Remind me, please, someone, to avoid watching "Emergency Vets" (Animal Planet) anymore. It's just too traumatic. I won't go into any details here, because I know it would upset my "DOG" (if not the lower-case variety that shares this apartment with us). All I'll say is that midway through the show this afternoon, I was left a sobbing mess. And when I reached over to pet my snoozing cat, she promptly woke up, took one disdainful look at my ridiculous teary face, and muttered something indecipherable.

I think she called me a "pussy".

Considering the source, is that an insult?
