ORIGINAL: LinnaeaBorealis I so wish that I could afford more cats, but I can't really afford the 2 I have. I'd love to have a little kitten again. But these are the ones who chose me, so I couldn't argue with them. When you are chosen, argument is futile. When Mr. Cat decided to move in with me, we argued for 3 weeks. Finally, I closed all the doors & windows in my house & proceeded to wait him out. It started raining & he just laid down on the bow of the boat in the back yard & didn't move for 3 days til I finally gave in. And he ended up being the best friend I ever had in my whole life. People who hated cats would come in the house, go directly to him & pet him & say that he was different. And he was. I was so blessed to have him in my life. If I could write, I'd write a book about him, because I have 14 years' worth of stories about him. My Squeek was my best friend too, he was the first cat that was really mine, in that we were connected to each other. I cried every single day for a month after he died. Yes, I could write tons about him too. TC was a great cat too but totally different personality. TC helped me thru Squeeks death. I miss them both. I love cats, I love their personalities. I would love to have cats again, but I cant do that until I have a home where I will stay for a while... So, for now, I must live vicariously thru others.. When I was in 4th grade, my Father allowed me to get a kitten. I named her Mitzie & I've always said that she was my real mother because she actually cared about me. I had her until I went off to college & my sister moved to CA & they had to find a home for her. If I cried, she would come running to see what was wrong & if she could make me feel better. When I had cramps from my period, she'd lie on my lower abdomen & purr & look worried at me. It was like having a sort of vibrating hot pad, which always made the cramps better. She & Mr. Cat were the cats I've been closest to in my life even though I've had multitudes. But most of them were "just cats". Lovable & sweet but really just cats, not best friends or mommies.
