I've been out of town for the 4th of July holiday. It was fun, but I'm bushed. I need a vacation from my vacation.
Wow...this just seems like a bad idea.
"I share my home with eleven cats," says South African Riana Van Niewenhuezen. "Four cheetas, five lions, and two tigers."
Yes....I love cats. Yes.....I love going to the zoo to see the big cats. Yes....like other cat-lovers, I've always thought, Oooh....how fun to actually pet a lion." But come on------you just don't have eleven jungle-sized cats running around a human-sized home. If nothing else, the cat box logistics are a nightmare.
This scares the heck out of me. What happens when you don't immediately give kitty the tuna sandwich? Does he shove your head in the garbage disposal with their ginormous paws? Do they poop in your sink? And what do you do to tell the humongous cheetah to get down off the counter? I use a spray bottle for my cat....do they have a mega-sized water gun? Or maybe a fire extinguisher?
Given how possessive animals can be about their food, doesn't this seem stupid? Putting a cat bowl in the middle of your card game seems crazy. Didn't we learn anything from that lady who kept a chimpanzee in her house last year? It attacked a friend and ripped off most of her face, and the woman is permanently blind and disfigured. This just seems so irresponsible.
Even well-behaved pets have little skirmishes. Don't come crying to me when your dogs become midnight snacks. Weren't eleven cats enough, by the way? Do you really want to add more pets to the mix? The smell in that house must be wretched.

Laura I am so happy that you stopped.
This story is insane. I agree with you 100% on this whole mess.
I don't even get it, why is she doing this?

Did you notice that Cat Woman is wearing Levis? I still think of that brand as a USA icon, though that's not true anymore. My pair was made in Columbia. Still, I feel a sense of pride when I see them on "foreigners". As for this woman: Hmmm, I've learned with domesticated animals, like horses and scarlet macaw, that all animals still have wild instincts. She is playing with fire.
