I have decided I would like a cat.
Specifically, this cat.
I have tried everything to make this friendship happen. I have been studying Mom very closely. She walks up to the cat, gently pets him, and he likes it. Revolutionary.
So naturally, I tried the same technique.
I carefully approached… lifted my paw… and gave him a nice, loving pat.
He did not like it.
In fact, he acted like I had committed some sort of offense?? Sir, I am PETTING you. This is how friendship works.
I even tried again and again, and he still gave me that look. You know the one. The “absolutely not” look.
At this point, I’m starting to think there are different rules for me.
I remain committed to this relationship, but the cat is making it very difficult to reach his level.
I don’t understand cats. 🐈⬛ 🐶
