Happy April Fools day! Got any plans?
I'm enjoying a little downtime this morning, nothing scheduled until the afternoon, which will arrive quickly as per usual. Meantime, laundry.
I finished up a little over a week of cat sitting Wolfgang's cat while Wolfgang was out having adventures. This meant going to the cat daily, which I don't mind. Wolfgang's place is across town from work, but it's a pleasant bicycle ride, just adds time to the commute.
It would be convenient if Maisey the cat just stayed with us, but our cat, Napolion, will never accept that. He's becoming an old man and gives off plenty of GET-OFF-MY-LAWN! energy when it comes to other cats invading his territory.
Maisey is a sweet kitty, but Physical Touch is NOT her love language. I know to let her initiate any contact. I'd say she's more of the Receiving Gifts variety - as long as the gifts are food.
Once that's taken care of, she's happy to sit nearby and stare at me with her hypnotic blue eyes.

Her way of saying, "thanks"?
It feels more like, "Who are YOU, and what did you do with Wolfgang?"
Those are some judgmental eyes, if I ever saw any.
ReplyDeleteBut it would be very difficult to resist patting that fluffy, fluffy girl.
Yes, she's furry yet judgy
DeleteAchoo!! Aren't all cats judgy? not like to be touched unless they want it from you? I'm a dog person, so I know nothing about cats. I am scared to death of cats, and when I visit someone with one, they either put that cat somewhere or I'm not coming in. I even tried being hypnotized to get over this fear. Made it worse. It is certainly not convenient, but I don't have to cat sit. LOL
ReplyDeleteI know of your deathly fear. Not even hypnotism, eh? Cats can be creepy sometimes, in their judgy ways.
DeleteCats are like that. I used to be scared to even walk past Daughter's cat.
ReplyDeleteOur cat is the Alpha of the home, and everyone knows it
DeleteVery, very pretty ice blue eyes. Never saw a cat IRL w/eyes like that. Neato.
ReplyDeleteCome to think of it, I don't remember another blue-eyed cat either.
DeleteShe looks Balinese, and like the short haired Siamese Counterpart, they tend to just like their specific Humans. And Napolion is much like our Cat Eli, he too has the "Get Off My Lawn" Old Man temperament about his Territory, so no other Felines, and very few Humans, are Welcome. She is a Beauty and she seems at least comfortable enuf with your presence so long as you respect her Love Language. *smiles*
