She wags her tail. All the time.


I haven't actually called her Kittydawg out loud - yet - but I do
think it to myself every time I see that tail of hers going a mile a minute.

That reminds me of the time my parents came to visit (many years ago).
My Dad was strictly a dog person, and we had cats. Pyewacket (RB)
decided to convert him. Every time my Dad sat down, Pye jumped in his
lap. By the end of the visit, My Dad was callying Pye a "puppycat'.

That's cute! My father didn't like cats at all. He always felt there
was something sneaky about them. No cats allowed!

Mom & Dad's neighbor (now my neighbor) had two black cats, Fedders and
Schwartzie. I used to cat sit them. When Dad was still alive he would
see the cats walking around behind the house he'd say, sotto voce,
"Those cats listen to everything we do."

Need I mention Dad suffered from dementia? But even before that he
never liked cats. He always thought they were sneaky.

I don't understand how someone can't like cats. They're so cute.
They're pretty. They're soft! They purr!

Stand offish? Okay, not all cats want to be lap cats. But I've rarely
encountered one that didn't at least accept the occasional quick pet.

Buffy was skittish when she first came to live with me because she'd
been bullied by another cat in her former house. Once she got
comfortable with the fact that it was just her, no other cat, she got
very happy and playful. And turned into a lap cat.
