A most amazing thing happened today between our cat Piper, and me. If you give an animal unconditional love and prove to them that they can trust you 100%, they can give it back. Since Piper has come into our lives we have bonded solidly. I spent a winter hunkered down with her while Steph was gone and I saved her life during that time by getting her to the Vet in time to treat a horrible infection.
She totally gives up her belly when I brush her and I place gentle kisses in the soft part and whisper I love you. During the day when I come home I find where she’s sleeping, kiss her on the forehead and tell her I love her.
Ok, yes I have a girlfriend and I should probably be doing this to her but she would most assuredly freak out!
Today, Steph started up the weed-whacker outside and I watched Piper waddle her fat self to the back part of the house because she can’t handle the noise. A while later I went looking for her and found her under a chair in our bedroom. I got down on the floor and petted her, stroked her belly for a bit and then sent two air kisses her way. You know, when you pucker your lips and make that sound…
Here’s the amazing part. She looked me in the eye and sent two kisses back. Her mouth actually puckered up each time, a sound was made, and I felt her love.
Nice post, Piper has been very loving with me while you were on your recent trip. We are very lucky to have a sweet little kitty. She is our baby :-)
Ok, you are good teachers. Animals are the best friends you can have.
I am really not trying to sound like the cat know it all. We have not had less than 9 cats and up to 16, (15 at the moment) since 1987 and I do know how much the love given them can be returned. I have one calico female now that will come to my chair and climb up on my chest, I give her a good petting and talk sweet to her and she puts her mouth against mine and gives me a kiss to show she loves me. I am glad to see you getting the benefit of the special love a cat can give. Unlike a dog it must be earned and deserved as a cat has the intelligence to be picky about it. Enjoy her while you can. We just lost one of our sweet girls two weeks ago to an old age disorder. Hope all is well with you and Steph. If you are ever in the area stop in and say hi, we are unable to travel far so can not get there to see you.
You are the cat know it all Rod, I bow to your prowess! I’ve had lot’s of great cats over the years but never had one throw kisses to me. It was surreal…
If I can get near your place this year old buddy, I most certainly will drop by.
