As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
This is a simple lesson in how to cure feeling inadequate, lonely and in need of validation.
The first thing you need to do is get a cat. Probably should be a she cat as male cats think more with piss, fang and claw.
Next after that stupid action, you will have a cat that ignores you and will only be around you when you are doing something and then demand attention, pissing you off.
Second thing as this relationship becomes like all human and cat relationships, you need to get a puppy.
The cat will hate the puppy. Be careful that the cat does not claw the eyes out of the puppy, as you must remember your self esteem rests on this.
In however long this takes, you will have a cat that hates the dog. A dog that loves the cat pounds the cat, the cat will protest, scratch and bite and make protest noises, until they both decide how to deal with each other in exhuberance and ignoring.
So now we come to the you part. During this time of dispute, you will have been petting pupy and cat, and they will be seeing that you pet the puppy and the cat. Each will want what the other has which is you.
Now comes the part where they probably will get into a dispute with you between them, like happened to me. Cat though did not bite nor claw me, and puppy did not bite or claw me, as they knew who they were contending with and that I was the prize not to be harmed.
OK, so you will be laying own or sitting. Mine was in bed where puppy was laying by me resting, and kitty jumps up on bed and wants to be where puppy is laying on my chest.
Puppy of course will want to nose kitty and kitty will offer opportunities to get close so you think, 'This is going to be a fang and claw thing and I will bleed", but in my case it did not happen.
What followed was puppy laid by kitty. Kitty gets up and lays on my chest and parades around on top of me. Puppy looks at kitty and makes protest noises as I am puppy property.
Cats are fickle so kitty moves off of me, and puppy of course gets the opening and on my chest puppy now takes position.
Kitty walks over top of me, puppy does not do anything rash, and cat does not do anything rash and lays on my right side.
Puppy then is hot on top of me, and goes to lay on the right side where the fan is, and that is where the cat is. Soon the cat is on me again, looking disgusted at all of this effort to entice me. So she moves off, puppy moves back on, then moves to the left side and back comes kitty to the right side and both lay sleeping. Puppy gets hot again and goes the fan side, and TL walks in and sees the wonderful attention I have just had showered upon me.
It does not stop as the kitty then wants to prove she is puppy's friend and as I leave, the entire scenario repeats with TL as the focus of possession.
So, look, you are half nuts anyway in having too much time on your hands wondering about validation and if people care. Normal people are too poor and hungry to be wondering about such things. So when a cat and dog who have their own psychosis in all that goes on in cat and dog brains, makes you the center of attention, because they are just as nuts as humans, you don't lay there and analyze things. You just accept that two animals for probably the most psychotic reasons are jousting over you. Yes the same cat who ignores you and the same puppy who loves sniffing various kinds of shit in the lawn in not coming when you call them. So yes you are somewhere in this world between various forms of shit being preferred and a cat that has no use for you, except to serve them, but you don't think about things like that as you are wondering why you got a dog and a cat who own you like a slave, treat you like a tar baby, and only want you when they see something else in this world is getting your attention.
That is the cure.
Nuff Said.
