks for the heads up on the kitty thing. Must be an epidemic. We are enjoying Jefferey the kitten.
My husband wasn't a cat person either. Now, we have two. I win.
I say it's all in how you play your cards. It could be so much worse--you could be demanding a Mercedes or a cruise to Alaska or a shopping spree at Bloomie's for crying out loud. All's you want is a cat...
A van down by the river.....I'm laughing so hard now!! Thanks for that!
I love cats...they are so cute. But the sneezing that comes with them? Not so much!
My take is...go get one. All of you go wherever...rescue, SPCA, local vet, pet store (yuck!) and just do it! Decide on a name right then and there! Cats are wonderful and, if you're independent, you need a cat...just do it!!!
Oh man, I feel for ya. Though I finally got my cat-hatin' hubs to let me have one... and then he thought the kittens were so cute, we ended up with two... and now my cat hatin' hubs likes the cats more than he does his two dogs. I am not lying.
I hope you can crack him early. Waiting nearly 6 years is no bueno!!
Frickin HILARIOUS! Thanks for the giggles. And YES I have kitty fever bad too. The, like, KITTY-Cat kind...not the cowbell kind. One probn. Litterpans make me hurl. Kinda a big issue if you want to be a cat owner. That was one of my "tasks" as a child. Back before there was "odor free clumping litter". Thus the hurl part. I digress.
I've got 3 words:
Cats are evil.
That is all.
My husband was opposed to a cat and then he went to Alaska for a week and when he returned we had a new member in our family. He got used to her except when she would steal our pillows at night. She was a pillow hog.
Don't get a cat. Cats are dumb. Kittens are awesome, but then they turn into cats... but maybe if I had a kitten that turned into a cat I would still like it when it was a cat. Probably not.....
