My name is Cat and I am one sexy, stylin’ lady who just so happens to be a phone sex operator, or as I like to say, conversation specialist. LOL! Now don’t go dissing me until you hear my story, because it’s a good one. I have been an operator for years, and feel it’s my job to make my clients comfortable when talking to me about their fetishes; and trust me, they can get weird. Most clients have your typical fascination with role-play and bondage, but some are really out there. Regardless of the scenario I have to maintain my professionalism. Don’t worry, I won’t get into all the nitty gritty, but I gotta do my job to make ends meet.
Especially after my sister Landa, the ho, disappears and dumps her four multicolored kids on me, indefinitely. Ronny is the oldest and he is afraid of his own shadow half the time. Michelle, or as I like to call her, Miss Thang, is a sassy, chubby, pre-teen who is always in the pantry. Zoe, falls somewhere in between and half the time you wouldn’t know she was there. Then there is the baby, Jesse, who is sort of caramel colored. He is a cutie pie but he has a dairy problem and it is rank. I didn’t sign up for this, but I admit the kids are growing on me.
In the meantime, I admit, I get lonely without a man. One of my clients, Dale, has been with me for four years. He is your basic nerdy type who has probably never been laid, but there is something about him I like. Most of the time we just talk during our conversations, but he is ready to meet in person and take things to the next level. I am confident in who I am, given my larger than average size, but I am still not sure I am up for a face-to-face with Dale. Then there is Ed, now he is HOT. Alright so he is married and has kids, big whoop, he stirs something in me and we have crossed the line from associates to lovers.
Suddenly I have gone from being a lonely operator to a woman with two men knocking at my door, literally.
My
name is Cat. No, it isn’t short for Catherine or Catrina. It’s
just plain old Cat, as in meow. Don’t ask me what my mother was
thinking when she named me. Apparently during her labor she lost her
mind. What I can tell you is that I took some serious hazing for my
name growing up; you can only imagine the pussy references I endured.
Good Lord. The other thing I will share is that I am a natural red
head. Not that bright Ronald McDonald fresh-from-the-box shade of
red, but a nice deep red bordering on auburn. Also, my hair is nice
and thick, just like the rest of me. I am a plus size, juicy, stylin’
woman with a deep, sexy voice and get this folks; I get paid to have
phone sex with your man. You heard me right, but in case it went in
one ear and out the other the first time, I will repeat it. I am a
phone sex operator, or as I like to think, a conversation specialist.
Men, and occasionally women, from all over the world pay the big
bucks to listen to me purr and moan. It’s a tough life, but
somebody’s got to do it. I’m not being coy when I say that. Well,
maybe I am a teeny bit.
I
refer to the individuals who pay to listen to my sexy voice as my
‘clients’, although sometimes I think of them as my secret
lovers. To call them my clients sounds more sophisticated and reminds
me that what we have is a business relationship. It’s a given that
the majority of my clients have crazy sexual fetishes, however, with
me they have the opportunity to live out their fantasies in a
judgment-free zone. I ain’t gonna lie, it can get weird, I mean you
can only imagine my clientele, right? I roll with it though, and
think of it like being an actress. I got a role to play and hell, I
don’t actually meet the men in real life. Don’t get me wrong, we
have a personal relationship. We get to know each other as we chat,
but we do it all on the phone or online. The World Wide Web has
changed my life. It has allowed me to create a business plan that I
can execute right from the comfort of my kitchen. This byatch right
here is on fire, so look out.
Let
me explain the details of my job. I have a website called “Listen
to the Kitty Purr”. I am an excellent graphic designer and I am all
over social media. I have a Facebook page, Twitter account,
Instagram, and even an old MySpace account that I keep active. I am
up to fourteen thousand likes on my website for crying out loud.
