This. Sounds like he was a pleasant dinner partner. Probably thought that discussing medical procedures would interest you since you are a physcian. Called you catlady because of your cat reference. I don't know, maybe he's just guilty of being awkward by text, especially because he was doing the c prep.

If he gets his health care from the VA, he's probably a military vet. I'm guessing enlisted guy because he sounds kind of dumb. (not that all enlisted guys are dumb, but that usually the officers in your age range have a college degree and a decent IQ.)
If you hadn't said your age, I'd expect these texts to come from some 22-year-old.

I put a lot of years into school and work so I really avoided serious relationships. I made an off center remark that I wasn't really looking for a relationship anymore and was preparing to be THAT lady with all the cats. Plus I have really green, yellow-green, eyes.

1) Terrible texting, practically incomprehensible

3) Asking if you don't want to talk to him.
Was he awkward on the date?
OP here: I'm a doctor too - every so often I get strangers asking "would you look at this rash" kind of thing.
I agree pet names make me uncomfortable - trying too hard to establish false intimacy way too quickly. The question if I don't want to talk to him makes me feel like I'm giving him permission for ________what? Intruding? It doesn't matter, I'm moving on. it took me off guard because he claimed to be an educated businessman. His dad, who is an MD, had privileges in the hospital where I work.

You had just one date and he's already calling you pet names. That's weird.
The "text-speak" from an adult is weird.
The sharing about a colonoscopy is weird.

FWIW, I did not sleep with him, did not kiss good night, although there was a hug, AND I voluntarily split the dinner bill...... It was a nice dinner, pleasant conversation.
Sigh, he looked so good on paper......
After one date where you didn't even kiss, I would just fade (i.e. ignore further texts).
