I'm glad to hear there are others for whom cat-ownership is primarily a means of providing their feline with a one-person staff.<br /><br />Dylan's sister Flame became quite accustomed to being the queen of her friend's apartment. When Dylan arrived from far-away Brooklyn after an absence of years it created a bit of a row. <br /><br />Dylan seems to be adjusting nicely, though, other than the occasional yowl. He's on his cat perch much of the time, "reading the paper" as I call it -- looking out the window and watching the birds. <br /><br />He spends a lot of time making sure the new young robins are properly plump. (Not that he'll ever get close to them, of course!)<br /><br />MarkM Bromberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12765520463415074032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3162618892808115761.post-73857901912046294042011-03-21T21:55:32.634-04:002011-03-21T21:55:32.634-04:00I am sure you will enjoy having Dylan in your life...I am sure you will enjoy having Dylan in your life. I agree with Burroughs about cats having routines, they organise these themselves and they are subject to change without any notice. <br /><br />Oscar is my first cat ever and he is now about six years old, he has recently decided to sleep on the end of the bed and does not vacate this position until about 10am. meaning I can't make the bed until he decides to leave. This was not always the case, previously he has adopted the coffee table as his main spot, unmoved by anything that may be on it, subsequently my university papers are always bookmarked with cat hair. He also used to sleep on top on the wardrobe, or open cupboard doors and sleep inside on the clothes. <br /><br />He goes through phases also regarding venturing out, some days he will go all day and then return to sleep and he will do that for a week or so, and then he will stay inside for days. Then he will vanish and I will see him across the road asleep on the neighbors veranda. <br /><br />He bites my pen when I write in my journal, he tries to curl up on my laptop when I am typing, he will chew on the rings on my fingers when i am on the lounge, he stalks the kitchen when I cook, he will sit on the edge of the bath when I shower and he will seek any lap that is on offer. But he is very independent despite all that. Everything is on his terms, but I wouldn't be without him.The above fore-mentioned.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04604066213359160314noreply@blogger.com
