Message: [QUOTE="Hey Adrien!, post: 3995141, member: 5787"] I'll try to make this come back full circle: Back home after away for three days and we've switched to feeding our cat Vinny right before bed. He's a meal houser, so splitting up his food into two portions, since we're home more often on summer break, is the plan. Slept great (took Benadryl for two spider bites from our MA trip) and Vinny was back to his regular ways: loafing quietly at the foot of the bed while we wake up. Looks like we have a dog vs cat fight going here. I grew up with dogs from ages 5-24 and cats from newborn to 11 and I've loved all my pets. Vinny is my first pet during adulthood and he's the best pet I've ever had. Using the lexicon of [USER=2809]@CTBasketball[/USER], we have a "chill" cat, who just likes being around us and people. He knows who likes cats and he gives space to people who'd rather him be away. Fun to play with, but not annoying ever until this 4 AM food issue over the previous month. He totally fits our lifestyle: a dog right now would be very binding and hard to maintain. Personally, I don't see us getting a dog until: a) we have kids and they get older to help take care of it, b) we retire, c) we make enough money to afford to have someone come by daily to walk him/her while we're at work. Here's a current shot of Vinny: this guy is made for lounging: [ATTACH type="full"]68157[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
