Cats

Cats are funny creature as it is, however I think my cats are the exception. I have 4 cats total, but shhh don’t tell my HOA or they would have a fit since they limit the pets to 3. I also have a dog. Yes I am way over the pet limit, but I am a sucker for animals in need. I just figure I can say I only have one cat since two hide whenever people are around and the other two are litter mates and look identical except for one has a black spot on his nose. HOA people are not that smart, they will take my word that they are seeing the same cat. Yes, Mr. HOA Man, it’s a fast cat and can seem like it is in several windows at once. I know it may seem to change color, but it is just the light playing tricks on your overworked eyes Mr. HOA Man. That seems like a believable story to tell if I ever need it. I believe this will work since they believed my neighbors down the road who had 6 dogs in the back yard when they said they only had 3.
My first cat, Cookie, was a gift because my kids wanted a pet and figured giving me a kitten for Mother’s day was a good way to get a cat. Well that started a trend because we ended up getting the forth kitten, Cuddles, for one of the kid’s birthday gifts.
I got the two cats (time between the gift cats) because my vet was giving away kittens and he was down to two. I told him I would take one since I only had one at the time, but he said they had to go together because they were attached to each other and he would feel bad if they were separated. Later I was thinking that was so unlike him (he normally treats animals as property) I think he just wanted to get rid of those cats and made that crap up to get me to take both. So that’s how I got Tiger and Rex.
My cats are more human than some people I know. Tiger and Rex can open doors and let themselves in and out of where ever they wish to go. One morning I woke up to the front door wide open and the only prints in the snow were cat prints going out circling the car and then coming back in. Now I have to keep the door locked all the time to keep them from letting strangers in.
Cookie likes to tap you in the face while you’re sleeping if she needs something. Let me tell you a cold cat paw on your cheek feels like a human finger when you are asleep. I can’t tell you how many times she has scared me to near death by waking me up like that.
Cuddles is the fattest cat I have ever seen. For those of you who seen the new Shrek and seen the fat version of Puss in Boots and how he couldn’t lick himself; well that is Cuddles. She doesn’t like herself and Rex does it for her. Rex is weird anyways and I think he is confused as to who he is. When we first got Cuddles she was a small kitten and Rex acted like a mom to her and let her nurse on him. He still has this oversized nipple from when he let Cuddles nurse on him. So I guess it’s not so unusual for him to lick her clean because she is too fat to lick herself.
