I give up

[Percival]

Hi Bionca,
In light of all the flattering and encouraging replies you've received I can only corroborate with them all. I only wish you lived a little closer than Australia, is it? Unfortunately it seems to me that I'm trying to crack this code myself. So far, every TGirl I've met (and I AM new to this) is professionally oriented, which I understand entirely. We are many of us professionals in various fields, we have something special and want to be paid for it. I hope that there are other girls like yourself out there. Of course, in both our cases, there's nothing to be accomplished by giving up. All the best.

Hey there, I think Bionca is actually in the US. If she was in Australia i'd be knocking her door down ;o) Where do you live?

[Bionca]

Given my deep attraction to Aussie blokes, if I lived in OZ I think I would be in some sort of constant erotic coma and unable to type, move, or really do much more than blink and drool.

I live in the middle of Ohio in the US. Recently moved back after a rather nasty break up with my long-term guy.

As far as the cats comment, it's really a comment on living alone. The proverbial "crazy cat-lady". I actually prefer dogs - you get the feeding and the dead mice (and assorted critters); but also get kisses and someone happy to see you.

Also, you guys are a riot. Everyone who has commented has at least made me smile.

Bionca, I know you to be an intelligent person.

And so it is with dismay I see you prefer dogs to cats.

The cat is a superior animal. Dogs are stupid no matter how well one trains them. They lack the actual intellect cats do. This is why a person can abuse a dog and it will come trotting up to be petted.

Not so with the almighty cat. Cats are truly intelligent animals.

Intelligent animals for intelligent people. You deserve a cat Bionca.

hmm.. the eternal war between dogs and cats...

I don't take sides, I really love all animals.. except birds.. they totally freak me out. Seriously.

I grew up on a farm, so I have met my share of plain stupid dogs and cats for that matter. I do adore the kitties tho. In high school I had two cats Isabelle and Sheeba. Sheeba plainly hated every single human - except me. I'd come home from school and every day she'd meet me at the door and let out a series of short "meeows". It was like she was scolding me for leaving her in the care of that "crazy woman" my mom.

Isabelle was also totally my baby (tho she technically was my brother's cat). She'd lay down across my shoulders and the back of my neck like a scarff or a shrug (type of sweater/wrap thing for you guys). She'd sleep that way if I was really still and purr in my ear. Every so often she'd twitch her tail and hit me in the nose or the eye. So, yeah I loves the kitties.

Given my projected living situation (urban, small or no yard, alone, working) a cat would be a more appropriate pet. I do, however, dream of a time when I can own lots of land and have a dog rescue. Pretty pahetic dream I know, but whatcha gunna do.

and Ogryn... thanks for the "Intelligent" comment I appreciate it.

If you're going to own lots of land, why not have a Llama farm?

[bobbsie]

What women doesn't love an Aussie guy? Aside from Australian women that is! Actually, maybe we're more of an acquired taste? But yes, aside from the inevitable erotic coma, you'd love Australia i think. You should visit one day; we have universal health care to help with that pesky coma problem too ;o)

Ogryn1313, couldnt agree more! Cats are intelligent, however they're also quite evil! Not that i believe in good and evil, but if i did, cats would be up there! I love them, but the can be seriously sadistic critters at times.. Although they're not as bad as human i guess.

sometimes when i'm playing with my cats i get the feeling that my cats are playing with me. william s burroughs.

i much prefer dogs, cats are only interested in what you can do for them, its like they think their better than you. a good dog will fight to the death to defend its owners what would a cat do. also cats are evill i've seen cats more then once catching a mouse and instead of just killing it they sit and torment it for a while then kill it. although i did once see a cat stalking along the top of a fence and pouncing onto a pigeon killing it and running off with it, i thought this was very impresive.

Yes, one of my cats is partly feral and she kills anything and everythign that moves (plus some things that don't) Then she eats them! At least she's not wasting what she kills, but i've never seen a well fed cat actually eat a bird before. Anyway, I try and keep her but she is signifcantly smarter than me, which is more than a little problamatic when it comes down to explain who is boss. I don't think it's me anymore. :o(

"like they think their better than you."

Because they are better than us.

Cats toy with mice because it's instinct, that is how they learn to kill. Evil? no such thing as evil in animals. A dog will defend you because you're its meal ticket.

A cat however, doesn't have to rely on you as a dog would. They are smarter.

[bobbsie]

yeah, cats probably are better than us really. More self sufficient! Most of us wouldn't last 10 weeks without a society to feed and shelter us!

I'm only being factious about cats being evil; i don't actually believe in good and evil. You're right, it is their nature.. That being said, i'm a bit soft when it comes to killing, plus I really hate seeing dead and injured animals. Thus the whole vegetarian thing. I think my next pet needs to be a non predator, maybe a rabbit or something.

your kind of contradicting yourself there before you said dogs always come back no mater how much you abuse them, dogs are just loyal. and as for cats being better than us. Lol you obviously don't have a very high opinion of yourself
