Nice cat, DD, she does not look like a lady to trifle with.
I lived with a housemate with a cat who could not stand males. He loved his lady, and would be with her all the time, when she was home, unless she brought male companions. Then he would flee to me.
Something strange happened when I started dating my ex though. Whenever my BF was around, the cat would leave her, and get all over my BF.
I have loved and lost so many cats in my life.
I have seen my darlings eaten right in front of me while I was getting my rifle, revolver or shotgun ready to kill the pack of dogs (which I also love - do not mistake me here) with an appetite.
I used to live in the west Texas desert and I have always kept cats and dogs, but my animals always got along. It was the wild pack roaming dogs I had to worry about. Those wild dogs even killed my own dogs as well. That is why I shot every one of those wild bastards that came onto my land.
Too many horrors to share in one post, but this cat is my favorite.
It is NOT just that she is the most recent pet, but more that she is the most loving.
She "softpaws" me all the time and when she wants to hear me talk (my wife "accuses" me of using my Barry White voice for the cat -- LOL) she bats my mouth. I touch her "cheek" and she touches my cheek, softpaw, no claws.
I also become annoyed with her, because she thinks that all I have to do is attend to her.
I remember seeing a stupid posty pic of a very sad cat's face and I am paraphrasing the caption:
You have your friends. You have your games. You have your TV. You have your work. You have your meals and beer and even more friends.
I only have YOU!
THAT is how she thinks.
Gotta love cats!
