Aspie Obsessions

Post Reply New Topic

Kraftiekortie,

Samantha was an unusual cat. She loved the same music I did and we used to listen to music together. I think Asperger syndrome could be called the "Siamese syndrome," because Siamese do their own thing. Samantha befriended all of the family dogs. She hated other cats, but loved our dogs. My second Siamese, Prince, was best friends with our dog, Partner.

I currently just have one cat, C.C., a Calico. She is fourteen years old and recently recovered from oral surgery to remove bad teeth. She is eating remarkably well.

It wasn't just a new house lol- it was every time we even moved something more than an inch away.

Floyd sounds like he was funny lol, I know Tigger was (my cat).

Istomin: I had a white/orange Calico once named wh***y. She was so dignified---like a Victorian lady.

She only hissed once in the approximately 3 years that I had her. That was when she got a shot because she had the flu. I had to give her away because I moved into a place that didn't allow cats.

Stampy: I got Floyd when he was 4 months old. This was long before you were born--in the 1980s. He bonded to me right away; I knew it when he just reclined on my chest, and purred away. He knew he would be well-taken care of. He only liked people food; he hated cat food. He never grew up in all the time I knew him; he was always a little boy. Every time I opened the fridge to get food, Floyd would be by my side, meowing and begging like a dog.

Yep, Floyd was very nice. Very good-natured. But he was so finicky! Perhaps I spoiled him a little.

People food IS much tastier than cat food. Cat food always has a sort of a nasty smell.

Still, I spoiled Floyd too much; he should have gotten used to cat food.

You know that when a cat likes you he/she truly likes you. They don't give affection easily (except for Floyd; he was more of a dog, anyway!)

When I was 15, I had a cat named Zum Zum who was a pedigree Persian. She couldn't be exhibited in a cat show, though, because she was so stubborn. She might have been spoiled--but she was also street-wise.

I was so down because my mother's boyfriend punished me for no reason. It made me want to run away and become a monk. I just laid in the bed all day.

At this time Zum Zum came onto my chest, and just nuzzled it (and my face) until I smiled. She would get so angry when I brushed her, though.

Zum Zum did not like any other person--ever.

Zum Zum seems like the most stubborn cat. It's nice how she knew you needed comfort, though.

She was a very stubborn cat, and wanted her own way, always......

But if she was your friend, she was your friend for life.

That nice. I like how she was loyal .

My first special interest was trains, but then at about age 6 it became space travel and although I have had other special interests it always comes back to that. I have also become very interested in computer science.

I would!

I quite happily put myself forward for a one man one way mission to anywhere in space

It's not my current obsession, but when I was three, I was obsessed with 101 Dalmatians and I think it was my most intense special interest ever. It was also my first. I was so obsessed with it that I only would wear clothes that had dalmatians on them. I couldn't wear anything else for at least a year. That also was the year I was first diagnosed.
