The Fat Ask and the Big Ask

[maryrw]

I've been playing with Twitter in the last couple of days (fun!), and a couple of friends have pointed me (more than once, I think) toward Havi Brooks (and her most excellent and highly esteemed duck, Selma) at the Fluent Self. She has one post in particular, Learning the Art of the Ask, that I've been chewing on all day.

I love this idea, the art

Oh honey - I can't believe someone wrote a whole book based on cat thinking - It doesn't hurt to ask.

Living with cats all our lives we learned this quite awhile ago, and any cat will tell you (or show you) that it doesn't hurt to ask.

Only one whole book based on cat thinking? Could there not be volumes? One of which is certainly "Everything I Needed to Know I Learned from My Cat."

I have to amend this though. True, it doesn't hurt to ask. But it does hurt to whine. No whining. Ever. Especially not cat whining. Ewwww.

so awesome.

Very well said. Asking and being told no is always better than never asking.
