FabSwingers.com forum: Are we the only ones ...

Are we the only ones who find it cringe worthy when people use pets in written messages in the context that 'the ..... loves it ' or ' me and the ...... agree that this is the way ' .

It just seems that by continually speaking on behalf of an animal that can't speak in every instance is a bit weird .

Are people that do this a bit fragile ?

Or is it just us that find it odd ?

I'm not sure what you mean... my cat loves a brush and I can tell you that cause of her reaction as soon as she sees the brush but I couldn't really speak on her behalf cause she hasn't actually told me she loves a brush.

Depends on context I think. If it's talking about something pet related, it's fine, but talking about non-pet related matters (especially sex!) nope, not for me! Hints at beastiality, just no.

Depends what it is they are doing. If someone said me and the cat love making cup cakes,I'd be a bit worried about the person. Sharing a bag of cheese and onion walkers is something I often do with my dogs. Not sure I ever tell anyone though. Until now

Sorry if I'm missing something quite obvious here but I haven't a clue what you're talking about. Is this in fab conversations about general life stuff i.e. 'the dog loves it when I rub his belly'?

My pets speak to me. They don't use words but they communicate quite clearly regardless.

Granted we don't have deep philosophical debates but they are pedigree, bred for their temperament and looks, and don't have much beyond fluff between their ears.

My cat says your cat can borrow her brushes anytime! I just rang her to ask... she's having a manicure but will be available to chat later.

Maybe it's just the cat that disapproves though. The cat slave may agree, or have no particular opinion either way.

I often disagree with my cats.

One of them thinks the coffee table is a good place to be. I disagree and consider the coffee table out of bounds to her.

There are lots of similar examples.

My cats have their own purrsonalities and their own beliefs and ideas.

It doesn't bother me if that's how some people express themselves though. I celebrate that we are all different. It makes life more interesting.

I can understand that.

I'd suggest if you don't like Taff's posts, ignore them.

I can't always take my own advice though.

They like Felix Seaside Mix Goody Bag treats. I also have some Webbox cat yoghurt stuff that they like.

They also get Felix wet food from sachets every 2-3 days in addition to their usual dry diet.

And noisy face gets a little plaice when my parents are here on a Saturday for fish and chips.

They get treats quite sparingly though because they are prone to dodgy tummies. Upset tummies and long-haired cats are not a match made in heaven.

I Fk'n hate it with a vengence.

My daughter sends me pics of her cat and 'her cat' calls me Granny. Makes me puke.

'It's Granny on the phone JooJoo'

My friend ( otherwise fairly sane ) goes on about her cat and how she can read his every thought and what he likes ........ I don't answer cos really.... I think her cat is VILE.

anthropomorphism - sad

P.S. I owned dogs for years but I knew they were dogs.

does make it the obvious conclussion tho, tho admittedly not esentially the right 1, but as several others had reached the same conclussion, if it wasnt intended that way then it was certainly a random post(plenty of them!) and did look like it was aimed at Taff.

If I get my hands on your pussy it'll hurt.

In all seriousness... I'm trying to make light of it because I don't think it's big or clever to post thinly veiled or otherwise digs at people who are doing no harm on an open forum.

If you don't like the way someone posts then avoid their posts. My guess is that if this is aimed at one person then the only thing it's likely to do it hurt their feelings and there is absolutely no need to be so unkind.

's funny that we're both thinking the same thing.

Firmly believing this isn't about the only person who does this seems gullible to me. Gullible isn't a crime though.

In a galaxy far far away someone is reading this and saying to themselves...what the f#$k!!

However I do have two Burmese cats, known for their intelligence...one I've nicknamed skippy due to her habit of letting me know when there's a problem, but most of the time they can be found fast asleep

"It's not a dig at one forum poster at all - anyone doing it would irritate me

Only one person on here currently does it regularly. It is pretty transparent, sorry.

We all have things that irritate us though.

If one person does it it doesn't mean it's that one person that was under discussion.

I'm surprised that this came from the OP. They're usually more direct than this.

That's my only reason to doubt it was aimed at Taff.

Overall it seems pretty clear to quite a few of us.

Hello Chums

goodness me what a kerfuffle. Hope your all having a splendid afternoon , the sun is beaming down here. North Wales in the sunshine , heaven.

I can imagine there are some things that can really get ones goat about certain posts in the forums. Some people stick their heads like ostriches in the earth . Others go in like a heard of elephants. Other parrot the same old rhetoric . some just follow like sheep.

I asked the Pooch what he thought , he just looked up from his copy of Homers Iliad and shrugged. His thesis on it has to be in by Friday.

Guys its all fun and no I don't feel this thread was aimed at one forumite , I am sure know one in the forums would be so given to upset any one . It was a jolly valid question .

keep smiling , and thank you guys for all your lovely comments , it once again proves to me the forums are the best place to be with the jolliest people.

Taff.

ps pooch says hope you like all the animal references

PPS Granny Pooch is still waiting for that wander around loggerheads

Namaste XXXX

If there's an instance of an ever reoccurring irritation and one person who evokes it is gonna make you all think this a thinly veiled dig at this person alone then so be it .

But in reality working in retail it's an ever more irksome trait . Particularly middle aged women who insist on bringing their darling dogs into the shop and speaking for them in every sentence .

So that's the truth of it from my perspective

Who all agree that while taff's pooch is charming like all dogs , not a clue when it comes to high brow social media threads. Mind , peps did have her tounge up her bum when she was telling me this.............. Peps is one of the cats... Not the coffee girl

"Are we the only ones who find it cringe worthy when people use pets in written messages in the context that 'the ..... loves it ' or ' me and the ...... agree that this is the way ' .

It just seems that by continually speaking on behalf of an animal that can't speak in every instance is a bit weird .

Are people that do this a bit fragile ?

Or is it just us that find it odd ?

Can't say it bothers me. Why would you think it makes them seem fragile?

Ah yes, in real life it can be quite bizarre and sometimes annoying. I don't understand the phenomenon of handbag dogs.

From the OP it sounded as if you were talking about on here rather than including day-to-day life. The mention of it being in writing gave that impression (to me).

I can imagine that's quite irksome thing . Having to put up with that all day must be tedious.

I know your posting wasn't aimed at any one in particular and I also know how much you enjoy my postings and pictures too by all the lovely fabs , thank you so much its nice to feel such adoration .

I don't seek it though as I am content with who I am confident and secure in my and body , sensuality and looks

Glad that's all cleared up and it's agreed that this post wasn't a thinly veiled swipe at anyone . That's not my style and I'm a bit offended by the suggestion but hey ho .

As for the fragility i mentioned . I see it that by using an animal in the context of 'the cat and i agree' before expressing an opinion , it could be seen as the persons opinion individually needs to be backed up by the use of the cat too .i dont know if that maies sense or not .....

If it is to do with the actual pet the not strange, if it is giving an opinion on something, I.e. my and sue (my dog), loves that. Then slightly odd when it is nothibgvto do with the animal.
