I'm in Cat Heaven

[shakatany]

I arrived safely at my cousin's house yesterday and now I have cats!! She has 2 cats - Sophie the older one is beautiful but dumb. Their new one is a black 8-month old (teenage) cat who has lately been let out during the day so he wouldn't bother Sophie as much. Today we have to keep him in as the vet is coming to give him a vaccination. He has been grumbling in catspeak since early morning, complaining that the door service today is terrible. Just now he jumped up on the desk trying to get up close and personal in case I didn't hear him the 500 other times he's meowed to be let out. The reason I haven't told you his name is that he has an abundance of names. He was originally called Max then for some reason he was called Teeny. Now my cousin's hubby has decided he's a Levine and I've decided he's a Shadrach (I thought I might as well contribute to the confusion *g*).
He like to sleep atop an upholstered cat condo nicknamed the Tower of Teeny that must have been very comfortable when he was smaller but now parts of him hang over the edges. He appears to be totally black but my cousin tells me in strong sunlight you can see some very subtle striping. Did I tell you he's very vocal? It's a form of torture they hadn't thought of at Abu Ghraib - being driven insane by a meowing cat. I just hope the vet is prompt.

He's extremely cute - when my cousin's husband was away for the night he decided to sleep on hubby's pillow assuming his place as male-of-the-house *g*
His current name is Fluffy (all pets in my cousin's mom's house are called Fluffy something)Teeny Levine Bagheera the Black Bullet (I gave up on Shadrach but Bagheera really suits him as he has stripes that show in strong light like a black panther shows his rosettes. The Black Bullet comes from the fact he's very fast. I wonder if he'll remember me next year.

Cats are wonderful creatures. When I lived by myself that time in a little flat I had one of our cats, Bobby - he's gone now died of old age, come to live with me for company. I got 24hr 'flu and just lay groaning in bed and Bobby curled himself around the back of my head on the pillow and stayed like that till I was better. When I staggered to the loo and back he never moved, I just lay down and slotted my head back into the crescent shape.

If you feed Fluffy he might remember you. ;)

No he'll probably remember me as the human willing to get up at 6 to let him out of the house *g*
