My cat and Shakespeare

Most people know that cats are supposed to have nine lives. My cat has nine names...at least. He now fancies himself a lover of all things Will and likes to be called Tybalt, King of Cats.

I'm not sure about reincarnation, but if I were, I would swear that my cat had been a king in his past life. Why? Because on a hot day he loves to be cooled down with a wet towel. I thought most cats aren't crazy about water, but mine purrs and purrs when I rub him down.

His latest request, well, command, really, is that someone pet him while he eats. Again, I thought cats don't like to be disturbed when they are eating. He actually meows until someone comes over and strokes him.

What does all this mean? I think it means that things change all the time and that which we thought we once knew, we might need to learn again.

So be careful of making a faux pas, or, as my Tybalt would say, four paws.
