Wondering today what we will do with our cat. We are not cat lovers. This cat came with the house when we bought it 6 years ago. We have been feeding him ever since. He lives outside because my husband doesn't do cats. His name is Simon. He is a beautiful black Persian. We gave him a bath today for the first time ever. He was very calm and nice to us--no biting, no claws. We took him to the vet to get all his shots updated. I was realizing today that I think we've all become rather attached to him, as attached as one can get to an outdoor cat, that is. He often acts more like a dog than a cat, coming out to the car to greet us when we get home, following the children around outside and keeping watch over them as they play.
After his bath, we let him stay in the downstairs bathroom to get dry. After returning from the vet I put Simon back in the bathroom. Lance suggested that we let him come in the kitchen. Then later he suggested that we bring him into the den to watch a movie with us. "Who are you, and what have you done with my husband?" I asked.
Later we joked about how it was Simon's best, worst day ever with a bath and 3 shots but more attention from us than he has ever gotten. Lance said, "It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. From A Tale of Two Kitties." Ha, ha, ha.
Will we take the cat with us to Guam? Will we lend him to friends for 2 years? Will we include him in the rental agreement? I don't know.
