These cats š¤
When they want you, they want you.
They insert themselves into the middle of whatever Iām doing to get what they want:
Cuddles, head rubs and tasty cat treats that are not fit for human consumption (I read the ingredients label today š³).
But when they donāt want you, youāre invisible.
I can call them and walk towards them and they act like Iām not even there.
Storm especially.
If sheās not in the mood to hang, she wonāt hang. I canāt pick her up. I canāt go towards her. Hell, sometimes I canāt even find her.
Though I suppose I canāt get too upset about feeling invisible because I bet they feel the same too sometimes.
When theyāre hungry and Iām nowhere to be found (because Iām napping, walking or buying cat food at the shops).
When they want to leave their bedroom (in the bathroom) but the doorās locked and no one comes no matter how much they meow.
When I leave them outside the house to go hiking all day.
Iām not sure what goes through their tiny brains but perhaps thereās the occasional thought that goes something like:
Where is John? Adyashatmypants? Are they coming back? Theyāve forgotten about us ššššššš
Perhaps.
Or perhaps theyāre way too busy chasing lizards and birds and Spider Wasps to give Ellie or I a second thought.
For all I know, theyāre celebrating.
YES! Weāve got the house to ourselves. Privacy. Freedom. Letās get WILD baby! PARTY TIME š„³ š„³ š„³ š„³ š„³
All the cats from the neighbourhood come over, they fire up the stereo (and sub woofer!) theyāve hidden behind the white rose bush in the garden and they play a trap/EDM remix of The Aristocatsā āEverybody wants to be a catā on repeat.
Then once the party starts winding down, they all log into Rageheart and do one of the rages together (Rage 53 most likely), bringing their nervous systems down into parasympathetic so that they can have a nice nap before Ellie or I gets home.
I mean, the last thing they want is for us to suspect they have these wild parties every time we go out, right?
Yes.
Thatās obviously what they do š¤
Speaking of Rageheart, you can try it out for free for 7 days and get the same tools the cats use at their parties to relax their nervous systems after they dance themselves into oblivion.
