- Oh, wow, can I relate to that... :) I'm only on my second SO since I got
- my Sammy, and the first one helped me pick him out, so he was never a problem.
- The second one's looking like a keeper, but he didn't like cats at first,
- either. I stood firm, though, even under threats of "it's either me or him",
- and today, he's the one that feeds Sammy, and he constantly tells him what a
- great cat he is, AND I have him convinced that he wants a cat of his own, to
- keep Sammy company! He does occasionally still come out every once in a while
- with a joke about making "mauna pua" (I'm not sure of the spelling, it's a pork
- dish he ate when he lived in Hawaii) out of Sammy, though. At least I know
- they're just hollow threats. :)
