Nothing quite puts a spectacular finish on one's shitty day like having a skinny, sharp-clawed cat quite suddenly climbing up one's back.

I swear to God, this cat will be the death of me.

Ever since my mother left the apartment, bound for her final hospital trip in May of last year, this animal has not left me alone for a bloody second. He was extremely attached to her, would basically only leave her side to eat or occasionally have a lie down on me.

Now, he's the grey-furred monkey on my back. Quite literally.

I come from work, he's waiting at the door for me.
I sit at the computer desk, he jumps onto the back of my stolen swivel chair and makes his little-cat cries in my ear until I hold him.
I sit on the floor to watch television, he perches on my shoulder like a parrot.
I eat dinner at the kitchen table, he circles my legs and gets extremely sulky if I don't let him on my lap.
I go into the bathroom, for any reason whatsoever, he jumps up onto the counter and drinks water out of the tap.
I go to bed, he curls himself around my freaking head and does his absolute damndest to get underneath of me.

I love him, I really do. But, he's batshit insane.

He walks up and down the hallway yowling at the top of his bitty lungs, until I call to him. And any time someone comes to the apartment, he climbs all over them in a bid for attention.

Fifteen years old, skinny like some sort of Tim Burton creation, and afflicted with a hyper-thyriod. His favourite person left and never came back, so now he never knows what to do with himself and is thusly extremely clingy, no matter how much special attention I give to him.

This poor animal.

But, if he keeps playing kitty-cat rodeo on my back/arms/legs/head in the wee hours of the night, I am going to bust out the liquid Valium and dope him within an inch of his nine lives.

Our cat does some similar things.. whenever Amy leaves the house, the cat will cry and cry and cry and carry her little stuffed Kangeroo to the door Amy left through and put it there. And if Amy is sitting or laying down the cat has to be there all up in her face. I went into bed last night and the cat was sleeping way up on her chest, with her cheek on Amy's cheek! It was actually kind of cute. o.O

Unfortunately, our cat is kind of chubby you know, but if there's a place she wants to go or see through that's too high she'll secretly wait until someone is standing near it and bends over slightly, then she will LEAP UP and claw her way up to your shoulder.

ya know,,,,i love cats,i really do. we have three but i cant help but wonder at this point,are they really friendsly little personalitys we have around as companions or just cute parasites? im not saying our cats are evil or anything like that,,but i cant help but think if they were large enough they would eat us. or if they found someone to feed them better and pet them more and give them more cardboard and crinkly plastic,,our faithfull companions would drop us like a bad habbit

EeeEEE!!

I got the BPAL!

And MALIFICENT. OMG

I actually got tingles up and down my legs. I have crazy girl love for Malificent and now I have crazy girl love for you.

Also, Early Grey owns my soul, so good choice in tea ;)

Thank you!!!!

Hooray! I'm glad it finally got there, I was really starting to get worried.

Also, the Malificent was a total shot in the dark for me. I've got this little box that I keep a bunch of extras in for BPAL swaps and sales; with you I was completely unsure what to put in there, so I just started guessing. :D

Good choice then, doll ;)
