Don't worry, I am still more of a dog person than a cat person. I won't change. But having Dahlia and Petunia here has been a learning experience for me. I don't mind telling you all, it's been tough. I went into this deal with a little bit of a growing love for cats. Mostly some breeds. Not necessarily everyday house cats. Though I find the only ones I still don't like are gray tabbies. I'm still sick of seeing those! But neither Petunia nor Dahlia are gray tabbies. Not visually anyway. But someone once told me on Quora that if I love a cat with my whole heart, it's easy to forgive their quirks. Well, I tried that. But with these two, I have decided to try again. It's been VERY hard! I keep having to ask GOD to give me the strength to continue with these kittens, and HE always comes through. I still love them. Just that sometimes that love is hard to hold on to when these kittens do things I don't like.
A lot of what I am studying is also based on what the catfags have said to me over the years passed too. They were always ragging me about how cats are better than dogs, and easy to care for, and not as disgusting as dogs. Well, over these past few months we've had them, I'm learning a lot they have said about them is false. And thensome. For example, people do not believe me when I say cats are just as disgusting as dogs. Well, I've got some bad news for them. Cats are indeed, as disgusting as dogs! In fact they may be even more disgusting than dogs. Cats lick their asses a lot! The smell gets on their face, and then they want to rub your face with their face. The same face they had just licked their butt with. Not only that, but they also lick each other's butt too. Especially Petunia! Petunia will lick Dahlia's butt, and if Dahlia tries to get away, Petunia will just follow her, with her nose in Dahlia's butt all the way. And vice-versa! Dahlia does exactly that to Petunia too. And Mya won't even clean herself! So, where are all these dogs that lick their asses all the time??? I've never seen them! Mya won't. I still have to clean her butt myself. And my sis has seen both kittens sniff Mya's butt at the same time. I thought that was supposed to be the other way around! So any catfag who has said cats don't ever do disgusting things is a fricken moron! I tried to tell them! LOL!!!
Cats also drink from the toilet, whether or not it's been cleaned or flushed. I've also found that they like to play with the used toilet paper floating around in the toilet bowl. Then they want to walk all over your counter tops and furniture. My current furniture is ugly, so I don't mind that much. But I plan to get new furniture, and I won't have no cats playing in the toilet and walking their dirty feet all over it.
I also once met a teenager who inherited her grandmother's dog, and said she hates the dog because she said it always begs for her food. She claimed her cats never beg for her food. Well, so far, I have never seen a cat who did not beg for our food. Petunia and Dahlia both do it. And so did Tux/Venom. Only with cats, it's much worse! Because they can climb up on your lap while you are eating, and get their faces right into your food. Nevermind putting your food on a higher counter to keep it away from the cats! Cats can jump and climb! When Venom was visiting us, my sis made a smoothie and put it up on a shelf to keep the kitten away from it. Well, Venom figured out how to reach it, and climbed up and was licking some of the smoothie my sis made by the time she caught her. So, that debunks the "my cat never begs for, or steals, my food" myth. If 3 different cats we've had here stole food and begged from us, then other cats have to be doing the same thing too!
Another thing they do that I don't like. They like to harass my birds!!! Now, before anyone goes and gives me the "You shouldn't have birds with cats" speech, let me tell you, I have known several people that kept birds and cats together in the same home and they did fine, as far as I know. But so far, I have lost my blue-faced parrot finch male, both Forbes' parrot finches, and one tricolored nun to both of these cats! Those aren't cheap birds either! The Forbes' parrot finches were $450!!! I was MAD!! Or maybe beyond mad. I was PISSED!!!!!!! So now at night, I have to keep both kittens locked up in their crate. That's the atonement they now have to live with for killing my birds! But at least they won't get anymore of my birds again. It's very sad that some birds' lives were lost in me learning that lesson, but it's a mistake I will never make again!
So those are a few things I've learned so far from Petunia and Dahlia. I still, very miraculously, love them. With a lot of help from GOD.
