Empaths n Animals: Cats

Smokey will go for walks with me like a dog [next time I will take my camera and get some pics]

Walk to the mail box and back or to a neighbours and will wait for me outside the door until I come back out If he is outside and I come out he will sit with me if i sit outside on a bench . At one time it was him and his brother that would both follow me [someone scooped bandit] I could step outside and call them and they would come running then follow me where ever I went both walking right beside me I stop they stop, the neighbours used to get quite a kick out of it saying how strange it was to see. 

Bandit really liked kisses on the top of his head and when holding him if I said want kisses he would butt his head against my chin until I gave him kisses, he was very particular about how he was held he liked to get up and curl into my arms with his head nestled in the crook of my elbow

Most of my cat children loved to be held and many liked laying on their backs outstretched all comfy cozy [and expecting me to continue whatever it is I am doing while they sleep]and each one had some other unusual habit that people would comment on. 

One other thing Both Smokey and Bandit would do [smokey still does] is pilfer beads from my bead drawers like the one here in the picture with Smokey] they stick their paw into the finger hole and pull out a bead play with it then when they lose it under something they will get another one and they have an uncanny ability to dig out my elastic string. I would find it on the floor and hide it in something and they would find it the buggers.

Before Smokey n Bandit there was Leopold and Skittles [Skittles passed last year after 14 years] many came and went [read got scooped or something I would rather not think of] but that is part of life yes.

Skittles was a talker he would talk n talk and talk if you scolded him he would talk back and o.m.g, if we went away for a few days, when we came back he would be in a real mood and would give us royal shit or the silent treatment then the back talk. 

Before Leopold and Skittles there was Leo the Leaper and Rufus. 

Leo the Leaper was so named because he could catch flies, bees, n hornets, right out of the air, catching them in his teeth, I kept watching wondering when he would get stung doing this but nope he never did.

Rufus thought he was a dog for sure [and who knows maybe he was in a past life] Rufus would growl at the door when someone knocked or if he heard someone outside he would stand and stare at the door growling.

He also played fetch, I could throw a ball or piece of paper and he would go get it then bring it back.

Many dollars were made betting people he would fetch something if they threw it ;-). Someday I would like to create a picture book, I have a couple of children's books in mind we shall see.
