[Please don't flame me for posting anonymously. One of the women
I am interested in - a potential girlfriend, I hope - follows the
net, and for reasons which will become apparent I don't want to
scare her off.]

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.

No. It's merely alt.tasteless jerking the chain of rec.pets.cats
and alt.romance. rec.pets.cats is apparently very well known as
being easy to jerk around and get people all fired up. People
already know my ideas on what to do -- but if you want to start
flaming back and forth and screaming at sysadims, then go for it.
I think it's better to ignore things, but whatever. I've had
enough email from people all upset at me for suggesting we ignore
posts we don't like that I'm now of the opinion that if r.p.cats
gets trashed then I'm just going to enjoy the show.

I have however removed alt.tasteless from the newsgroups line.
Something to think about.

Maybe it was the timing, maybe it was something else I heard this morning,
but I nearly fell of my chair, laughing. Just picturing this makes me
chuckle. It's like something on Saturday night Live.


However, I have been told that my sense of humor is sometimes wierd. I also

Actually, more like one of those mail-in video shows. I saw a clip on
one of those of a cat walking by a lit candle and ending up with its

I would recommend multiple .357 copper-jacketed hollowpoints. Straight
through the arsehole, if you can manage it. A friend of mine has
an S&W .357; I always wanted to borrow it for this purpose, just to see
what the resulting mess would look like.

Or perhaps explosive-tipped would be better? You decide.

Goddamn hairballs.

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

Well, I honestly don't know. By the time I get through with the little
vermin, there usually isn't enough left for me to identify individual
*parts*, so to speak. Next time, I'll use a nailgun, so I should be
able to report back within a week or so.

I don't know....

(reposted from alt.tasteless a day or two ago)

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.

Yup, I was just reading a.t. yesterday. Someone on r.p.c. had recently
commented that a recent flamewar with a.t. was amusing. The call has gone
out to a.t. to begin a double assault on r.p.c. and a.romance. The results
this time should at least be more palatable than tails of cruelty and
dismemberent of animals. I thought the dinner with shower scene posted
earlier today was entertaining.

No flames from me, I'll just sit back and enjoy this.

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.

So your cats ruin your sex-life, eh? Your cats giving you trouble
with your women?

What to do, what to do? Simple.

Start having sex with your cats, give up women totally. Really,
it's the easiest way. Seems you were already good underway.

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?

Hear hear!, Well, ok, get a sense of humor, (sounds like he has some
kind of life?!).

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.

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???

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.

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?

P.S. Why is alt.tasteles in the newsgroups line? I would have taken
it out but my newsreader won't let me.

Yes, there is quite a lot of low-quality newsreader software out
there.

I think Moby(Not his real fuckin' name) is going about the deal all
wrong. Who gives a fuck how he can stop his cats from ovulatin' and
shittin' on his dates. First of all Sooti should be fixed. Take her to
the vet and get her Ovaries ripped out. Or you can do it at home using a
weedeater, duct tape and a gallon of antiseptic.
As for Chaoad(However it's spelled). I find that if you lock him in a
file cabinet in the garage, your date will only notice a curious yowling
which you can blame on the neighbors kids. Tell'er they're squickin'
fluffy. Impress her with those big five buck tasteless words. But don't
give her any definitions until after you fuck'er, unless she's an A.T.er.
Then it's a turn-on.
Well, I hope this advice is helpful. Remember prevention and
preperation can solve any problem.

Dammit, _incinerate_ them for the duration of your date. These animals need
some discipline.

And if they shit on the rug, give them a damn good boot up the clacker.

Actually, it was quite apparent to me that Dale was amused at the fact
that an686
disapproved of his ROOMATE dating two women. And after reading the rest
of the article,
it seemed pretty clear that an686 would in fact be delighted to date anyone,
(even catwoman!).

Anyone who would take in two CATS (yuk!) more than has my respect,
(and condolences).

*Incinerate*? I hope you mean *incarcerate*, or else the phrase
"for the duration of your date" is a little redundant. Or have you figured
out how to unscramble an egg?

I heard a cat once got too close to a candle and caught its tail on fire once...
