Whilst sitting one night, I started a list as to why I love our cat “Magic”.
Mac, my other half stated, that he bets that I could not generate a list like this about him. He made me think, as it seems, no, I could not.
Luckily for me he is not one to harbor hurt and let me carry on regardless...
So, in a nutshell these are some of her antics that have won my heart more than any cat I have ever known. She is a black Oriental and has me in fits of laughter; I am the only one she acts for as I talk to her as if she is one of my tribe...for this I am so grateful. She makes my day daily with some precious moment that makes me smile at the innocence and trust she has for me.
Cat lovers will relate (as only we do...)
· Her love of getting her cheeks pinched and been told that I love her.
· Her excitement when I get home, rolling over on her back chirping, legs apart waiting for a tummy tickle, and then onto her sometime cat nipped soaked scratch post to have a go.
· Her constant talking to me, and my understanding of exactly what she means, time to play, Trying to sleep, wants to get under the duvet, wants tuna, wants pellets, wants her litter box changed NOW, I’m curious what you doing? Where have you been, where are you going, does not approve of a visitor moan, don’t tease me, not happy you locked me in a cupboard shriek, (even though she sneaked in!!!) Her nodding of her head to greet me with a meow when I walk back into a room (she actually does nod her head!!)
· Her climbing on my back with a chat “ Hello, been on the computer way to long I need your attention now”
· Her pumping of her toy with her back foot and shooting it into the air, standing on her 2 back legs to catch it, all on her own occupied for ages!!!
· Her response, looking at me upside down on the bed when I tell her how gorgeous she is, she then hides her eyes with her paws so that I cannot see her.
· The sound of a sincere and content.... Aaaaaaah.... when she settles in for the night.
· Her peeping when she hears a sound or a knock at the door.....leans right over...
· The hide and seek games around the lounge, when she actually looks for me, talking not stop.
· The sneak onto my lap when I am not looking
· Her fur cushion that she loves, if we are sitting on it, we are told in no uncertain terms and she needs on it no matter how small the space behind us.
· The bashing on any door that I close, she knocks to come in. She is like a rash( always around) don’t believe me ask Mac, he often has to let her in. It’s hilarious!!
· Her love of pilchards in tomato sauce, tennis biscuits, cheese, pasta, ice-cream, gammon, pork sausages, (turns her nose up on chicken and beef...fussy!!)
· The stage show that happens when she spots a flying insect, she lets the block know that she has spotted something....
· The stomach cramping laughter we experience when she attacks our cardboard cut-out cat Tom... she thinks he is real and stalks and attacks him, and then finally pounces on top of him when he is down on the ground already ... just to make sure. This is her turf!!
· The shredding of newspapers at a whim (looks like we have a rat present)
· The look of concentration and her understanding of what I am saying always amazes me, she is so clever...not just saying that....... she has an IQ I swear!!!
· Her head butting me with love all the time...
· Her mad insane energy just as we are settling in to sleep.
· Her waiting patiently for her leftover oats in the morning and thanking me.
· Her bath ritual with Mac, sits on the side and watches, plug gets pulled straight to the basin to see what’s up on that front, water drains out of bath she gets in a lies around and stays there for at least 10 minutes. Then visits me sopping wet and ready for more love. (Demanding!!!)
· Her waiting for Mac at the exact time he comes home, hears him cough and she is on her back ,legs open waiting (what a tart!!)
· Her hateful moan and bite when the mobile rings and I start talking... (Every time without a doubt...she detests a cell????
· Her nip on my stomach when I am watching something on TV and not focusing on her for a change.
The list will extend as she does.
We are so glad that we have you to love and to brighten our lives.
Your loyal servants
Kim and Mac
