But when I need you baby, baby, you're never there

I heard a commercial on the radio which proclaimed: "Your cat gives you endless loyalty every day!"

There's one scriptwriter who's never owned a cat.

My cat likes me more than she likes my boyfriend. Is that loyalty or playing favorites?

Playing favorites, absolutely. You're just SLIGHTLY less down on the chain of disapproval.

What about the cat at the Thai restaurant who always comes to my table because he knows I carry cat food in my purse?

You carry cat food in -- no, I'm not going to ask.

Our three cats each have favorites among the humans. I think it's the way they maintain their dominance: divide and conquer.

New project: get fellmama a pet of her own. Teach your own puppy or kitty to eat shoes!

I actually got the idea from someone else. My college senior class president was said to carry dog biscuits in her pocket in case she ran into a dog and that way she could make friends. It seemed like a good idea, so I have a ziploc baggie of cat food that I carry with me so I can make friends with kitty. It's worked great so far.

Most people think that it's weird, but my friend Yasemin's mother told me that the editor for Vogue magazine in Turkey does the same thing. So I'm not alone ;)

I think you've explained yourself: you carry cat food. You're an instrument of goodies.

I consider every time I give a kitty some nurmables, it is an offering to the great cat deity.
