Because every day is Caturday

in #catsofsteemit5 years ago (edited)

I went for a walk on the hill and heard a plaintive meowing behind me. There's only one cat who is a bad tempered lunatic and whiny baby at the same time so I called to him and a tail appeared in the long grass. I kept going, thinking he would follow but he decided to remain in the valley.

He is just to the right of the biggish bush

When I got back down there, he acted like he hadn't seen me in 5 years. Because he is psycho, he's friendly and clingy when outside the house but will take your face off if you touch him when he's not in the mood if he's inside.

I continued back to the house with him in close attendance. On one of the rocky outcrops, he decided to do a little "I'm so happy, I'm going to roll around and rub my head on everything" cat act.

Check out the toe on his back paw: how we roll our upper half around on a 60-degree incline

Digging his claws into the moss. Speaking from experience, you don't want to be on the business end of those daggers

Back at home, he disappears and switches back to his aloof behaviour, unless you are in the shower. Then he waits until the water is switched off and jumps inside to bite your legs.
He's much more of a wild animal who deigns to live in my house than a pet but he is very loved and he knows it although I can't think of anyone else who would tolerate his weird behaviour. He's been this way since he was a tiny kitten.

Sort:  

He has inherited the independent gene :-)

In spades

And he has such beautiful fur! :D

Yes! He's gorgeous and he knows it

Very interesting cat. Judging by the stripes on the wool, he is clearly a relative of the tiger.

He's my tiny silver tiger

Es hermoso el pelaje de ese gatito. Me atrevo a asegurar que éste lindo gato también adoptó a usted.

Thank you. I definitely belong to him

Beautiful cat!
When you love, you endure everything! :-)))
They can not be not love!

It felt like I was playing 'Where's Wally' in the first photo. hehehe
At first I thought the cat was in between the rock.

Then he waits until the water is switched off and jumps inside to bite your legs.

Ouch!

He is a nut! At least he has chipped his canines so they aren't very sharp