You’d be surprised how many followers I have on my blog and how
many questions I get from other women who want to go into business
for themselves and make money doing what I do. I have an image of a
kitten on my home page, but when you scroll over her with your
cursor, my image shows up in its place. I don’t show too much, just
my cleavage and the tattoo of a red rose on my right shoulder. I
leave the rest up to the client’s imagination, I am not a
prostitute for Christ sakes. And for crying out loud I am NOT a
lesbian. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that.) But geeze
Louise, let it go already.
I
have paid advertisements in all the usual places. My phone number and
website information can be found on porn site ads as well as the back
of magazines. I pay hefty advertising fees for these, but it’s
always worth it. So is having a land line so I don’t drop calls or
get interrupted.
On
my website I have an outline explaining how my program works. If a
person reads, and then agrees to both my terms and prices, they can
contact me. I work by appointment only and get paid up front (I
learned that the hard way), and find PayPal is the best and easiest
service out there. My clients range from the anxious nerdy types to
the overachievers. I have had government officials, schoolteachers,
counselors, firemen, and even stay-at-home moms contact me.
Once
I have been contacted, I do a quick background check on my client.
Safety first. If they don’t have any arrests, I get started. You
are probably wondering what sets me apart from other phone sex
operators. In other words, why would your average Joe call me and
bother with terms, when he can pick up the phone and dial Dolly from
Lusty Lines without any bologna? The bottom line is that what I offer
is more than just a one time rodeo. I am always available to my
caller, so as we get to know one another, over time, our
conversations become even more satisfactory.
Most
of my competitors work for companies that employ dozens of people who
answer phones and entertain their clients. If a client has a really
good time with a particular operator and wants to get them again for
a future call, chances are slim to none. Operators with made up names
like Candy and Mindy are incentivized with bonuses to engage up to
twenty clients per hour. I know, it’s crazy, right? I guess they
work under the premise that the caller is already worked up and
rarin’ to go when they phone in; so the average call is only three
to six minutes long. I, however, stretch out my calls and enthrall
the client to ensure he calls back, and he always does. I charge
twenty dollars for the first two minutes and two dollars a minute
after that. If I do things right, I can earn up to seventy-six
dollars per half hour. That’s on the high end, but still it’s not
too shabby especially when you compare it to the minimum wage my
competitors are collecting.
I
don’t negotiate my price. I do, however, negotiate what topics we
can discuss and what type of play is allowed. I have to be very firm
about this at the beginning of our call so that future calls go well.
I am a businesswoman first and foremost. The raunchier and more
outlandish the client’s tastes, the higher the rate. For instance,
if a client is into listening to me tinkle, then I maintain my sense
of humor and professional status while I engage their fantasy and
charge them double. If I can’t laugh at this then I am in the wrong
business. I draw the line at bestiality, satanism, or anything
involving kids or incest. I am not into that stuff and don’t want
to pretend to be. Most clients have the basic foot fetish, bondage
fetish, or shower fetish that are pretty run of the mill. I have
studied up on all the possible topics by reading erotica and doing
web searches so I am pretty well versed in all areas. I even have a
client that prefers I speak in an English accent. I am happy to
oblige him as it’s a fairly easy accent to mimic. Once a client
asked me to speak Chinese, well let’s just say that was a debacle
because I laughed the whole time.
I
divide my callers into three categories, four if you count the
newbies or one timers. First, I have “clean” callers that prefer
I don’t use foul language or talk dirty. They like a sweeter more
wholesome experience and I give it to them. Second, I have “dirty”
callers that like profanity and hot sex, usually involving toys or
bondage. Third are the “dangerous” callers. These are the clients
that want to know all about me. They want to know everything from my
favorite foods, to how I dress, where I live, and what my family is
like. Sometimes they ask if I have kids or pets, which are indicators
of a clientele I probably don’t want to be talking to. If I ever
have to cut anyone off, it’s usually from this list.
