I’m sorry; I know you’re disappointed in me. Let’s just say its wishful thinking; someday I hope to truly be the crazy cat lady. In the meantime I did something to cause my daughter to say I need to take the word kat/cat out of the phrase altogether.
I asked myself, if my family were cats what kind of cat would they be?….Here are my answers, minus names…see if you can guess.
The first one is a calico and I think I’d name him Sir. He is VERY affectionate and loves to be in my lap and is nearly always in the same room with me. He is a very social creature and will curl up next to any of the other cats to sleep when I’m not around. He’s not high-energy or playful except when given the chance to hunt birds outside in the yard.
This one is a Orange Tabby. I would call him Buzz. He frequently goes from one extreme to the other and is either ALL energy or NO energy. When he is full of energy he loves to pounce on all the other cats, pretty much anything that moves, and when he has no energy he will plop down anywhere. He is a joker, and loves to play games, get into mischief, and make messes. Buzz is also very affectionate and lovable and takes every opportunity to get your attention.
This would be Darling, she is the baby of the family and doted on by all the other cats. They bathe her, protect her and all of them act as if they are her mother/father. There never was such a spoiled kitten in all the world as this one. Even with all the attention from the other cats she is a mamma’s girl and stays close to me most of the time.
This elegant little lady is the queen of the castle. And she makes sure everyone knows it too. She comes when she wants, goes when she wants and usually gets what she wants. I think I would call her Mulan (Lani) She is kind and gentle and loving (when she wants to be) she rarely finds Buzz amusing but occasionally will condescend to rough housing with him, but frequently taunts him, you can almost see her laugh and smirk at him. She has a unique way of communicating and “talks” to us, with several different tones, in a way we always seem to know what she means.
Last, but not least, is this sexy little devil, I would call him Apollo. Yes, he is very god-like. He doesn’t walk, he struts, it seems as if he thinks he’s a panther instead of a house cat. He’s large and muscular and loves to be outside catting around the neighborhood. He’s smart and sassy and loves to wrestle with Buzz and act silly with Lani. He’s very fatherly to Darling and what I like most is that he will spontaneously come out of nowhere and snuggle for a bit then disappear as suddenly as he appeared.
Hmm…I think I have an over-active imagination….sigh…..or……meow.
