Problem Cats

There has been a lot of talk around here about problems. She has some very definite opinions about problems, and I can see some of Her points. For Kasey and me, our biggest problem has been Kate, who didn't make friends with us, and kind of kept us prisoners in the bedroom while she ran all over the house. That problem was solved when Kate got tired of living inside all the time and ran away. So one way to solve a problem is for it to go away. Every person and cat seems to have some kind of problem, and sometimes you need some money or the vet or a red pill. But sometimes you need to work a little harder to get a problem to go away. This is what She thinks - There are three main attitudes toward problems. For example, He want to solve the problem just like that. He is a solver. That's why all his ideas and projects are about solving a problem lickety split. On the other hand, She is an analyzer. She thinks about the best way to solve a problem with the least damage. She likes win-win problem solutions. She thinks about how important is the problem, whether it can actually BE solved, and what are the best steps to take. A lot of times with Her, the cost is involved. Not so much with Him. But the thing that makes Her sad is that some people don't want their problems solved. I agree with Her. Some people like to have their problems, for some reason. No matter what you come up with to solve it, they tell you why it won't work. If you give them fifty ways to solve them, their problems never change. Even if you tell them one easy way, they have a reason not to solve the problem. Then She has a problem with the problem. Her way of solving that one is to back away and just smile and nod and say umhmmm. I like the ways that They solve problems so that Kasey and I don't have them.
No problem about dinner tonight. She is going to bake some chicken. She told me. AAh-dyoo, amis.
