What is it with cats?
I love cats, I've had cats all my life. My current fur babies are Hannibal my big Russian blue who is definitely mama's boy and Jazz a black and white moggie that we found dumped at only 4 or 5 weeks old - she's her daddy's girl. They make life truly more joyous, are loving and affectionate - when they want to be - but they also have some rather weird habits I've noticed.
1. Why on earth when they kill some disgusting thing, be it crickets, cockroaches, lizards, mice or yes, even birds [shudder] - why do they have to bring it straight to me, dump it at my feet and then look at me so expectantly. What do they want me to do? Eat their revolting offering? Pat them on the head? [well I do that but only when they kill mice and lizards cause I really hate those things]. I mean seriously, why?
2. Why is it that when I'm working, writing, housework, whatever but why when I'm busy are they all over me demanding attention and affection and yet the minute I sit down to relax and would enjoy some cuddle time they're not interested? Are they trying to assist me in my tasks? Distract me from my tasks? Or are they just plain ole ornery?
I give up - I've just decided that cat behaviour makes no sense. Of course it could just be MY cats that make no sense but either way I quit trying to understand. I'll just have to keep loving them and putting up with their weird little quirks.
Cheers,
Trace
