The Two Tuxedo Cats
November 11th 2007 21:13
I was feeling really down over the weekend and I was with my sister, walking to her place when we came across this lovely tuxedo cat lying on the ground in front of some steps. I bent down and patted it for a while before sitting down on the steps and continuing my patting. I felt a lot calmer while I was patting it, although the poor thing’s fur had bits of dead hair and dirt from lying on the ground all the time. I tried to photograph it but it kept pointing its face towards the ground so the photo below was the best I could do.
My sister asked me why I wasn’t patting the cat’s belly but I explained to her cats disliked having their bellies touched unless they knew the person well. I know this from personal experience. Even my neighbour’s cats will only let me touch them there if they are lying on their backs.
Later on, I was walking home when I came across another tuxedo cat that likes to hang around the stairs near where I live. I looked at it and it miaowed at me. Ahhh, so cute. This time, I did not bother to pat it as I knew from past experience that this particular cat dislikes human contact. Although it doesn’t mind standing near people, it will claw at anyone who tries to pat it. So there was no way I was going to get that close with this cat.
