Fetch It, Kitty!
Did I tell you we bought a cat?
Rescued a cat, really.
Well, deep down, I wanted a dog...but a cat is so much easier and requires very little attention and responsibility.
I should have known she was different when the people at the shelter were kinda happy to see her go.....when I was walking out they said 'oh, so-and-so, look who she's taking home!' Ms. so-and-so replied 'It's the talker!'
Yes, my cat is a little chatty....but that's not the coolest thing about her.
She has learned how to fetch.
Jeff went to throw away a piece of tightly folded up paper one day and missed the trash can.
Squeaks (given that name for her awkward attempts at a 'meow') darted after the paper ball and swatted it around for a few minutes.
When she got bored with it she took it in her mouth and brought it back to Jeff.....who threw it again.
The rest is history.
Now she'll actually bring the ball to you and play fetch for about twenty minutes before she breaks into a full-on pant....that's right, my cat pants.
Full-on, tongue hanging out of her mouth, panting.
It's the funniest thing you've ever seen!
I love my little Dog-Cat!!!
