Getting Trapped by Cats

The three stray cats i took in recently must have taken one look at me, and decided i was a sucker, an easy mark. Or, the mere fact that i did not chase them off at first, or anytime thereafter, gave them the idea that not only did i seem harmless, but might possibly be a food source.

I started manufacturing all sorts of spiritual fatalistic explanations and reasons for my shockingly sudden transition into a pet owner; i had spent ten years without a pet, and had no intention of having any soon.

But, the truth is, I'm just a sucker, an easy mark, and the people who know me best have already confirmed this... which makes me wonder: how many more cats would i adopt, or permit to adopt me, if any more strays happened to show up in my hood? No more cats! (yeah, right...)

Or,an interesting question comes to mind, even more pertinent, how would i react is some attracitve woman suddenly appeared in my life, and started whowing interest in me, interest in me, the way these cats did? I'm a confirmed bachelor, never been married.

I'm open to the idea of marriage, always have been, but not looking, and never have been. Its the same attitude i had in high school. Marriage is a wonderful thing, and if it happens, it happens. But be careful what you wish for. And so forth.

On the whole, a pretty healthy , productive, happy, open minded attitude, I think. But what on god's green earth would i do if someone showed interest in me, blatantly, aggressively, and irresistably, like these three damnably cute kittens did.

Suppose I got a call from, say, paris hilton, and she says something like, "I would really like to go out with you, and get to know you better." You think for a moment I'd say no? Oh Hell no. And, frankly, the same is almost certainly true of any number of attractive felines.

Well, the short answer is, to get right to the point; i'd be dead meat. Trapped. Roped and tied. If cats can do it, so can women. Fortuantely for me ,they don't tend to act that way. Its usually the men who are expected to pursue, methinks, in most of the world's cultures.

so, as long as i do not pursue, I'm reasonably safe, it would seem. But hell, that's what i thought about cats, too.
