I know I’ve mentioned before how if you could attribute human traits to the cats, that Jackie and Katie would be married. And the past few years I’ve realized that they’d be old style Mormons, with the addition of Little Bit as a second wife.
Well, yesterday I was in the family room, watching Jackie walk across the tile into the living room area. Katie was fast asleep on the top of the kitty center that Brian made years ago, the center that has baskets and blankets and towels for soft sleeping. There is a big pillow on the top and it’s a prime spot for a cat. Anyway, Jackie saw her and started trilling and talking to her. I watched her open her eyes and look down at him. He kept talking, she sat up, and jumped down.
Then I watched him walk across the tile to the garage door, Katie by his side.
Later, I saw Katie, Jackie and Little Bit all lazing on the cement at the side of the house, outside of the garage.
And I’m thinking his relationship with Little Bit has her mellowing towards us humans quite a bit. If he’s around, she just stays put when we walk by, watching carefully. Observing how she’s finding new places in this house after all these years, that there’s more to it than just the living room and bedroom. She saunters across the family room like she’s done it for years. When I feed the cats at night, she hangs by the open door.
I like these changes.
