But now my father has his own cat and he's just nuts about him. This cat
takes long walks with my father, which my dad, being somewhat new to cat behavior (even though he lived with them in our family, he tried to avoid them as much as possible), thinks is completely unique and that Baxter is an amazing cat. I don't have the heart to tell him that many other cats do this, although it's true it's not the norm. I met Baxter on my last visit last month, and he's very, very cute. Long, lanky brown tabby who likes to roll around in the dirt. I just find it very sweet that this long-time dog-person has gotten so attached to a cat. He calls Baxter "a dog in a cat suit." About the only good thing I can say about my ex-wife is that she introduced me to cats. Prior to meeting Vera, I was strictly a dog person. I didn't dislike cats, I just had never spent any time with them so didn't care for them either way. Once I started dating her, though, I quickly found out how wonderous kitties are. After getting home from work and taking care of the chores that needed to be done, I'd collapse onto a chair in the living room and her Himalayan female, Cassandra, would curl up on my lap and I'd start petting her. A couple hours later Vera would walk past and say "you're STILL petting that cat?" and sure enough, I'd still be petting. It just felt completely natural. Since that time I've never been without a cat, and can't imagine life without feline companionship. Dan |
