| Yesterday, I had a bit of a predicament. My cat, scoundrel that he is, ate one of my wife’s hair bands. Not a good thing. Hair bands can get caught in a cat’s intestines. If they get bunched up enough, they can cause tears and even require surgery to remove. An awful prospect. We would have stopped him, of course. Only problem is… we didn’t see him do it. All we saw was the end of the severed band, sticking out like an extra tail out of his butthole. Hanging about two inches out, like a crusty little twig. It was a bit of a dilemma.Clearly, this string was bothering him a little. And, it was certainly bothering us to look at. But, pulling the string would be risky, for reasons mentioned above. I decided the best course of action would to wait. Let the little sucker poop the thing out, no human assistance required. If he struggled, we’d take him to the vet ASAP. But hopefully it would “pass” without event. So we waited. And waited. And waited. One whole day passed by, yet no poop. We were beginning to get worried. Was it stuck? He had even been given an extra can of food, so there was *a lot* in there that should have been pushing it out. But nothing. 36 hours into 4 meals and no poop. It was tempting to rush him to the vet. But we agreed to wait until the morning. Fortunately, turn out we didn’t have to. When we got back from dinner our little cat’s extra “tail” was sitting right there (with a whole lot of other mess). Point being? Sometimes in life you’ve just got to hold the line. Whether it’s a cat’s bowel movements or texting women. Maybe she’s seen your text. Maybe she hasn’t. But just wait, dude. Don’t obsess. Go about your life. Resist the impulse to send her a message. It won’t do any good and will only show your desperation. After all, if you’re sending her the right stuff, SHE will get back to you, even if she takes her sweet little time. And if she doesn’t? You’ll be prepared how to re-engage. Assuming, of course, you bought my Tackling Texting book which tells you all of this. Otherwise, who knows. You might be sitting there forever, waiting for that text, like a cat with an few inches of string out his butt. Twitching in frustration. Your choice. But it’s only $4.99 to change your situation.
