Number two brings us Pebbles. Here is a visual.
Pebbles is… Unique. She is the half sister biologically of Sassy. They came from the same home, from a family we knew and trusted. Sassy, when she came to live us, was loving and attached to me as Mama very quickly. A couple of years later came Sassy. She… Had a much more difficult transition. If I didn’t know better, I would assume that she was abused. In fact, it’s like she hid under the bed for her first two years here. Every time she came out, Poe would grab her up, hold her firmly, and love on her just a second past her wanting to get down. Over time, it took longer and longer for her to fight to get down. Over the last year, we’ve seen SO MUCH PROGRESS! Now… She’s our buddy. She’s still not a snuggler. But she can be found near us at all time. She begs for attention. She LOVES getting love.
Some quirks of this cat… If someone goes to the bathroom, she barrels through the door. She has somehow figured out that if we’re on the toilet, we’re indisposed of for a period of time. What better way to pass the time, than to scratch her head? She does not want to drink out her water bowl, although she will if she has to. She’d much prefer you run the bathroom sink for fresh water out of the faucet, thank you. Battery operated toothbrushes are the devil, period. If she’s going to eat, she’d like you to rub her tummy while she does it, thanks, during which she will purr as she chews, which is the oddest snarfy sound. If she falls asleep, she will suddenly startle awake, think that she’s been unconscious for 10 years, run for us yelling loudly, and start doing somersaults to try and get you to rub her belly. It’s been 15 minutes since she got her belly scratched, you see. And finally – she loves to lick plastic. Plastic bags, plastic packaging… Her Favorite.Thing.Ever. is a partially opened package of toilet paper. She’s very, very strange.
Strange cats… I’m guessing you mean *all* cats 😉 I have a pair of strange ones myself- one that loves to sleep on our heads at night, and seems to have an obsession with licking the couch, and the other loves to be chased around the house. They both like to stare at the walls sometimes, and then meow loudly, in hopes of contacting the mothership or something! So weird!
