All about Wisp (our cat)
Oct. 20th, 2018 10:35 am We love our cat. So I am putting up all the best pictures of Wip.
Wisp is called wisp because when we got him he was just a little wisp of a thing, and he had funny wispy hair.
He fit into a solo cup, and on our little scale for our biology class he only weight 560 grams.
He was always falling asleep in silly positions.
He still sleeps in weird positions.
He is a clever boi! He can open drawers. and he goes potty in the toilet. He knows how to come and sit, and of course he knows his name. We give him breakfast in different boxes with holes so he doesn't get bored and so he doesn't eat too fast. Thats what they do at zoos for the more clever animals, give them their good in a puzzle box. We always have to change the puzzle boxes too, cause they get too easy after a few times. Dinner is canned food, so he just gets dinner in a bowl. Dinner is his favorite word. THe drawer he is opening is the drawer to where his cans are. He can't get into the cans, but he looks at them an awful lot.
He knows how to have a tea party.
He wears costumes. This is his costume for Halloween this year. He is getting used to the hat. He doesn't like it much, but he is a good boi and wears it anyway.
He loves the snow.
He loves chalk drawings in the summer.
He goes to dog bars, and he has dog friends, and sometimes our other friend brings their cat to play, but he likes dogs better. He tolerates that cat in his house, but he mostly watches her and growls at her when she pounces on his tail. He is too sweet to fight though. he just lets the kitten pounce on him, even if he doesn't like it.
He is a good boi and a sweet boi, and I just made him yawn. Hahaha. I looked up and he was looking at me, so I said nice things to him and then I yawned and he did too, and now he is wandering around talking to us. He makes little meows if you talk to him.
People always like dogs, maybe cause they don't really understand cats, and cause dogs are so easy. Cats just have a different way of talking. If they make eye contact with you it is a challenge. You should never let a cat win a staring contest. They will think they can bully you for food or whatever it is they want. Our cat sometimes bullies us to be picked up, even though we carry him around all the time. He likes laying across people's shoulders and being high up.
Cats like to talk. If they are in a bad mood their meows sound sad. Sometimes you can talk them into a good mood by making happy sounding cat noises back at them. Cats like to play too, but sometimes they play rough. Our cat like to play hide and pounce, and chase. As long as he is being played with a little every day, he is a happy boi and doesn't do bad things to get attention. When we are busy, we sometimes don't play with him enough, and he knows exactly what to do to get attention. He threatens to claw the carpet and the furniture, he gets on the counter even though he knows he isn't supposed to, and he knocks things onto the floor.
Cats are just like anybody. They need attention, they get bored, they feel neglected, they get into bad moods, and sometimes they need help getting out of their bad moods. Unlike dogs, cats will not just accept bad behavior and keep loving you anyway. Maybe thats why I like cats. They don't put up with things like dogs do, they will hold grudges and plot revenge. But when you have a good relationship with your cat, they are happy, and snuggly and kind. Having a cat is like agreeing to live with a tiny wild animal in your house. You have to be a good zoo keeper if you are going to live in harmony. You have to be a good listener. Cats make you work for it. I respect that. I am glad Wisp likes living here. He is a happy snuggly boi, and even though he runs off sometimes to chase the neighbor girl cats, he always comes home, cause he likes it here, and that makes me really happy. I think he feels loved.
