@carwinew@tinamarie1974 In general, I like Neil Diamond. But he had some of the lamest lyrics (in otherwise enjoyable tunes) out there:
“No one spoke at all, not even the chair”
“Songs she sang to me, songs she brang to me”
@carwinew@macromeh@tinamarie1974
There are some TV commercials like that for me. If I can’t sprint across the room to mute them I stick my fingers in my ears and go *la-la-la-la-la" until they’re over.
Whether I am a cat person is entirely dependent on the cat in question. We have one long hair that basically avoids people except when it’s time to eat and pukes pretty much once a day. That cat could run away and I wouldn’t look for it.
Our other cat is fun and loving and currently is guarding our chickens from a new cat that just moved in. Our cat weighs in at 26 pounds so he can take care of himself. I like that cat.
I’m a cat person and people knowing this is not an issue. I have nothing against dogs but I think the level of effort to properly care for one is beyond me on my own. Taking them out for shits and walks every few hours.
However the fact that I just allowed this to occour may also make me undatable.
@callow the 4 kittens and mom were caught a few days ago because they were under the garage. Idk if they are staying. They are not really causing a problem since they are staying upstairs away from the two resident cats and I have both security cams on them. And other than some hissing at me they are fine.
Kittens will become cats and 7 cats must be approaching crazy cat man. But I have volunteered at one shelter and been to the other and the people there are great but they also regularly had up to 100 cats/kittens. I’m reluctant to turn them in. They at least need to be friendly so they get adopted.
@lisaviolet I like mom just calmly rolling through in the middle. She’s heading for the open window and I assume just thinking whatever they are leaving me alone, they can have at it.
I like outside cats who kill mice. I’m stuck with two inside one of which has decided after 9 years to poop beside the litter box. These are my only two and last cats of my life.
I like cats, I really really do … I prefer dogs, but I do like cats. I just don’t have one because I don’t live in a place where they can roam free without becoming roadkill and I just can’t be ok with having a litter box in my teeny-tiny house. But I really do like cats … even though dogs are better.
I’ve had so many cats over the years that I figure my DNA is about 50 percent cat. (Though luckily most of my cats have lived long lives, so I guess not that many cats.) Currently, four run the household, along with one dog. I’m secretly hoping a fifth one will adopt us soon.
I am a complete cat person to the point that I don’t even have to tell people. I advocate for TNR, wish to win the lottery to fund cat rescue, am making plans to foster, and have two adored furballs in my home now.
I love most all animals. There was a snake once; got into the house and I wasn’t allowed to love it but, I did help it to leave the house unharmed. I regularly catch and relocate Western Diamondback Rattlesnakes from my workplace. They just can’t hang out under people’s cars, or hide in the shrubs next to the front door, and wait for the sun to go down.
But cats; yes, I love cats. I’ve always had a two cat limit rule but about five years ago I adopted my daughter’s cat when she moved to a no pets allowed apartment. He’s 14 years old now and is starting to get old cat issues. One more cat than two is exponential. They do behave nicely and bring much love to our home. That is an exponential factor too. One of the cats, the adopted one, likes to craft. He makes toys out of his feces and bats them around the house. His hobby subtracts from the love.
I guess I’d be considered a cat person. We have a couple of cats. The oldest is 21 years, the youngest six are four weeks old today. And a few more in between.
My website that I started back in 1997, is “lisaviolet’s cathouse”. I have a youtube channel with lots of cat videos. (The kitten in the logo is the original Lisa Violet, graphic drawn by a graphics person from a photo of baby Lisa.)
I’m allergic to cats. I have no interest in nurturing a pile of fur and needles. Domesticated cats shouldn’t be allowed to roam free outside killing for fun. And the thought of having a litter box in my space is extremely unappealing.
However, if you could ask cats they would say I’m a cat person. They often show me a level of affection that infuriates their ignored and bloodied owners.
…I said
@tinamarie1974 a Neil Diamond fan by chance?
@carwinew me, no. My mom, yes. Grew up listening to him

Give me a break.
@carwinew @macromeh I do enjoy singing them when I am drunk for some reason!!!
@carwinew @macromeh
@tinamarie1974
Oooo, you inflicted a relentless earworm on me!
@carwinew @Kyeh @macromeh sorry!! Let me fix that
@carwinew @macromeh @tinamarie1974
I guessed what it was after the first few seconds and didn’t listen but it might still get me yet!
@carwinew @Kyeh @macromeh it is a killer for me, cannot listen to it
@carwinew @macromeh @tinamarie1974

Do you mean “person who likes cats” or “human/cat hybrid?” Because the answer to both is no.
I have two cats by the way.
I’m waiting for PooltoyWolf’s opinion before I say anything
I am a cat, pretending to be human.
Cats are people, too.
@Kyeh
Cats are people too
And also people are cats
It’s commutative
I don’t like cats. And I’m allergic to cats. So I have 2 cats and get allergy shots.
I’m more of a pasta person, but y’all eat what you like…
@shahnm
Rat person here. Don’t mind cats but can’t have in house. Not interested in putting the time to train one.
@Zachcrius You do realize that you can’t train cats - they train you.
@Zachcrius I had a pet rat once. Largest pair of balls that were ever in my house.
The kind of cat person who when asked how many cats are in the household shocks the person who asks by the quantity. Oh, by the way we like dogs too.

@unksol Adorable! How many kitties are there?
@unksol
You just need to meet a nice woman who’s a vet, or vet tech - or works at an animal shelter …
@Kyeh @unksol
@Kyeh @macromeh @unksol what show is that from?

@unksol Great video!

… that I am!
@hchavers Popeye?
@hchavers @Kyeh
I Am what I Am
Theological Popeye
Now eat your spinach
@hchavers
…a tenuously reformed zookeeper, i.e., an animal person in general with only one dog-shaped shadow, currently (God help me!).
… less annoyed by cats than by dogs
That really depends how anime we’re talking about here.
I am a human person who likes dogs and cats but prefers dogs.
a dog person…
I like outside cats who kill mice. I’m stuck with two inside one of which has decided after 9 years to poop beside the litter box. These are my only two and last cats of my life.
I was, but I got better.
Loads of cats and a few dogs when I was younger, but only cold-blooded critters in recent years. Mostly fish, but a couple of reptiles & amphibians.
I like cats, I really really do … I prefer dogs, but I do like cats.

I am a cat person. I can’t wait until I get back into a space where I can have one again. Mr. Bones was a long time ago.

@Oneroundrobb They are attracted to you because you don’t bug the shit out of them trying to be their friend.
Definitely not a CAT “person” for obvious reasons.
@Walterbird I’m with you. Some of the most terrifying memories I have as a child was a relatives big ass dog jumping at you.
And then working as an adult on your side of the line an unleashed German shepherd coming at full sprint
Dogs who don’t know the limit of their territory still bother me.
@Felton10 “Nice dish you’ve got there, it would be a shame if someone, say, lifted up one side and then dropped it, making a startling noise.”
Where does not-a-cat-person-but-wears-catshirts fit in?
@narfcake wait, you are not a cat person?
@narfcake But WHY?
@mfladd
@mfladd and a dog person. Did Alexa untie you so you could post???
@tinamarie1974 Alexa is a cruel mistress, but I still love her.
I like cats… I just can never decide on a side dish…
@chienfou I like people but comedians taste funny
