Love lessons from the cat

Just realized that when my cat is happily purring and kneading something soft on the bed and I pat my lap to get him to come over, that's no different (and no less of an annoyance) than when I'm having an awesome time catching up with the girls and a random guy interrupts our conversation and expects us to be interested in him. Or like when I'm having a blast traveling and going to concerts and interacting with lots of hot poly lovers and someone comes along with a ball and chain wanting me to be all excited about our future 2.5 kids and white picket fence.
