Yes
And if those shoes have laces, your new cat will love them.hedonist said:
Cats > shoes.Spiritual_Chaos said:Finally hanging out with Agnes tomorrow. She might go with me to look at a cat I might airport, or pick up some shoes I bought.
Every time.
Please be sure to post a pic of the kitty, should the rescue happen.
Whereas a dog would just eat the whole damn shoe.
I SAW PEARL JAM0 -
The cat I was suppose to pick up, and they wanted me to pick up today but I asked if I could check out tomorrow instead has been given away to someone else now.
Now I will never know how it would be to get to now that cat. Boo.
And now I will have to find something else to do with Agnes."Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0 -

Having said that, we all know what happens when we assume. We've got an admittedly anecdotal and small sample size here that would refute the inverse of your statement and the foundation of my joke. If one were to read the more personal posts regarding domestic life, gender roles, etc. closely enough here from our fellow fans from the US who happen to have a y chromosome (outside of AMT posters and dinosaurs like @Wobbie, that is), I think that the notion of the entire US being backward in its views regarding men and women falls apart.
I'm not saying that the US isn't still fucked six ways from Sunday in this regard -- we do still have a lot further to go until we reach Swedish levels of gender equality -- I'm just saying that assuming that the entire US (including its women) is still cool with mid-20th century bullshit is just that -- bullshit.
Haha.
From the last season of this hit show.
As it is, you should have had her traveling, vacation, drinking, slumber party bestest guy friend take care of it for her. That's the kind of thing modern people do.

I guarantee that walking a dog instead of backpacking a cat would draw some female attention. Positive female attention.Spiritual_Chaos said:I was looking forward to this life:0 -

Dogs like to eat the insides out of a shoe (cause of the smell) which leads to thinking you have a perfectly good pair of shoes until you put them on. Usually boots.dankind said:

It could be a Jersey dog thing, although my current dog is a Puerto Rican rescue. Bueno Perro.
I don't know shit about cats, I'm deathly allergic to them and they creep me out. Their little cat brains know I'm allergic and so they head straight for me with evil little looks on their faces.0 -
Yes
If it's a cat you want, there will be plenty of other opportunities. If you never even met this cat, did you really have a connection with it? There will be another Sigge. Or Findus. Or Smulan. You could even name it Agnes.Spiritual_Chaos said:Fuck. I kinda feel like I missed out on something not adopting 10 months old Sigge the cat.my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf0 -

I wanted to name her/him (the english language do not have a word to combine these two?) Riot Act. But I guess Agnes is only the right thing to name her."Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0

Are you googling swedish cat names?oftenreading said:

You'd say 'I wanted to name it' in EnglishSpiritual_Chaos said:I wanted to name her/him (the english language do not have a word to combine these two?) Riot Act. But I guess Agnes is only the right thing to name her.0 -
But what if its about a human being? You don't say "it" to a human being, or?njnancy said:

Well you'd know the sex of a human being, in most cases. So you'd say I wanted to name him or her. If there were two or more of different sexes you would say 'I wanted to name them'.Spiritual_Chaos said:

If you want to take gender completely out of it you could say 'i wanted to name the cat' or I wanted to name the baby'.

SC, there are lots of other cats that need a good home. Just something to think about...

In Sweden we have:
He = Han
She = Hon
Unknown gender = Hen
You don't have the word for when the gender is unknown/unspecified right, you go with "he/she" ?
Just a question.

"It" for animals, "they/them" for people.Spiritual_Chaos said:
