This
is my fuzzball, Tantrum. He rarely is ever called Tantrum because I
am constantly calling him by one of my other names for him (fuzz,
mister, tanny, kitten, etc.). Despite what his name might say about him,
he really is a cuddly kitty. Tantrum came to me about seven years ago. I
actually went out searching for him because I knew there were some stray
kittens in the neighborhood. After hearing him cry out for me from a
ditch, I caught him and took him home with me. He was extremely happy to
have a warm and loving home. When I went to college, he and my other
cat, Snowflake, had to live with my dad. I missed them both like crazy
and every time I came home for a break, I think I was more excited to see
them then my family! After I graduated and came home, the three of us
moved into an apartment, and Tantrum is more lovable than ever!
He is always on his back, wanting a belly rub, and sometimes he follows
me around so I will pick him up and pet him and give him kisses on his
forehead, which he loves. A year or so ago I bought him a catnip filled
chipmunk toy which he absolutely loves, and plays with all of the time.
Usually he gets bored with toys after awhile, but I even had to buy him
a new chipmunk because the old one was lost when we moved.
He thinks that people food should also be his food (a bad habit he
picked up living with my dad) so he meows when I am in the kitchen
cooking - especially if it is cheese. Both he and Snowflake sleep with me
every night (although Snowflake has to sleep right next to me, and
Tantrum likes his freedom a bit more).
Every day when I get home from work he gets up from wherever he is
sleeping (usually in a sun spot) and comes to say hello. I am pretty
sure that both of my kitties understand me, and when Tantrum gets in
trouble for picking on Snowflake (she is 21!), he knows it. But, he is
still the sweetest boy ever, and anyone who knows me knows how much I
love my cats. I don't know what I would do without them! I am thankful
for them every day!
