    Technically I don’t know that it’s offensive to taste.

    And my dog likes it.

    But I’m still not going to check.

      This is one of the reasons I don’t like dogs who lick people. I’m fine with your dog until he starts trying to lick me.

      I also don’t like when your laying down, and the cat walks on your chest, just to block your view of the tv, and sticks it’s butthole in your face. You’re all like “eeewwww, no cat butt!!!” But the cat is like “meow!”. You have to tell them “Look, we’ve been over this. I don’t speak meow. You need to learn more words. Like if I pull a can of f-o-o-d out, you go nuts. And I have to spell that word, because I’m not trying to excite you, and then disappoint you. Because I’m NOT an asshole, and am being empathetic to YOUR feelings. Unlike you.”

      And she says “Meow”.

      And I say “I still don’t get the nuances of meow language. It can’t be one word that means everything. This isn’t Hawaii.”

      And she says “Meow.”

      It’s a losing battle trying to teach cats to speak english when they lack vocal cords. But maybe it’s a good thing they can’t speak. They could be like carrots. Always screaming how much pain they’re in, and how they have a baby carrot at home. All just because I’m trying to make a salad.

      Now…cucumbers? They scare me. They’re practically giddy to be chopped up. Real masochists.

      But at least they’re not smug, like George Clooney. The smug bastard!

        Cats aren’t necessarily intending on sticking their butt in your face. They see you as vulnerable when you’re laying down, and since they respect you, they’re going to guard you by facing the other way to protect you from the open area.

        Totally get the dogs licking you though.

          No, cats do intend to show you their butthole. It’s the highest form of trust and respect a cat can give you. They’re basically saying, “I’m going to show you my weakest spot so you know there’s no secrets between us”

        I’ve heard people with dogs are healthier because they get bacteria from their dogs.

        I saw your name and my partner paused wrestling so I could read the comment aloud. 100% worth it. Way more interesting than The Conglomeration
