Me and kittens.
Before someone says that this should be in random, or general talk, or appreciation, it shouldn't. This is truly something I've found brainexploding, and worthy of deep thought.
I have this deep connection with cats, always have ever since I was little. I would collect stuffed animals of them, meow like them, I even went around on all fours, not to mention I had (And still have) a tendency to eat cat treats when no one is around. (One time at a sleepover someone tried one and threw up, I was the only one out of three girls able to keep them down, I never told them that I had been eating them for years.)
My first pet was a dog, but I can't remember him (My brother is actually named after him, he was a German Shepard.) so in my memories my first pet was and is Buttons, an orange tabby who currently is old, drooly and losing his fur, I'm going to miss him. I've lost three cats so far in my lifetime, Fritz, Spooky and Sheba. I can't remember Sheba, but i can remember the other two so well. Spooky used to sit on the table in the kitchen and survey the surroundings, Fritz had to be put to sleep because he couldn't control his body.
Now about 12 years later from when i can remember my first cat experience I've come to realize how deep my connection goes. Wherever I am I am able to befriend cats, the most feral of them will still run from me, but I am able to get closer than other people and able to hold a staring contest with them. The kitties in the garage behind this one restaurant know to expect leftovers from me, petting and even blankets if I can steal them from the laundry room. The cats in my house know that they have it good and are so unique that no other cat could replace any of them. Each cat i meet holds some sort of special place in my heart.
Rosie has always been my princess, I got her when Buttons ran away for a bit...we thought he had gone away forever...anyways she is the princess, she's fallen down ladders and stairs and is missing all of her fangs.
Buttons is the oldest, I've already mentioned him. He drools, he has an allergy to lactose and he always gets to eat first from the food bowl.
PJ is the burn-victim, his last owner set him ablaze and he has burn scars on his lower back (Now just covered by his long black fur, but if you brush it slightly you can see the bald patch.), he carries a very human air around him, deep green eyes and always there when you're sick.
Tora, the fattest kitty I've ever had, meows like a kitten and is often mistaken for a girl because of his beautiful colouring. (Gray with tan and black tabby, long fur.)
And Bones, the youngest of them all gotten from the garage behind some restaurant, very sweet, but VERY annoying at times. 'Bones go away, go awa--no that's MY keyboard...get of now.'
Being kicked upstairs, I shall post the rest of my thinking soon.

This is heartwarming, and full of animalistic wisdom.
When I was younger I actually tried the dog bacon strips which wasn't that bad compared to my grandmas cooking.

Re: Me and kittens.
So anyway to my original train of thought. I was sitting on the porch swing and recently four cats moved into our yard from the barn nearby (The mom and her three kittens.) So the black and white one, known as Xiao Mei (Shao May.), sort of rolls around here and there and I pick him up, lately he's let me pick him up so that's no surprise. Hoping for the best I place him next to me on the porch swing, fully expecting him to run away as usual, but instead he lays down next to me, rests his chin on my thigh and purrs as I pet him. He even rolled onto his back and patted at my hands lightly as I tried to poke his tummy.
It was a heart touching moment, never has a wild kitten done such a thing...Dad doesn't want to let them stay, but there's no way in hell that I'm letting their sweetie of a momma and Xiao leave me...the other two kittens can run off if they need to, but Xiao STAYS.

Re: Me and kittens.
I remember these dried meat stick things I used to have for my dog, always thought they kinda smelled good.
Hey, my cat-hating grandma finally caved and let me and my brother get cats! Both kittens from the litter my mom's cat had a few months ago, mine is a calico I named Samhain, and my brother's is a male mackerel tabby named Snake.
Snake is calm and laid back, but Samhain is curious and climbs everywhere, but they both love sleeping in my lap (or just my computer chair if I get up) more than anything else

Daaaaw kitties nyaaaa~ Dog treats have much less taste than most cat treats, or the kinds I've had at least. The other two kittens look almost exactly like the mom, but one has a big orange mark over one eye. (They've been named Zuko and Azula.) But Xiao is mine, he cuddled up to me again when my mom and brother were sitting next to me...it's like when I first met Bones.

Re: Me and kittens.
I'm like that with dogs. I've always loved them. Though, that one dog I had, (Ben) I hated. But I look back now and realize that it wasn't his fault he growled at me every time I walked by. We apparently used to be very close, but then he got a fever and went insane. He had markings like a German Shepard, but his hair was so puffy, it was cute. He would always steal Simba's food. Simba's an idiot sometimes, but not the annoying kind, the really cute kind. Like that one time he thought he was going to be all tough and growl at this cat, the cat scratched him and he went "YIPE" and ran away. It was lulzy as all hell. Now the new one, Saxon, is being retarded. He broke my Xbox, he makes Simba fall all the time. Grr. But he still adores me, even though I kicked the fucker quite a few times. (When something hurts MY dog, I go off. My dad's dog can go fuck itself.) Sure, he's adorable when he isn't trying to kill my dog, but until he learns that Simba's too old for this shit, I'm going to be pissed at him.
Once, I was over at my friend's grandma's house, and my friend warned me that the dog runs away from everyone that isn't part of the family. I walk in, and the dog comes running at my feet. It didn't last long, but then, that night, we were watching Howls Moving Castle, and she sat on my lap. They were freaking out. That happens a lot, now that I think of it... Once, I went inside this one lady's house, and she was all, "watch out! They bite." They came up and licked my hand and let me pet them. Aside from the neighbor dogs, I've never seen a dog hate me (Those neighbors are all fucking evil, so that doesn't count)

Crayola gets the doggies, but I call the pussies! For some reason I just thought of the worst animal to have a weird connection with...a giant horny goat...

I have, unfortunately, had some experience with a horny goat.
I've always wondered what my dog's bacon treats tasted like. They smell like the deer jerky my grandpa used to make, but I've never been brave enough to taste it. Don't they use human taste testers for pet treats and food?
Cats usually like me. If I can get close to a stray, especially if I have food, then I can make them like me.
I don't know many dogs besides the ones in my family, though. The last dog I was unacquainted with bit my finger. The owner lied about its nature, though. We were told it was being abused by her son but when we got there it was fine. It was supposed to be a sweetheart, but it snapped at me a few times while at the same time jumping on my leg, acting as if it wanted to play. Come to think of it, my grandpa's dog didn't like me much, either. It was fine with me for a while, but then one day whenever I would come around it would bark and growl at me.

Heh... you're not the only one. My hair curls on top the same as my friend's poodle. It's funny, until I realize that my hair and the poodle's feel the same, too.
