okay um Chuck do you have any pets there at your home
yeah i do
and what kind do you have
i've got a male Siamese about a year old here i live alone in an apartment and uh
oh
uh-huh
except for the cat how about you
uh-huh well we have a cat um he's probably
oh a good two years old big old fat and sassy tabby
uh-huh
oh uh how's the disposition of your Siamese cat
well it's uh you know they're just uh aggressive by nature
uh-huh
and uh he's been neutered and declawed so and he's an indoor cat so uh
uh-huh
uh that kind of calms him down for the most part and uh
well yeah he's uh he has been really aggressive at especially towards my little girl for some reason he's uh
how about yours
huh
been so mean to her and
and and you say you had him how long
we've had him for about two years and and he was so mean to her
two years
um right after we first got him so we had him neutered and
and declawed and now he bites her he can't scratch her anymore he bites her
huh
does he bite her enough to draw blood
yeah yeah he has a couple of times so
uh-huh
but he's a very
possessive cat he he loves my son it's his cat and he's the only one that allows him to touch him or pet him or love him
yeah
and he's so funny he just follows my son around just like a dog
huh
he won't even let my son shower he meows and wants to get in the bathroom and while he showers it's so hilarious
yeah
so he's quite a animal
yeah boy i guess well as long as he doesn't get too aggressive i guess with the daughter he's all right you wouldn't want him to carry her off or something
yeah
yeah well we we did uh actually take him to the pound a couple of times you know because we just couldn't have him being so
uh-huh
sure
aggressive towards the girl but
uh he seems to have mellowed out a little bit and we do keep our daughter away from him so
yeah yeah
were it not for my son the cat would not be in this house
is that the only pet that you have
it is uh-huh we've we tried a dog um about four years ago and we ended up with a
oh Malamute and
some other kind of mix anyway it was it ended up being just a huge huge dog that ate us out of house and home so
we gave him up
and tried
well do you live you you in a house or a place where you uh
yes uh-huh we're in a house but we're in a subdivision where we really can't allow the dog we couldn't allow him to run free so he was just chained up all the time and it was it was unfortunate
yeah
i see
sure
so have you tried any other pets
no no i i live alone in an apartment and uh it's it's not that big that uh although i've heard rabbits are pretty good
oh
oh
you know i i saw something on CNN or on cable here uh
uh-huh
a while ago that showed some people that had rabbits in apartments
oh my word
and in houses and they apparently uh especially when they're young when they bring them in uh
oh my word
and do they they just paper train it or something
i guess i guess yeah and i would imagine that they don't have many more than one to start with either because uh
yeah well rabbits are darling that would be fun if you could get them trained otherwise they're pretty smelly um
yeah
yep that's right
did you see the the CNN the the dog show uh
huh-uh we don't have CNN we don't have cable
they
i see well they have uh
uh a Westminster they call it the Westminster Dog Show uh uh i think it's in New York City at the at the Gardens there once a year live
oh
and they had that on last week and that's really kind of something to watch uh it's on i think two or three nights for maybe an hour or two
oh
is that right oh
and uh some of the weirdest animals you ever wanna see on there some of them are really beautiful too yeah so
uh
uh-huh well that would be interesting to watch
yeah
