Love Vs. In Love

To help heal my woes.....I GOT A CAT. 
It's a shorthair domestic, dark grey with light grey stripes. 7 months old. Generally quite but VERY loving. For the next few nights, (Until I get him neutered), He's staying in the bathroom so he doesn't spray the carpet. I let him out for a little while today, I just sat on the floor and he just walked around me in circles rubbing against me over and over and over and over and.................
I can't wait to get home from work.

Good for you dwightfry, he'll be very therapeutic. I appreciate people who like cats. Couple of years ago I had to put down my 20 (yes 20) year old calico cat (they are always female). She developed C.R.F. (Chronic Renal Failure....her kidneys finally gave out). My recipe for her longevity.....she was an "indoor" cat. She never went out possibly exposing her to other cats and their ills (not to mention the automobile). I regret that during her last few years, having so much confidence in her long life, I failed to make visits to the vet. If I had they would have found out with early detection (blood test) the onset of the CRF and it could have been treated. Who knows...lol....she might have lived to be 25 or 30. Anyway, she was a great cat and I have fond memories....(RIP "Maya" 1981-2001)

Some advice from one experienced in such matters: Keep a fresh dish of water available. Keep a dish of dry food available. And, most importantly....visits to the vet, keep shots up-to-date. As he gets older make sure the vet performs a blood test as part of it's checkups. At the vet ask for info about CRF.
Once you get yours "fixed" that will remove the urge from him to wander and if you choose will make it easier to make him an indoor cat.

Best regards and Good Luck!

I had a cat named dracule and he was cool. He had a little white thing on his chin and when he used to hiss, he looked like a little vampire

another vote for "love" being totally different from "in love"
sorry to hear about your situaton dwight, it can be f*cked up
and really confusing, but, and you're probably gonna hear
this too many times, you're still young dude, it sucks now,
but the days keep on rollin, dont let it suck so bad for you that
you miss something in life,(take it from my experience)
cause things are gonna happen the way theyre gonna,
maybe it wasnt meant to be, maybe she'll find out she dont
wanna be without you after a while, you never know
and someone else could come along that makes you forget
this even happened, believe me, i know

just keep an open heart and mind, cause possibilities are endless
and good luck, hope this works out for you
