'There is absolutely nothing on this predominantly aquatic planet that could get me to give up my cat for a man.'
People love to throw me relationship hypotheticals. There’s something about a single woman that others jump to challenge, as if she’s not worthy of her own preferences. It’s another form of blame wielded against single women to demonstrate to them that their own singleness is all their fault because they’ve committed the crime of having standards.
And somewhere in the midst of this little game I remind them that I don’t have to settle for scrap, I’m not quite a rodent scavenging on the garbage pile of life just yet, and that any man whose preferences and realities don’t align with my own very simply isn’t the man for me. And that’s fine.
I find this so cute. And it’s the one instance when even my “he’s not the one for me” argument holds little water. It’s so hard for people to believe that a cat could factor into someone’s life in a potent way. It’s just a cat, right?My cat’s name is Clementine. Clementine Josephine Silver for tax purposes. Princess Fluffy Tushy around the house. I adopted her on New Year’s Eve 11 years ago and left the party I was at before midnight because I knew I’d have more fun at home.
Give her up? For partnership? I need details. I need numbers. And most likely some sort of written agreement. How confident in this union do I get to be before I make such a gamble? Give up my cat? With these divorce rates? You are out of your damn mind. My animal has been my primary source of comfort and support for the last 11 years of my life, where the actual hell has he been?!
