[Felvtalk] Our Cats....

[ROBERT CHAPEL]

Rachel...

Your little girl sounds like an adorable little hellion....and likely 
still small enough that her nighttime " Zooms" are not going to end up 
with the house Wrecked.... Like Ardy.... I have had a number of times 
now that I swear I want to kill my 9mo old ( Magellin...  " Jelly")  He 
weighs FAR too much to be zooming around the house like an 8 week old 
kitten but that is exactly what he does( he's doing it now as I type 
this note and he is driving me CRAZY)  Up over the bed...over the 
computer...up to the top of the Dresser...knocks EVERYTHING off..back to 
the floor.... imagines he sees something well ahead and takes off like a 
shot into the living room....over the sofa...across the windows... back 
again...into the kitchen where he knocks the pots and pans to the 
floor....THEN when I finally catch him he looks at me with that.... " 
Yeah..and?? " look almost as if to say...." What did you expect... I'm a 
CAT!!! "      Per Harry,  I used to have an unbelieveably affectionate 
tortie years ago who would take up residence on my chest EVERY night 
after I fell asleep....  I'd invariably wake up in the middle of the 
night to her " bisquit" making near my neck and my eyes would open to 
this little face mere inches from my own...Happy as could be, purring 
away and kneading to beat the band....  her claws stung but the whole 
thing was SO damn cute that I simply let her keep it up and ultimately 
fell back to sleep....   I think that is the actual barometer of when 
you have been transformed into a " cat person" when you are willing 
to endure the little discomforts of their " misbehaviors " ( that are 
generally simply "cat" behaviors) because you so appreciate their " 
catness ".....( BTW... that is not to say that I don't get outrageously 
irritated at times when he destroys some bit of the household in his 
Zeal...eg... My Patio door screens are virtually useless as a bug 
deterrent due to his discovery that climbing to the top of the screen 
and yowling will get me to the porch to let him back in....( I'm 
fortunate to live on the second floor of my condo complex and CAN allow 
my Kitties a taste of the outdoors without worrying about them taking 
off or contacting other cats or critters)....  I love to watch them 
enjoying themselves laying out in the sun and try to imagine that the 
sun is somehow ridding their body of the FeL Virus ( Fastasy of course 
but a nice thought)....  enjoy your new Kittens...  Harry will be as 
fond of them , over time, as you are if he has a heart...
