A cat who acts like a dog??
What a funny character this one is! I can't even find the words to describe her. She's like a mixture of complete opposites. Like a diva who needs attention the one minute, to an independant explorer the next; wild and free. Like a cat but like a dog too.
I was sitting at my desk writing, when I crumpled up a sheet and tried to throw it into the waste basket. The ball of paper was mid-air when she caught it and then ... brought it to me! I was so astounded that a cat could behave in such a manner, but surely it was only a once off?? So I threw it again, and she raced after it, caught it and brought it back. Wow! Wow! Wow!
And water? No problem! I love relaxing in the tub with a book, and she'd love nothing better than lying on my chest, half covered by water and taking a snooze right there and then.
This is one feline that has squashed all my previous assumptions about cat behavior!
