Today I was caught in my secret shame...I call into a radio show. I started listening to a morning DJ last year because the music on the station was upbeat and got me moving in my sluggish mornings. This DJ always has relevant and interesting things to discuss. Occasionally completely off the wall, but it is typically something you have experienced. In the last year I have probably called in about ten times to offer up my opinion on some non-issue we all face.
This morning was one of those days. A woman was trying to win back her ex-boyfriend by not calling him. She had heard somewhere that this works for men, that if you ignore them they eventually come crawling back. She was struggling to keep from contacting him and the DJ thought it was crazy that woman even thought this or attempted it and asked for his listeners opinions.
Of course I have one. As an overall animal lover and especially a cat lover, I have come to realize that unlike the metaphor that men are dogs, men are in fact cats. Women are more like dogs, loyal, affectionate, always waiting with a smile if you treat us well. Men are like cats and if you ever had a cat you will see the shocking similarities.
1. Cats ignore you until you are in the middle of something and then they are laying on the book you are reading, sitting on your laptop, running around your feet or clawing at the sheets while you try and make your bed. Men are the same way, they want nothing to do with you until you are in the middle of something else and then they must have your full attention. This can also be applied to relationships.
2. Cats run away from you when you chase them, you have to wait for them to come to you. Same as men! If you chase after them the more they run.
So how was I caught giving this solicited advice? When I got to work this morning, one of my male co-workers says to me, "Why did you call me a cat?" Can you say, Busted! I was embarrassed and shocked, but he said he recognized my voice. Oh well!
