Okay, there is a Baskin Robins commercial that starts with a child saying, "Don't be so vanilla!" So. Wrong.
These are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Glad it wasn't worse, Glam. Those meetings are rough even when they are relatively benign.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
whee, relief , GC. I remember the story about your MIL's cat. But didn't she get that cat without meeting it? Not a good way. Plus -- it seems they need attention and people around

She did get the cat without meeting it. She is home with the cat most days, all day. That animal just has a screw loose. I like my mutt cats - they never attack me.

Most of the ones on the rescue site are mutts. They are just guessing by characteristics. But your MIL's experience and a few others -- means I want to spend a littl e time with a cat before adopting. I don't need any heartbreak

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I know nothing about cats.
I've got an appointment with my rheumatologist next week. I really need to convince her that I need better pain management -- what I'm doing now is not enough.

Amon has been a joy. I've had him about a year, and he's a snuggle puss. He almost always sleeps between Hubby and me, and he'll come up and tap me firmly on the arm when I'm on the computer and he wants attention. The mornings are amusing, because I'll roll out of bed and head to the bathroom, and he'll stumble along with me and sit there yawning as I do various human stuff. I'm very glad I went with the cat who patted my hand as I was perusing the cats at the shelter.

Sounds like the best indicator of a match
Good luck, Hil. Obviously, your drugs aren't doing enough , but have you had any negative reactions to drugs. If not , you might be able t use that as part of your arsenal.

I like Amarna because she's definitely a people cat (likes most everyone who's come through my place), but I am Her Human. She'll let others pet her, but I'm the only one she'll sit on.
When I'm on the computer and she wants some attention, she'll either walk right between me and the laptop and put her paw on my stomach in preparation for walking onto my chest, or she'll just sit on the end table to my right and headbutt my upper arm, trying to nudge under it to get my right hand off the mouse and onto her head.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Perkins the cat is part Maine Coon, maybe. He's dumb as a post, but very sweet.
