I am sure Rufus is adorable. But not nearly as cute as my cats Jules and Vincent.

He just peed. And, it dribbled a bit. Ha, I tried to tell the woman that he had a water dish in his carrier, but she wasn't having it. She actually wasn't as pissed off as I'd imagine some people would be if a cat peed on them. And, Dana, Rufus is a very good looking cat (I bet every demented cat-owner says that). You just can't tell that from his paw and his urine; that's all. Well, he didn’t try to pee on someone. He just peed. And, it dribbled a bit.

I once saw this chick on the train with a box filled with 6 or 7 tiny little newborn kittens. They just barely had their eyes open, flailing about in this little box. And it totally turned a train full of hardened commuters into Jell-O. Everyone was cooing, smiling and laughing and watching them--it was insanely adorable. Maybe you just need to face the fact that Rufus isn't as cute as you think he is. Hehehe...just kidding. But the peeing thing...SO not cute.

I think a lot of it has to do with attitude. You've got to ride the train with an air of confidence; like you don't give a shit what anyone thinks (except for cops, of course, those MF'ers will kill your ass) and just carry your pu$$y with pride. ;) I’ve never had a problem taking my cat on the train.

But, yeah, I definitely have panic attacks at the very thought of having to travel with my cat on the subway. I hate when I'm harassed on the train.

I've had the same situation with my cat, only I take him in my Car. DC Metro here is pretty-anti pets. Thats weird too I thought you could take dogs and cats onto the NYC Subway? I've seen dogs and people with their carriers before! wow thats hilarious. I’ve had the same situation with my cat, only I take him in my Car. DC Metro here is pretty-anti pets.
