It is so true! But I love my cat for the different reasons.
1. Нe is waiting for me near the door and when I enter and he Meow me like he is saying "where you have been for so long?!" or better: "where the hell you have been for so long?!" or "I had the worth time of my life, because others in this household do not feed me!". When I call him, he answers - Meow, or mew-mew-mew (btw, when my husband or son are calling his name, he ignores them, what makes me feel very SPECIAL!).
2. He will never miss an opportunity to get something to eat: if he can, he will knock my head out by constantly and very annoyingly asking for food when I am in the kitchen. This includes vocal skills and, of course, getting between my legs or on my way. He learned very quickly that by doing these tricks, I will rather give him piece of ham, then stand him. And voila! piece of ham is in him mouth! Yammm! However when there is no one in the kitchen, and there is food available, he will steal it, it is for sure. Other day my son did not finish his chicken-noodle soup. Vasiliy (cat's name) did not hesitated, he was eating the soup right from the bowl, while i was not watching him. But this typical soup smell.... It sold him out when I was kissing him in his thief-face.
3. He sleeps in his cozy kitty-bed so nicely, so cute that all what I want at those moments is to lay down next to him (what i do sometimes, however only my upper-torso can feet in there).
4. He is gracious, even though he is overweight.
5. When I am bored, or working from home, meaning sitting the whole day on my ass in front of the computer, he is a good companion: I can talk to him, I can hug&kiss him, I can just observe him when he is sleeping or doing something interesting, like washing his face with a paw.
6. He protects his territory, even though he stack inside the house. After breakfast, he is walking from window to window to check the back-yard (and sometimes the front street, however he does not like that one because of dogs-neighbors that are walking with their masters, yaah!). So...Anyway... He looks through the window and if there is a squirrel or bird or, O My God!, ANOTHER CAT, he will go crazy. His tail will get fluffy and start moving left-right, left-right; his voice will change dramatically and become like a lion's ROWR, he will top at the window and scream the intruder away.
7. Finally, he is a hard working individual. I had got him because of mice in the house (always was a doggy-person till then), and guess what? No more mice. He keeps my house
rodents-free! No more exterminators, mouse traps (that usually catch humans) and rat-poison in the basement. So, he is saving me money.
And now a question for you: will any man ever provide so many positive things at once?
