Jealous Males
You know how they get. When you start making out with one, all the rest line up and try to shove their way to you.
This afternoon, after Sis got home and was resting her aching feet, I finally had time to give the cat a hug. Our tomcat, Shamash, has been a hyper teenage cat lately, and hasn't been holding still enough to be petted properly lately, not since the first time Adam came over and we started out petting the cat and ended up with Adam petting me, and the cat getting ignored completely.
Today, when the cat was finally sitting still on the couch and looking all cozy, I knelt down next to the couch and petted him, and touched noses to him in a friendly way, just as I often do.
Today, instead of purring and blinking at me, Shamash opened his mouth, stuck out his tongue, and tried to lick my lips and stick his tongue in my mouth.
"The hell?" I said, and watched in great confusion as the cat then reached his front paws for my chest.
"Stick to your own species, Shamash!" Sis scolded, then burst out laughing.
We finally figured that since Adam had gotten all my attention by sticking his tongue in my mouth and grabbing at my chest, Shamash was trying the same tactics. Cats, Sis says, can be astounding mimics.
Oy vey. All I need is Shamash hitting on me too, besides Darkside and Adam...
...and yes, next time when Adam comes over to "play", I'm definitely locking the door and locking the cat *out*... that's one complexity that our lack of a relationship can do perfectly well without.

ROTFLMFAO. Cats are so funny. I have this one cat that whenver my mom and I (his two favorite people) try to have a conversation he starts screaming and bites our feet or ankles until he has our complete attention... AGAIN.

'Mosh-pit's a stripey mutt cat. He's really jealous of Adam. Nobody else -- Uncle Alan plays with him, Neighbor plays with him, Darkside plays with him... Adam doesn't. Adam plays with Azz, and that makes Mosh unhappy.
