I once read that if cats were 200 pounds humans would be on the menu instead of just servants.

I once read that if cats were 200 pounds humans would be on the menu instead of just servants. For sure! I love the mouse taking the selfie!

rdback , spike , be careful what you wish for, this doting cat mom has more pictures than you will want to see! I will try to restrain myself. The cats are now about 1 1/2 years old. So different. Miss Maizette, of many names, who is often known as The Princess is still the aloof one. She will accept a short petting session, but really could care less. The only time she pretends to be affectionate is when she is trying to get me out of bed to let her outside in the morning. Also, she does enjoy being brushed and combed, sometimes butts in when I am sitting on the bed trying to use this spiny wet brush thing on my just washed hair. So of course I give her a turn. She went through a phase where she loved to chew cardboard, so I would bring nice hidey boxes home from Aldi's and she would shred them in just a couple of days. Don't know if it was teething, or boredom. Luke did a little, but it was minor. Little bits of chew spits all over. Luke is much more of a people cat. We sometimes fight to see who gets the best spot in the rocker recliner. But if he can't have the seat, he is usually happy to squeeze in where he can. He is a serious sleeper, once he zonks out, you can move him around and he just keeps sleeping. Maizie may sleep near a person in bed on sofa, but if you touch her, she gets up and leaves. They still occasionally sleep together for a bit, but it doesn't last long, usually turns into a licking and wrestling match and then Maizie gets disgusted and leaves. They got to go outside this summer, and now spend 6-8 hours outside each day, coming in for a bite to eat or check in every few hours. They catch my enemies,the voles, but don't eat them, just leave the bodies laying around for disposal. Every few days, they try to bring a live one into the house.

september, when I talk about cats like Maizie I say that they are not "a cuddle cat". Poor things, I want to cuddle them anyway!

Maizie may change her mind about affection as she ages. My Luna used to be very aloof, particularly with me. She barely let me touch her. But now she insists on long daily pet, scratch, and snuggle sessions. When I sit on the couch she is all over me...literally. I don't mind, except she guards me jealously and doesn't let Lily get close to me in the evenings. She will actually get up and chase her away, then come right back! She does permit me to be affectionate and snuggle with Lily in the daytime for some reason. So now I have a daytime cat and an evening cat.

My son has 2 cats. Ares and Messanna. Ares is very affectionate with my son! Messanna wants to be in the same room with him and tolerates cuddles. One day I accidentally startled my son and he yelped. Ares ran and hid and Messanna was going to fight me lol Now I think I could take little 8 pound Ares but not 16 pound Messanna! Cats are so silly <3

They don't always realize that they are small and will defend their human pals. I was not feeling well yesterday and my cat sat with me all day. She would take breaks for snacks but watched over me all day until I felt better. I love my cats!

cats are lions and tigers in small bodies. They don't always realize that they are small and will defend their human pals. So much truth!! Messanna is just a loner. She is very attached to my son but wants her space. My son was babysitting a cat for a friend and said cat hissed at me. No idea what was going on. The cat walked up to me and hissed. Messanna came flying around the corner at full speed and body slammed that cat. That cat went flying, Messanna flicked her tail and strutted off. So she likes me a little LOL
