[speaker001:] okay um Chuck do you have any pets there at your home
[speaker002:] yeah I do
[speaker001:] and what kind do you have
[speaker002:] I've got a male Siamese about a year old here I live alone in an apartment and uh
[speaker001:] oh uh-huh
[speaker002:] except for the cat how about you
[speaker001:] uh-huh well we have a cat um he's probably oh a good two years old big old fat and sassy tabby
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] oh uh how's the disposition of your Siamese cat
[speaker002:] well it's uh you know they're just uh aggressive by nature
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] and uh he's been neutered and declawed so and he's an indoor cat so uh
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] uh that kind of calms him down for the most part and uh
[speaker001:] well yeah he's uh he has been really aggressive at especially towards my little girl for some reason he's uh
[speaker002:] how about yours huh
[speaker001:] been so mean to her and
[speaker002:] and and you say you had him how long
[speaker001:] we've had him for about two years and and he was so mean to her
[speaker002:] two years
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] huh does he bite her enough to draw blood
[speaker001:] yeah yeah he has a couple of times so
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] and he's so funny he just follows my son around just like a dog
[speaker002:] huh
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] so he's quite a animal
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] uh-huh sure
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] yeah yeah
[speaker001:] were it not for my son the cat would not be in this house
[speaker002:] is that the only pet that you have
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] well do you live you you in a house or a place where you uh
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] yeah I see sure
[speaker001:] so have you tried any other pets
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] oh oh
[speaker002:] you know I I saw something on CNN or on cable here uh
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] a while ago that showed some people that had rabbits in apartments
[speaker001:] oh my word
[speaker002:] and in houses and they apparently uh especially when they're young when they bring them in uh
[speaker001:] oh my word and do they they just paper train it or something
[speaker002:] I guess I guess yeah and I would imagine that they don't have many more than one to start with either because uh
[speaker001:] yeah well rabbits are darling that would be fun if you could get them trained otherwise they're pretty smelly um
[speaker002:] yeah yep that's right did you see the the CNN the the dog show uh
[speaker001:] huh-uh we don't have CNN we don't have cable
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] oh is that right oh
[speaker002:] and uh some of the weirdest animals you ever wanna see on there some of them are really beautiful too yeah so
