Cat 22
Just because you’re a cat person, doesn’t mean you wanted the honor. I suppose there are as many kinds of cat people as there are kinds of cats. Can a cat person be created or is it a birthright? Nature or nurture? Take care or torture? How do they suck you in? In Golden Boy’s case, it was kitty pity. He was the apple in my offspring’s eye, until we discovered her allergy to him. My husband also has an intolerance, so who else was going to love this smiley scallywag?
To me he’s the ‘Pooze’. Dragging strings and frustrating him with feather-covered fancies had always been my job. When I first began loving him extra, his way of loving me back involved skewering me. As a staunch dog lover, I found this illogical. He frequently felt the effects of gravity after returning his version of affection.
When I am at my limit with his innate ability to be where I don’t want him to be and doing what I don’t want him to do, he climbs up on me and curls up sweet as he can be. He also purrs and talks to me when I am having a bad day. That Darn Cat! I love him, anyway.
