This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Plenty of straight men prefer cats too.

Obviously cats are better

And plenty of people that aren't straight men prefer dogs.

True, but that doesn't help me espouse on the superiority of cats. How else will I gain Mittens' approval?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

You won't. It's a cat. Cats never approve. Cats don't know affection.

Cats are conflicting for me. They can be cute, but I hate when they try to walk on me. Because I know if I try to move them they’ll probably scratch me. And that’s no bueno to me, just makes me anxious as fuck when they walk my way while i’m sitting on a couch trying to relax.

my cats walk over me like i'm a carpet. sometimes i wake up in the middle of the night with a paw in my mouth or a cats ass on my face. but they never scratch me on purpose.

It’s more when I’ve tried to pick them up, they try to dig in because they don’t want to be picked up. It’s a catch 22 situation.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Well maybe you shouldn't pick up cats you don't know if they don't want that

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

The problem is I tend to shift around a lot, and cats hate that. So i try to “nip it in the bud” to make sure to avoid the situation altogether, but sometimes they sneak up on me while watching a movie or something.

I always assume people that don't like cats also struggle with respecting boundaries.

Lol just keep pulling and the Velcro breaks

Dogs are too energetic and overstimulating for me to be around. I'm fairly allergic to them as well, so I have a decent excuse for the people who insist their dog will be perfectly well-behaved and calm (they weren't).

There are some really lazy breeds out there. Like great danes. They are giant couch potatoes. You will have to give up your couch though.
