I have two cats - Sootikin (Sooti for short) a 2-year old female, and Choad.
Choad (stupid name) is a neutered tom who was dumped on me by my scumbag
ex-roomate (he had been given it by one of the *two* women he was dating
at the time).
I'm not what you would call a real studly type guy (although I
have a lot of women friends), so when I date it's really important
to me. Anyway, Sooti goes into heat something fierce (sometimes
it seems like it's two weeks on, two weeks off). I had a date a
while back, when she was really bad. Yowling, and presenting all
the time - not the most auspicious setting for a date. While
dinner was cooking, I tried to stimulate her vagina with a Q-tip because
I had heard that one can induce ovulation that way. My date
came into the bathroom while I was doing this, and needless to
say I don't think she bought my explanation. The date was a very
icy experience after that.
Choad's problem is that he has really stinky shits (paint peelers).
During my most recent date - I don't know if this was a
jealousy thing - he shit in bathtub. I live in a loft, and the
bathroom is open for ventilation, so in a few seconds we were
gasping for air. Another date ruined, I'm getting desperate.
What should I do. I love my cats, so I don't want to get rid of
them, but I can't go on like this any more. It's my love life,
or them. Please help!!!

(Gross stories about cats interfering with dates.)
Note that this is the second gross story about cats interfering
with dates to appear today. In each instance, the author posts
to both rec.pets.cats, and alt.romance, asking for advice.
The first such posting was not anonymous, and the authors email
address included the name "squick." For more information about
"squicking," consult the FAQ of alt.tasteless.
I suspect that, in both cases, the incidents described did not
really happen.

Why the fuck do people give cats really trendy names like Sootikin? My
cats name is Hamish .. nice Scottish name. I knew someone who called his
cat Fred. Must be fargin yuppies who probably call their children

Ignoring whether this is a true story, I'm sort of amused that the

when even Miss Manners considers it acceptable. (I can send you the

Now you'd have to be real careful. If you don't line the gun up
longitudinally with the cat, or if there's a kink in its spine, then
the bullet's gonna exit through the side of the animal rather than out
through the head so your gonna miss out on spraying the wall with
gloop.
Try nailing it to a breadboard first to make sure its straight and
stop it moving too much.

There was a story in the Daily Mirror 'newspaper' in the UK
a while back about a guy who was arrested by British Transport
Police for 'defiling an animal on the 8.15 to Euston' !!
Apparently, he was sitting with a cat on his lap, got up to
go to the toilet and didn't return to his seat for about 20
mins - the police were alerted by a kindly old lady who was
concerned about the screeching and hissing eminating from the
toliet cubicle !!
According to the report - the police broke down the door and
found the cat lying in the wash basin, half dead with it's
arse split open !
This may be one for our friends in alt.sad.demented.got-no-friends.

Dale,
Please read the entire text before flaming the poor guy. It was his
EX-roommate who had been dating two women, not an686. I'm sure that this guy
would be happy with _just one_ woman, if she wouldn't be scared off by his
cats.
You really can't fault him for being so giving that he would actually
take in two cats that were dumped on him. He's just trying to make the best of
a difficult situation.
Besides, I also think that Choad is a stupid name for a cat, it
would be much a more appropriate name for a salamander.
P.S. Why is alt.tasteles in the newsgroups line? I would have taken
it out but my newsreader won't let me.

Choad needs a buttplug. Of course, it's kind of tough getting
one small enough to fit your cat; you might have to make one. An added
benefit is that if properly inserted, it will press against his prostate.
A fact for which he will be most grateful. You will be able to tell if
he starts dragging his butt along the ground all evening to wiggle the
buttplug.
Otherwise, you could give Choad a kitty enema to pre-emptively
remove the paint peeling shits.

Really, one would be hard pressed to come up with a better example of
reading comprehension ineptitude.
ObRomance: A really attractive chick walks her dog past my place
nearly every day. In order to meet her I've been thinking of renting
a Ryder truck and getting a friend to drive it straight through
her dog. I'd rush out and commiserate in the hopes that our shared
grief would result in a frenzied, savage romp on the curb. Do you
romantic types think this would work?
ObCat: I can't wait until my Savannah monitor is large enough to hork
down live kittens. Mice and rats are fine for now, but kittens have
such big, soulful eyes.
ObTasteless: Do you scan the newsgroup every day in hopes that Snedker
and Rauli will have teamed up to write a vile little fantasy about
Trashcan Man and Roy?

Hey man, I have two adorable (6&7 years old) collies. They get EXTREMELY
jealous when I am dating anyone.
Two normally well trained/behaved animals turn in to the canine
equivilent of Mr. Hyde. I guess you might
say that dogs are a little more responsive to discipline, but hey, you
are THE DUDE to your animals,
If its really causing this many absurd problems in your love life, buy a
couple of cat carriers,
(y'know, what you [hopefully] use to ferry your kitties to the vet?),
and incarcerate them for the duration
of your date.
Besides, I have noticed that most women don't mind going out for dinner
in a nice little outdoor
cafe/restruant, with dancing and/or walking in some cool evening air.
(yes your mileage may vary),
I mean, do you NEED to take your dates to your house/apt.????

I think the only problem would be to get his date to lean over long enough
for him to deliver the coup-d'-gras... I mean, really ... if a woman doesn't
like cats, well, like my mother always said, "there's plenty of fish in the

whom SnowCat and Isis are enamored of.

Well, they *do* make quite a mess unless the woman is fairly obese - then
they just tend to make a small hole going in...

Yeah, my dog (big ol' Chow/Newfie mix...cute, smart, and mean as hell.)
tends to get jealous of someone taking attention from him - but he goes about
things in a slightly different way. He makes sure that he becomes the center of
the girl's attention, by attempting to sit in her lap (ha ha ha an 85lb lap dog.
Real funny...goddamn mutt...) Usually wrecks an otherwise decent evening. That
and a good nose in the crotch works wonders at getting them to leave. I'm
wondering if anyone has any good recepies for dog???

Perhaps I was unclear. My impression from "an686"s remarks is that he
considers dating more than one woman at a time to be unacceptable. I
was looking down upon him as being rather narrow-minded, when even
Miss Manners considers dating more than one person to be acceptable.
Besides, I also think that Choad is a stupid name for a cat, it
would be much a more appropriate name for a salamander.
I believe the name has some sort of historical significance. Perhaps
you should ask the poster for an explanation?
