I
got a call from a local animal store saying "I know your Himmy died,
would you be willing to take in an older cat that is scheduled to be
euthanized?" I went to see her and took her home. That was three years
ago. Her human mother had gone into a nursing home, and they had to get
rid of her three cats. One went to her daughter, one died and I got Meany.
I called her Meany when I got her because she was big on biting and
scratching, maybe from having so many cats in the house. Now she rarely
does it unless really irritated.
She has a couple of cute things she does. When you flush the toilet she
gets up on the rim and puts her head in and waits for it to come up to
where she can drink from it. She likes to sleep on her water bowl, I am
waiting for it to turn over and wet her one of these days. She sleeps on
one side of my bed on a pink satin quilt with her head on a book
(Watership Down). She likes to be scratched a lot, but not picked up or
cuddled, thank you. When she is on the floor and looks up at me, she looks
so quizzical. She has recently discovered that breakfast is served in the
computer room if she can get out of bed and show up, proving that you can
teach an old(er) cat new tricks!