My
busiest days of the year are Christmas and Valentine’s day when
guys are feeling lonely and vulnerable and in need of company. My
slowest day is Super-bowl Sunday. Otherwise I maintain a fairly
steady stream of callers from ten a.m. to midnight. Anyone that calls
after hours without an appointment and wakes me up gets charged
double.
I
keep a thesaurus on my counter at all times in case I run out of
words for “baby” or to describe certain parts of the anatomy,
believe me there are only so many times you can use the same word
over and over again in a fifteen minute appointment. I usually dress
up for my appointments as well. It’s true I could talk to my
clients while wearing sweat pants and they would never know the
difference, but I feel sexier if I am dressed to the nines and that
comes across in the call.
I
also keep lozenges on hand at all times, that and water bottles or
hot tea with honey. I do A LOT of talking and my throat gets dry
fast.
Another
way to make bank is through merchandising. I have an extensive list
of items that are for sale, including stockings, garter belts,
perfumes, and undergarments among other things. You would not believe
how many people ask for these items. I should buy stock at Victoria’s
Secret! I stock up on the sales, which are usually five pairs of
undies for twenty dollars, and then I double the cost for a client,
plus shipping.
I
earn every penny the hard way, get it? The “hard” way, God, I
crack myself up. I build relationships with my clients and strive to
keep it real. Not all our conversations are about sex, sometimes the
men are lonely or just need to vent about their wives. That’s where
the professional conversationalist part comes in handy. Sometimes I
am more therapist than phone operator, and I take this role very
seriously. I always want to help my clients if they are struggling. I
also want to provide a safe haven for them, a place that they can
share secret thoughts without feeling ashamed.
The
work is interesting and I learn as I go. I don’t Skype with
clients, but I do instant message in real time. I used to record
myself moaning and groaning and just press play when a client needed
a quick release, but one time a client shared the feed and I had to
threaten the bastard with breach of contract and a court date. I like
real time interactions better anyway because we can hear each other
and really connect. I know when someone is engaged or distracted
based on his or her voice. This makes it better for business.fe
Some
of the men get excited before I even start talking dirty. I talk to
them about everyday things while we chat and ‘get to know each
other’. I tell them I am making waffles with whipped cream and
strawberries to give them a visual, and let them picture me however
they want. They might ask what I look like, and my classic response
is, “what do you want me to look like?” I take his or her
response and build it up. I start out pretty perky and ask all kinds
of questions. I praise a man at every turn and build his ego, priming
him for future phone calls. At this point of the phone call, or
online chat, he thinks he is the one in control. I let him go on
thinking that, it’s all part of my plan.
This
book is one that will have you laughing back, and let me tell you all
about what I read! First off, Cat the main character is a down to
earth true spirited woman, that carries a soft spot in her heart for
all her loved ones. But she is sure not afraid to blow someone away
with her mouth if she feels that you do not have good intentions or
mind her rules of safety first. She is a one of a kind lady for sure.
One of those aunts in the family that all the kids love and remember
after they have passed away. You know that kind right?
As
you can tell from my raving I really loved how Dewey put this
book together. The ghetto terms and all that go along with ghetto
mentality are vivid and super down to earth! This
is what really made this character so believable to me. The fact that
she cusses, very lively with a good heart and a well meaning spirit,
really added to the true quality of the character, that even brought ME out of my funk. Like I said earlier, I was
laughing back, and so will you. But seriously, how many people are like that nowadays
that you know? That sort of spirit has very much been replaced by
straight materialism and self consumption. Anyways, the book was powerful in many underlying aspects and Dewey made me do a
self reflection too!
Dewey obviously knows a ton about down home culture, as well as being heavy.
Believe it or not, there are tons of new people coming out of the
closet about how they love fat women and just want to be with someone
who is natural. Yes and it is so true because I am darn sure not the
skinny woman! Believe me I know! You rock Dewey! Keep up this sort of fiction, WE really need it nowadays~
I
rate this book FIVE stars and am very PROUD to do so! Cat Livin'
Large really HITS the spot if you know what I mean!
