Cats are delightful. Their affection, purrs and antics bring so much joy
to our lives. My cats will be snoozing throughout the day, but as soon
as they hear my car, they will be up and waiting in the front window or
behind the door. I lucked out in the cat lottery, because while they get
in to trouble from month to month, on a daily basis, these too cats want
to hang out and snuggle. They are very chatty, which is generally said
to be for the benefit of the humans. But I'll take it! Both cats have
their own form of conversing with me, it is so silly! They are both very
affectionate and will take turns throughout the day laying with me while
I'm on the couch or working.
My orange cat is Kevin, my black cat is Dora. They are about the same
age. I got Kevin first in November of 2017, and decided I wanted
Halloween kitties and found Dora later on in January of 2018. Kevin was
found completely alone, so we don't know his birthday. Dora has a
definite birthday and it was September, 2017.
It's not all sunshine and rainbows with some cats, you never know. Last
summer, when Kevin came back from the vet, something changed and the two
cats who used to sleep together, now hated each other! After 14 months
of brawls and trying different approaches to behavior, I discovered that
giving treats when they got close to each other was enough. They now
spend more time together, brawls only happen about once a week, and
there is not the same kind of fear hanging in the room that one is going
to want to attack the other. They've come so far! I highly recommend
Jackson Galaxy's content on YouTube to learn more about cat behavior.
That really helped my boyfriend and I make a plan. His videos also
helped me solve a problem with accidents a couple years ago.
