Chatting to an acquaintance one day, we somehow got onto the subject of dating and animals. Apparently companion animals can be extremely possessive of their human friends. The acquaintance told me he once dated a girl who had a dog.
“I couldn’t even put my arm around her without the dog going nuts,” he said. “They don’t like it. They think of their human companions as their spouse.”
“Really?” I said. This was the first I had ever heard of anything like this. I wonder if Brett has any problems on the dating scene. Somehow I don’t think so; all he has said is that Butterscotch and Gingersnap love being around people, much to his cat-hating friends’ chagrin.
I then started laughing as I remembered hearing a story about a cat who liked to sniff his owner’s privates. I could never find out whether this was true or not; certainly my dozens of cat books never mentioned the possibility, although I did read in one book that cats do like sniffing people’s arm pits.
I recounted this story to my acquaintance and he said, “That makes sense. Which parts of the human body smell the most? The privates. And what do animals do in the wild? They sniff each other’s butts. They don’t sniff each other’s faces. So it makes sense that the cat would sniff his owner’s privates. He’s just trying to get to know him.”
Ew!
