Objects of Affection & Animal Magnetism

Objects of affection are sometimes difficult to fathom. They can be anything anything at all. People are devoted to their animals, to books, pictures, pillows, clothes, jewelry, knick-knacks and even other people. It is interesting to see what folks focus their affections upon. At times its pretty darn amusing.

Tonight I became an object of affection. To be more precise, my foot did. Wow! you say. Does SW have especially nice feet? Are they sexy with red painted nails? Oh yes, says I. Of course, when I say that I am lying with every move of my lips. My feet are rather too large, have callouses, a crooked toe or two, and the nails are totally devoid of decoration. As a matter of fact, the nails could use clipping. They are getting distinctly claw-like.

So, did a podiatrist find the foot of his dreams or was it a deranged person with a foot fetish? Neither. Tonight, Fubu the kitty fell in love with my foot. I confess, I was (and am) perplexed by this ardor. Though my feet are not especially attractive, they are also not furry or feline in appearance. They may smell sometimes, but they dont purr or meow. Theyre just plain old feet!

I sat down on the bed tonight to do some reading and relaxing. Fubu the kitty hopped up and began her ploys for attention. She lay on my book, stuck her nose in my face, nuzzled and licked me. Finally I succumbed to her dubious charms and paid some attention to her. I scratched her and she purred and snuggled with a very content look on her small pointy furry face. After I gave her a dose of kitty lovin, I put her down on the floor and went back to my book. She tried again repeatedly, but I doggedly ignored her. Finally she gave up or so I thought.

The next thing I knew, Fubu the kitty was wooing my foot. She nuzzled it and licked it. She rubbed her head up and down it. She writhed along the entire length of my foot in paroxysms of lust. She delicately licked my toes, then nuzzled and writhed some more. She wrapped her paws gently and lovingly around my foot in a courtly kitty caress. This went on for 10 minutes while I sat there watching; at first too stunned to move and later too amused. What had my foot done to merit such devotion?

My amusement came to an abrupt end when Fubu the kitty, apparently disheartened and disappointed by the lack of positive response, spitefully bit my toes and dug her claws into my foot. Fubu the kitty then learned what it was like to fly. Poor thing. She had not only been rejected and spurned by the object of her affection, but when she struck out at it in disappointment and frustration it struck back!

So here I sit pondering life in general and the mysteries of love in particular. I guess I just have a certain. animal magnetism.

LOL!That is too funny!! You have such a cute kitten…= ) The closest mine ever came to that was to attack my feet when they’re under my bed covers…hehe.

Ha ha…your cat has got to related to one of the ones that let me live with them! (thank you, Sunshine Wolf, for your notes of support…very much appreciated.)

Aw,poor Fubu! The cat was giving you the lovingest cat love of all–biting. My wife used to do that, saying: “Don’t you know that love hurts?”

I seem to have that same effect on Vincent. Or is it my pink slipper? In any case… I let him have his way with me/it while I’m typing away. What’s the harm?

BBe

Neither one of us is getting any otherwise. *LOL*

What a great entry, Sunshine! If that were my kitty and my foot, I think I’d let her have her way with me! Beats any other offers I’ve had lately! LOL

Fubu?

Pets are the best. They don’t care if you let one or haven’t shaved your legs..;)

This is thoroughly charming and amusing! Thanks for sharing. And thank God for all the Open Diarists who believe in practicing, not preaching, the Ten Commandments.

Since I don’t have any kittens (all I have is an imaginary dachshund!) , I talk to my computer, which almost seems as pleasing and annoying as a human being.

Makes me almost want to get my own purr-machine.

*giggles*..what a great line..;))..animals are too goofy and too sweet, aren’t they?

Fubu would say it was a love bite 🙂 Wow! I’ve missed reading your entries! You write with such an entertaining wit. If you were to publish a book, I’m certain, whatever the content, it would be a hit!

LOL. Too funny and too much imagery re the descripton of the foot, thank you, lol.

okay, that one got me! Reminds me of mine. BTW I am also a fan of Mr. Silverstien (Quote in index) -Azriel (NSI)

WELL, IF YOU GOT THAT ANIMAL MAGNETISIMEE, YOU OUGHT TO FIT IN REAL GOOD IN THE COOP WITH ALL THEM OTHER JAIL BIRDS!!!! HAHAHAHAHHA!!!

But we already knew that about you, Sunshine Wolf. With a wink and a smile…

I got to be honest. I could not have taken the toe licking. My feet are just too ticklish! Sounds like your kitty loves you though! {{{{{HUG}}}}}

Happy New Year my friend! You never bite the foot that feeds you.

sophist

thank gawd it was only your foot 😉

Thanks for your comment.

I know how the kitty feels, my first wife was much the same as your foot…

Hi Sunshine Wolf – You know me by another name…time to put the other one to rest and start fresh (without the peeking family eyes)

LOL This made my morning! Your description was great, I can see the poor lil kitty fly!

Thanks for dropping by, if you want a lot easier to understand and less fragmented version of the kabbalah, a good source is “The Mystical Qabalah” by Dion Fortune. It was my first book in it. Say hi to kitty for me

So now you have to add tooth marks and claw marks to your foot description. You are a hoot! 🙂

I wondered if Fubu was short for football… You have quite a sense of humor. LOL!

LOL! I had a beautiful male Keeshond dog who had this affection for my leg! I kid you not! After the first time of pee drippin down my leg, I always had to be careful and watch when he was about to do it again.

is this the kitty you are sending with me? 🙂 Send it off to a pet magazine, see if they pay your for it, only take the flying kitty part out. 🙂
