my sister rescued a feral cat she found, who was starving, diseased and feverish and pregnant. that was 14 years ago, the cat is still with her as a lap cat with attitude.

Are Feral cats the more wild cats of which can live outdoors for the most part?

I have only bonded with a couple dogs in my lifetime. One is my sister's dog. What is so amazing is that from our initial meeting, we immediately bonded, and we can read each other. She loves when I come to visit. She stays by my side the entire time I am at my sister's house and she loves to play soccer and go for walks with me. I could honestly call her my best friend and companion. I love her with all my heart. I have never felt this way about an animal. I grew up with 2 dogs a 2 cats. 1 dog and 2 cats at a time. I have never bonded with cats, and they bother me, quite frankly. They act bossy and controlling and they don't respect personal boundaries. Including nice cats. Anyway, I am rambling.

Do you have a cat/cats, kk? Or, a dog? Do you like dogs? We once had a horse, and I absolutely love horses. I bond with horses, quite easily. They are exquisite creatures. I am also fond of cows. I don't come across them, but on the rare occasion, but, I adore them.

This is going to sound funny: but I had a cat who was my best friend when I was 15. She was a grey Persian longhair who, basically, prevented me from going over the "deep end."

I used to be rather severely afraid of dogs---but I came around as an adult. Nowadays, though I'm scared a little sometimes, I can pet dogs, and play with them.

A feral cat is, basically, a domesticated cat who was once in a home, but either was forced from a home, or left it on its own accord. Subsequent generations of cats from this one cat are also probably considered "feral." Not quite "wild," like a bobcat---but really close.

There are feral humans, too. They are the ones who were raised by animals, and have difficulty adjusting to "civilization."

I like horses, too---though I'm afraid to ride them because I was thrown from one when I was 8. I was made to get back on the horse by a camp counselor, resulting in me falling again. The horse was a temperamental horse, and I should never have been riding him/her. I do feel a bond when I'm around horses, though. I used to enjoy the show "Mr. Ed" very much when I was a kid. And I enjoyed other shows about horses, too.

I don't know that much about cows; I haven't been around them that much.

my dad as a child had a pet farm cow, a bull named Ferdinand, who acted like a dog.

Ok, I will do. Thank you, a b ! Interestingly, it wasn't the people I had been empathetic towards, but, rather, others in the threads. It has not occurred for a couple years. It has helped to acquire knowledge regarding the vastly differing ways that we can all process emotions. I do wish to respect others needs, and level of comfort. Anyway, thank you, again.

prego be aware that some people react badly to kindness.

Mickey Mouse is having a nasty divorce with Minnie Mouse.
Judge: "I'm sorry Mr Mouse , but after reading your statement I can't grant you grounds for divorce because your wife has buck teeth"
Mickey: "I didn't say she had buck teeth, I said she was f*****g goofy!"

How lovely! Ferdinand. That is a wonderful name for a cow/ bull. I would have enjoyed meeting him. It would have been interesting to observe a dog-like disposition in a bull. I can hardly bare to use these emoji's as they remind me of SSF and I miss her, profoundly.

"SSF"? can you tell me who was that person? and Ferdinand would be so glad to see my dad when he came home from school, that he would sidle up to him sorta prancing sideways, tail swishing about, mooing loudly.

I never really gave much thought to cows until I saw them in India. And there's no way to really describe how amazing they can be in writing.
Decided I was going to take a picture of every one that I saw, but gave up after a day. Then broke my camera while holding it between my toes in order to film a scooter ride.

Not sure that I could possibly offer adequate tribute to auntblabbly.

I feel it’s better to have offer “inadequate” tribute than no tribute at all.

Is there a "pot of gold" emoji?

thank you for thinking of me

You're one of my favorite people here.

Yes, what is that? I know there are folks who perceive kindness as weakness and/or stupidity, and I have read that the same type of person will tend to loathe those character traits, and/or the people who possess them. I guess that's the answer in a nutshell. I have a problem where, if I see such people being treated differently, or poorly, even justifiably, so, I feel deep empathy for them. Particularly if they are being ignored. There is definitely something wrong with that, and I have only, recently, noticed this about myself. I cannot manage witnessing anyone being ignored, rejected or ostracized. It touches a nerve, and breaks my heart. Even if I am the one being ignored, rejected, or otherwise, it is the worst feeling in the world, to experience. rambling.

you make me feel very welcome here indeed us aspies oughta stick together
