Feline Obsession

She clawed her way into my heart and wouldn’t let go!

She clawed her way into my heart and wouldn't let go. ~ Missy Altijd

This has become her morn­ing rou­tine. She wakes up reluc­tantly, mak­ing dis­pleased noises, when I stir in the morn­ing. Then she lies there, snug­gled in the blan­ket, watch­ing me get ready (and get­ting great plea­sure, I’m sure). Then she climbs across the dress­ing table and goes behind the cur­tain and perches there on the ledge for a while, for rea­sons that are totally imcom­pren­si­ble to me. And she does this nearly eveyr day! She sits there for a while, like a bride await­ing her cer­e­mony. Then, once she’s done with her stint behind the cur­tains, she emerges sleep­ily and goes back to the blan­ket again!

Sigh, cats. Don’t even try and under­stand them. Just love them and let them be :)

I col­lect cat quotes, so if you ever come across any, please do send them to me! Here are some of my favourites:

Cats are smarter than dogs. You can’t get eight cats to pull a sled through snow. ~ Jeff Valdez

There is some­thing about the pres­ence of a cat… that seems to take the bite out of being alone. ~ Louis J. Camuti

If I tried to tell you how much I love my cats, you wouldn’t believe me — unless your heart is also meow-shaped and cov­ered in stray fur. ~ Lexie Saige

And I sim­ply love this one (it is also true :).

Cats are intended to teach us that not every­thing in nature has a pur­pose. ~ Gar­ri­son Keillor

  2. Here’s my con­tri­bu­tion -
    “In the begin­ning, God cre­ated man, but see­ing him so fee­ble, He gave him the cat.“
    – War­ren Eckstein

    Not had the for­tune of bring­ing up a cat so far, but will do so some­time surely. For now, could you please help me spread word on this?

    Thanks!

  13. My cats give me two looks that plainly speak their minds.

    “Lady, please, I don’t have to do that, I’M A CAT!“
    and

    “I think that you know what it is you can kiss!)

    And, if you have not guessed, my cats know that they are superior.

    Cur­rently, I have a nine year old ebony female (for­mally known as a BLACK CAT) that I adopted five years ago. I adopted two feral kit­tens less than a year ago — and of course they are in my favorite color of cats — ebony, and ebony and ivory.
