im a cat whisperer - the girlfriends cat hates her, wont go anywhere near her, as soon as i get there the cat jumps on my lap and falls asleep just after giving the girlfriend the smuggest look you can do without any facial expressions

I have a deft hand for...cat, too.   ;)

Toonces - Don't ask me, I just close my eyes and take it.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Huw, get a big ass snake as a pet and put it in the cat's bed. One way or the other, problem solved.

She's three years old.  As I understand it that's quite young...?

That said, I'm a dog person and when I retire I will have another pug.

Yeah, looks like I have to wait for retirement, but the second I exit work on my last day I'll be getting a German Shepherd. O0

Huw, give her a few days to get used to you. Cats have to decide whether or not you deserve their attention. Then try a toy to get her to plat a little like a small rope or catnip stuffed mouse. Cats also love to play with any bird feather you find. Cats hate to be ignored so either use this to acknowledge their presence or aggravate the hell out of them whichever is most appropriate for the occasion.

Sounds like a cat to me.  They are lazy, inconsiderate, assholes that occasionally earn their worth as a pet by stooping to your less than cat level of existence by allowing you to pet them.   In exchange for allowing you the privilege of petting them, they will also permit you to feed them, give them water, and clean out their dirty litter box.  Cats are lovable jerks, which is probably  why I enjoy their company.

This is the best advice so far. It takes time to develop a relationship with a cat. They are generally very intelligent (occasionally doing eye wateringly stupid things), but are very picky about who they will spend time with. Playing with them is a great way to form a bond with them. Sir Slash is definitely right with all he's said. O0

Sir Slash, thanks for the advice.  I do try to play with her quite often but most of the time she just stares at me.  I guess I'll keep trying.  She has been coming out of her bed for slightly longer each time.  You'd think she'd be bored as hell!

Catnip can help break the ice.  But forsome cats, it is like a drug.  Just a little to get the cat to open up has worked well.

I miss cats. As a teen we had a stray show up at our door so my mom started feeding her, and of course she stuck around. A bit later she had kittens and my mom brought her inside; the mom cat literally lived in my room and would not step foot outside because she couldn't stand her offspring after they grew up. The offspring were pretty much assholes, though, while the mother cat was a sweetheart. Fortunately my mom gave away the assholes and the mother cat stuck with me until I moved in with my future wife.

She's allergic to cats, so we've not had one in our house. Though whenever we're at a friends' house that has cats, cats LOVE her. I think their inborn asshole radar is perfectly attuned to such situations. ;D
