Me...the cat whisperer, gets rejected by kitty. [View all]

I've always had a way with cats. They generally love the shit out of me. Give me a couple a days and a feral cat will be eating out of my hand and letting me pet it.

Today, at PetSmart, I saw this HUGE (not fat, just large), kitty with a flat face, Siamese blue eyes, and a sort of light tabby pattern. This cat was fucking awesome looking.

I reached out to pet him and he hissed at me and batted my hand away.

I guess I wasn't up to his standard. Unfortunately, I already have 5 cats or we'd have had to negotiate a treaty so I could live in the same house with his magnificence.
