I like the piece but will resist the obvious temptation to respond to the content...  < !signature-->the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost [This message has been edited by pegasus111 (edited 12-14-2000).] |

good question... beware of cats they will stab you in the back and leave you face down in a pile of kitty litter.. I will shut up now. "an afixiation a fix on anything the line of life the limb of a tree the hands of he and the promise that s/he is blessed among women". Patti Smith |

This was great! Oh, and i'd rather be stabbed in the back by a cat than be bitten in the balls by a dog. Anyway! Good one!  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them! |

Well, there are all sorts of people, and all sorts of cats. Could be that some would sleep on anyone's lap, some would have to get to know you first, and some would never trust anyone. Nice question.To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

oh,i will be grateful if more people would attempt this challenge...heres another thought.. if people are cats, i will be a skinny starved tabby, for though cats fancy catnip, i cant imagine myself eating THAT if people are cats, i will be a skinny starved tabby, for my stamina isnt in good condition mice grin and birds chuckle as they escape from me and witness me collapsing, breathless if people are cats, i will be a self assured tabby for people would see me as gorgeous as skinny people are |

Kaile, Interesting challenge! If cats are people would people be cats? would they scratch the furniture? and lick themselves clean? They are already so distant, in a world of their own, If people were cats, this world might be a better place, with a new species, controlling this place, more humane for sure! Pardon my ramblings!

Kaile, trust, like respect, must be earned. If someone trusts you enough to lean upon you, they'll also know that you'll be there to catch them when you fall. If there's one person who trusts you that much, I think it doesn't matter how many are there, coz there is that 1. _,,,^.^,,,_ |

I've never known a cat trusting enough to sleep on anyone's lap. Then again, all the cats I know seem to take after me... Hmmph.written in blood before everything went black |

This is gorgeous.. Okok, lemme try..If people were cats who'd feed us? Who'd love us? There'd be no lap to sleep on and no-one to comfort - what dreary living feline people would make! umm... Luv, Lynne It's nice to share - kiss someone when you have a cold. |

LOL, I never read this thread before. If people were cats, would dogs still be called man's best friend? If people were cats, does that mean more of us would meow on fences and hiss evertime we were pissed off? If more of us were cats, I'd have to share my catnip stash! Meow!! Of course I'd be one of those foolish trusting furballs, so yes, I'd probably curl up for a nap. |
