Things you say to your pets

[Brian37]

I feel extremely lucky with my current cat. He doesn't have a mean bone in his body. I can tease him, and even put my palm over his face, and even give him belly bubbles. "Belly bubbles like a parent gives to a baby. And the worst he does is look at me and to say, "Are you done yet?"

My current cat is my best friend. In fact he scared the shit out of me during a hurricane, as to which we tracked hundreds of miles inland to find a hotel. But I got tired of his caterwauling in his cart. So on the trip I let him out to calm him down. But when we reached the hotel, I forgot to put him back in his container. So I open the van door, and go inside and reserve a room, which took me several minutes. So pleased that got a room, I went back out to the van, to discover MY CAT WAS NOT IN THE VAN!

I flipped out! I started screaming in the parking lot his name. Lucky for me, there was a black woman noticing my behavior, and I told her my cat got out of the van. So she started looking around the parking lot and spotted him in the bushes close to the entry doors. I cannot thank her enough for her calm and assistance.

I can only figure my cat was thinking, "You just pulled me out of my home, there is no way I am leaving your side."
