This
is my long-time kitty buddy, Emily. Her real name is Emily
Litellavision Cat, named after the Gilda Radner Saturday Night Live
character, Emily Litella. That's because Emily would sit on top of
the television, and lean over to bat at the moving images.Even though
she is getting on in cat-years, and is showing signs of being deaf,
she can easily jump up onto my desk, and always comes running at the
rattle of the cat treats box.
She always has a purr for me, is usually waiting inside the door when
I come home, and I love her dearly.She's still the cat love of my
life, even though she's a little slower. She still jumps up and down
off my 3' high desk, and in fact she's sitting here right now,
waiting for me to finish my cereal, so she can have the remaining
milk. She may have some siamese in her, as she sits tall and
straight, with her feet close together. She's dainty and ladylike.
She doesn't bat at the TV anymore. I've read that without a scent,
they don't think the images are real creatures. She never really
showed interest in a red laser pen light, either. I've seen other
cats that go nuts over that, though.
She takes charge over my other cat, Toes, who's 12. She was never
happy that I brought another cat into the house, but has learned to
tolerate Toes. They will sometimes lay on the bed together, but it's
usually facing away from each other, as if she doesn't want to be
reminded that that other cat is still there. Sometimes, when she
realizes Toes is there, she'll kick Toes off the bed, even if they've
been sleeping there for some time. I like kittens, but my older cats
have such personality and are such a part of my family, that I can't
imagine what it will be like when they're gone.
