Hi everyone. It’s Gypsy Katt. You may recall that Cheeseland is now living in a Tabocracy. Thomas Tabby has started his job as a liaison to the humans. One of his promises was that he was going to try to promote inter-species activities. I’m going to tell you about my experience with inter-species speed dating. I tried it out so I could report on it. (Just for the record, I am a very happy single lady cat.) Sgt Stripes tagged along to watch. He sat at the bar with a cup of catnip tea.
I didn’t really know what speed dating was.The event was sponsored by the Kit Kat Club. It’s a rather elegant place that’s a popular spot for weddings and other receptions. The way that it worked was that we were given a card with the names of the animals we would be “dating”. Each “date” lasted for 5 minutes before we changed partners. At the end, we would decide which of the partners we would like to interested in meeting again. If there were any matches, we would get their contact information.
I ended up with two cats, a guinea pig, a couple of rabbits, three dogs, a mouse, and a capybara. The capybara was up first. He was very nice. However, he was a vegetarian who spends a lot of time in the water. I don’t think we had much in common. Not only that, he was huge. I decided to pass on him.
Next, I was paired with a Siamese. He was extremely attractive, but seemed to be very conceited about it. I don’t know if he was nervous or what, but he talked nonstop for the entire 5 minutes. I don’t think he even asked my name. He was looking for a life partner to start a family. That is not me.
The guinea pig was pretty cute, but had extremely long hair. It was hard to see his eyes. He is new to the area and is mainly looking for friends. I thought there were better places to do that, but he was very charming. Another vegetarian. I wasn’t sure about dating someone who looks so much like prey.
Speaking of prey, the mouse seemed terrified. I’m not sure why he thought that going to a dating event sponsored by a club for cats was a good idea. I tried talking to him, but all he could do was squeak. I’m pretty sure he thought I was going to eat him.
The two rabbits disappeared before I had a chance to talk to them. That left a cat and three dogs.
This cat was an elegant tuxedo cat. He was well-spoken and polite. I was starting to think that I might want to know more about him when he started talking about his kittens. I asked where their mother was. He said that she was still with the kittens and wouldn’t mind him seeing someone else. Another pass.
Then things got a little strange.One of the other ladies was a cute labradoodle. She had been talking with one of the dogs (who was supposed to be seeing me next.) They seemed to really be getting along well. When the buzzer went off, they were still talking. The next dog in line walked over,
The first dog didn’t move, so the second dog, a large German Shepherd, growled at him. The first dog, a border collie, didn’t move. The German Shepherd lunged at the border collie, and they started to fight. Several other animals joined the fight.
Sgt Stripes jumped down from the bar and helped me get out of the building. I do not recommend inter-species speed dating.

A conceited Siamese! Imagine that!
They never seem to stop talking.
Made me smile… I know what you mean. They are all so beautiful, Blessing and Happiness to you ALL, I love your writing and Cats, Thank you, love, nia
Thank you! You are so sweet
My childhood cat, Misha, had a Siamese nemesis called, erm, Prince Chulalongkorn. Their stand-offs were hilarious because each one had a voice that totally belied his appearance: Misha, built like a tank, had a dainty, fairylike meow, whereas sleek, elegant Chula had a gravelly scowl like a demon.
oh, gypsy, we r sorry yoo did not find your purrfect mate
Thank you. I think I’ll stick to being happily single for now.

OMC that speeddating was hilarious😹😹 We believe that you find the purrfect match when you don’t expect it😸Double Pawkisses for a Happy Weekend to all of you🐾😽💞
Thank you! We think that we’re fine just the way we are. 🙂
Cats are superior and should never lower themselves to dating other species. 🙂 XO
We agree! 🙂
My Siamese, Monkey, doesn’t talk at all. Sometimes, I think she’s broken. But, the Calico talks enough for everyone.
Yeah, I don’t think interspecies dating will catch on.
We had a part-Siamese. She was the first cat I had who really “talked”. Now I generally only hear from the cats when they want something. 🙂
How is a respectable cat supposed to date these days?
It’s a problem. There’s a reason we’re all single. 🙂
Wow, that did sound exciting though. Sorry you didn’t make any real connections. I would try something that matches you better without someone you have things in common with. Hmm, maybe ask around through friends to fix you up. Though a blind date might not end well either! It’s a jungle out there in the dating world, isn’t it?
It really is! I think I’ll stay single for the time being.
Dating someone you want to eat is probably not a good idea unless you bring along some ketchup.
Hmm. You probably have a point.
Oh wow🙀 definitely not the place to be glad you both got out safely x😽🐈⬛🐈🐾💖
Yes. It was a lot more “excitement” than we were looking for.
