Deuter

So this morning was interesting.

I woke up because I felt someone touching my head and then I felt a kick. So when I woke up this is what I saw.

Deuter sleeping

Really, Deuter? He is a big kitty so the kick he gave me actually hurt. I tried moving him but he wouldn't budge. Then he just lifted his head up and stared at me as if I was the crazy one. You can't fight with a cat  that's as stubborn as their owner. 

I got up and started to read for class. I got side tracked because I started thinking about our cats and how they act. 

A lot of people claim that cats have no personality and that dogs are so much better because they greet you at the door, and show you just how much they're happy to see you. Yes, I see the differences. When I get home Chi Chi is sitting by the door and the minute I close the door behind me she jumps up to greet me. As soon as I sit down on the couch she jumps up and puts her paws on my shoulders and wags her tail. It's hilarious because she just looks so happy.  She isn't the only one that does that though. 

Mayhem always waits by the door next to Chi Chi; so does Misty, Mischief (if she's in the mood), Latte (because he thinks we have treats for him), Deuter and Tidy are always sleeping when we get home and you can usually find them on the bed or in one of their other spots. 

They all greet me differently just because they each have a different personality. 

For example if we're sitting on the couch watching TV, Deuter will sit next to my husband and tap him on his leg. This is a sign that he wants to be pet. (His way, if he doesn't feel that you are giving him your undivided attention he vocalizes)  Latte will run from where ever he is as soon as he hears someone going to the kitchen. If I'm sitting at the table having breakfast and if I happen to be eating toast he sits right next to my head on the back of the chair tapping me on the shoulder because he wants a piece. 

Everyday my cats and Chi Chi have different ways of making us laugh. Chi Chi is more forward in her approach versus the cats who are more subtle in showing their affection. 

Therefore, it is not that cats lack personality or that dogs are better it's that they're different. In a good way. If people would give them a chance they would be able to see just how great they are. 

Thanks for reading! Have a good night!
