I was just thinking, while on the couch doing my daily cuddle with my Pirate baby, about what I would miss if for some reason I had to leave my cats, they had to leave me, they passed away, I went on vacation, stuff like that. Any situation where you have to be away from your cats for an extended period of time. I thought it may be a good idea to start a thread about what things you would miss MOST about your cat(s) if something like this happened. Perhaps it has happened to you, it's happened to me. I'd say maybe give 3-5 things that you'd miss most, have missed most, or do miss most.
1. My cuddle-time with Pirate on the couch during the day/night (not mornings, he doesn't do mornings
). It's a very special, "spiritual" time for both of us, extremely bonding and relaxing (you'd have to see it, it's kinda creepy how cuddly he gets)
2. Taylor's annoying meow. She will meow for anything, and it's the most annoying meow you could ever hear from a cat.
3. Waking up to Pirate sleeping right next to me, making sure he's touching me somehow.
4. Mia's uncanny ability to sense when I'm feeling blue, sick, upset, etc. It's like she was put on this planet to love, and sense when there's a "disturbance in the force"
and try to make me happy and comfort me. She's not normally the most social, but when something's wrong, she becomes Little Miss Social Butterfly to me.
And finally...
5. When Pirate greets me at the door, without fail. I can always count on him to be right there, blocking the door to my flat (he's tripped me countless times). And he waits there until I put down whatever's in my arms so that I can pick him up and carry him around like a sack of potatoes over my shoulder.
There's still soooo many things that I would miss, do miss, about cats that no longer live with me. But I try not to think of them, as they tend to just upset me.
What things would you miss?
