For one, I think they are arrogant. They go and do as they please, always seeming to have a superior attitude when they blink. For another, they're unpredictably sneaky. If a cat chooses, it will pounce on you for no reason whatsoever other than to watch you scare. Yet another, they're inappropriate with all their licking and public bathing. Gross.
But yesterday, I found in myself the capacity to show Oreo, a black and white cat galavanting around our house, that I'm willing to look past his faults and show love. For whatever reason, he found his way to our house from a few blocks away. He has a tag and I've called the owners several times with no success.
So for now, he has become our cat, but ONLY outdoors! I refuse to let this cat work his way into my heart and home, claiming all furniture and counters as his own! (Not to mention, it helps keep the kids outside!)
But in the meantime, I made a special trip to the store to get Oreo some delicious canned food, tender slices of real veal and chicken in gravy.
Dumb cat.
