Cat questions canine comparisons
DEAR TABBY: What does it indicate when someone says, “He’s so dog-like”?
Yeah! I hear it all the time, as well as they typically say it like it’s a compliment, like, “Oh, that’s so cute! He’s just like a dog…” as well as I’ll be, like, walking around the neighborhood on my leash when some random stranger will say it.

I mean, nothing against dogs… You know, whatever. some of my coworkers are dogs, as well as we work together… It’s fine. I have no problem with dogs. They do their thing, you know, with the slobbering as well as the sniffing. Whatever. I just don’t see the resemblance at all.
Seriously, Tabby, ought to I be offended, or am I missing something here?
Thank you,
Fiddles

Just since I like my leash doesn’t make me a cocker spaniel
DEAR FIDDLES: The same thing happens to me all the time! Yeah, I don’t get it either, however I don’t think it’s anything to worry about. I think it really may be somehow related to the leash, since that seems to be when it happens, when I’m wearing my leash, however I don’t understand if it’s a style thing, like if some canine star is rocking my same leash, or something else.
But it does seem to occur a great deal when I’m either walking with my assistant on my leash, or waiting at the front door with my leash to go outside.
I assumption just try not to take it personally, if you can.

There is such a thing as too much sharing. You’re a pro, Tabby, however some of these young kittens just don’t get it. They don’t understand.

It might be five years from now in a task interview, as well as they’ll discover that picture of you drinking those catnip shots. Selfies are the downfall of society!
My nieces as well as nephews are regularly posting things like that on the Facebooks. exactly how can I get them to stop?

Assistant needs nutrition recommendations for finicky feline
DEAR TABBY: I work for — exactly how do I put this? — a very demanding employer. You understand that woman from The Devil wears Prada? Well, my employer Armani is just like that, however a thousand times worse.
Last week her personal physician/nutritionist placed her on a restricted diet plan that I’m expected to implement, as well as I’ve been trying, however nothing seems to make Armani happy. As her assistant/personal chef, the nutrition plan is my responsibility, however I’m floundering. I spend hours preparing her specialized meals, however then when I set them in front of her, she sniffs, rolls her eyes as well as walks away. One time she even swatted at the bowl.
Tabby, you’re a well-known feline foodie with a sophisticated palette. Do you have any type of preferred healthy recipes that Armani may like?
Sincerely,
Agnes
Gravy makes whatever better
DEAR AGNES: I’m very happy you asked, since yes, I do. In fact, my digital team as well as I just unveiled a brand new way of life site called onmeowtime.com, which is like Goop for cats, only way cooler. It has exercise plans, yoga videos as well as an substantial taste-tested recipe index. I’m sure you’ll discover something that Armani as well as her physician will like.
First-time assistant questions quitting
DEAR TABBY: My parents are always on my case. They keep saying that I need to grow up, so I went out as well as got a job, however it’s not working out the way I hoped. It’s just that the feline I work for is so demanding, as well as I thought this was going to be a part-time gig so I’d still have time for cheerleading as well as band, however now I’m working all the time. Some days even six hours! I hate it.
My manager likewise makes me do dumb things, too, like clean her litter box as well as style her fur. I thought we were just gonna hang out as well as view TV.
I really want to quit, Tabby, however then I’m terrified that everybody will say, “I told you so.” What ought to I do?
Best,
Kristy
I expect a great deal from my employees

As tempting as it may be to quit now, I strongly suggest that you hang in there longer. woman Gaga didn’t discover exactly how to play piano in a day. many jobs do get better, as well as there’s always a transition time when you as well as your employer are getting to understand each other as well as your work styles.
Pet assisting can be a rich as well as gratifying career, however you do have to be prepared to do the work as well as discover the ropes. I hope you hang in there.
Much love as well as success, always,
Tabs
