Sometimes it's fun to call your cat a "creature" while you're talking to them. For instance, "ah, the creature likes being brushed, this is fascinating data"
In a comment board over at Talking Points Memo, a guy tells the story of how his family took in a stray cat. He became an indoor cat, but for *5 years* he wouldn't let anyone get near him. And then one day . . . The wonder in the guy's recounting this was extraordinary.
Right? When more than one cat is napping on the bed I feel like a vampire. When one hops down I instruct them to patrol the grounds in my stead so that I may rest. I'm quite weary.
