Diva or Frat Boy?
Animals have made their appearance in the blog for some time, so I figured it was time to introduce the world to Miss. Lulu Bella Vamp. She is aptly named as she is a small cat, full of vim and vinegar and herself. Her insistence on trying to nibble my neck prompted her middle and last names, but the other meaning of vamp also applies.
Miss Lulu makes it to this blog today because of her dining habits. Like her adopted mom (me), she likes a wide variety of culinary adventures. Some favorites: black olives, red onion, smoked salmon, berries and yogurt, preferably not all at the same time. We have attributed some of her unique tastes to the fact that she was born and subsequently rescued from above a Subway Sandwich shop. So, more than likely her first real meal was atypical. However, what most puzzles us about Lu’s dining is not what she eats, but how she eats. Of course, she is a cat so, she will paw at things, beg for things, meow for things. Some times if she’s particularly annoyed, she shifts back and forth lifting her little back feet while shaking her tale like a rattlesnake. We’ve come to understand this means: “I’m angry at you.” But it’s so amusing it cannot possibly be taken seriously. She will at times eat like a cat… but more often she eats like ... a squirrel. Sitting proper, she will lift a single piece of kibble in her two front paws and nibble. Some times, this is done with just one paw. But the most intriguing is when she picks up the kibble, tosses it in the air and then tries to catch it to eat it. I’ve never seen a cat do this, and she is surprisingly very good at it. I’ve mixed feelings about this. As on the one hand, it IS amusing. On the other hand, I don’t want to live with tiny female cat that eats like a frat boy. If you have a cat story, we'd love to hear about it. Or come check out one of our many, many books about cats at the Library!
