Dennis Ponders

Dennis had his heart broken so he's thinking... maybe he needs to be single for awhile before rushing into a new relationship. How long is a cat-month?

The Vet says a cat year is 5 human years. Dennis doesn't do math.

Poor Dennis to be lovelorn is very hard but other cat mothers also have pretty cat girls !
My vet pretends 7 years for 1 cat year !

bitchlet said...

A cat month is just SIX human days but Dennis need not rush into a relationship if he's not ready.

Hi Dennis - maybe you would like an older woman - someone with experience and not likely to run off(run anyway actually!!!) with another. Shieko turns 20 today - I guess that is 100 - she is deaf (which could be an advantage) and on kidney and blood pressure pills, but still has a twinkle in her eye and a flick in her tail!!!!!

Give it to next Christmas. I don't know how to use a calculator.

The vet is only human, buddy. He would have to translate everything into mantalk. Us cats don't do linear time and you know it. So stay single for awhile, what's the rush? How long is awhile? It's a...it's while you're feeling you should stay single for awhile.

Let me know when you want me to start lining up the chorus line - there's some cute girlcats up here.

(what you're lying on looks like one cool surface for scratching up threads, huh. Missing something though - a bit of herring maybe, right next to your paw.)

Who could break that handsome boy's heart?

That sounds about right, your vet's guess about cat years.

LKD said...

One hundred and fifty two days?

I suck at math so that's probably the wrong answer.

I figure there are 365 days in one human year which means there are 1,825 days in one cat year (365 x 5 = 1,825). Divide that number by 12 and the sum is 152.

Which is a pretty damned long month, methinks. Certainly long enough for Dennis to lick his Daisy wounds and heal them before venturing forth into the arena of catlove again.

Courage, Dennis. Courage.

Daisy said...

Hey Dennis! I just came back from the vet's office. She said I was a good weight, and not to worry about the "fat pad" on my tummy. But then she poked me with a needle. Then she stoled some of my bloods. Then she installed a microchip in my back. So, maybe you should not always trust a Vet.

I am sad that you have a broken heart. This makes my heart feel hurty. Maybe you can try learning a trick! And the good thing about learning tricks is you get lots of treats for it!

You jus haf to wait till yor hart mends, meanwhile, I send you purrs and headbutts.

dennis said...

Aoise, I could love you, but you look so much like Chedwick, so that would be too weird... don't you think?

Steve Reed said...

Don't think about it, Dennis -- that's what INSTINCT is for!

Just Sharlene and the Spice Cats said...

Dennis, you are such a handsome kitty and you wont have any problems getting girls!

Anonymous said...

ohhh what was the reason for the break up?

hpy said...

A cat year is sometimes longer, sometimes shorter. Maybe cat months are different too. I think Dennis shouldn't bother about a love affair right now. It will come as a surprise later on.

The Crew said...

Hmmm, what is this about you attracting tuxie girls? First Shade and now Aoise? Maybe they see themselves in you. Dennis, we didn't know you were so deep.

meemsnyc said...

Oh no Dennis, don't be sad or heart broken!!

too much pondering can make one ponderous

Cat Street Boyz said...

Miaou, Dennis,

How your hair is shining today !
How did you do that ? Usually it is beautiful, not soooo beautiful, though. Are you unhappy because Chedwick pushed you in the bath ?
I’m sure you smell very good. Maybe vanilla !

I don't do math too.
(Un matou is a little name for a cat. Un minet is a nickname for an elegant guy.)

You are un minet, Dennis, a melancholy minet.

(Please, say thank you to Ched for me...)

dennis needs a vacation, too much pondering and not enough movement can lead to melancholy.

mouse worries about dennis. mouse loves dennis!

Dennis needs not worry. He's such a handsome boy with his shiny fur that matches the satin he sits on. He will soon find an new soulmate.

Mortina said...

Dear Dennis,
We love your blog at our house,and are all big DENNIS fans. Take your time finding the right very lucky lady kitty.

Mr. Hendrix said...

i'm very sorry your heart is broken. i think if Daisy met you before Skeezix it would have turned out different.

there are many lovely lady cats on the blogosphere when you're ready. some have cute outfits too!

Oh, dear; perhaps Bear would like a Match.com relationship. She's very petite, loves to bat at moths, and can quickly run up and down trees. She has only a whisper of white on her chest . . . let her know.
