My feline companion
We came back to Arizona in 2018. There were two cats living here. when we arrived. Roxie, a Siamese cat, was one of the cats. She slept in a cooking pot in the kitchen cabinets. She was attracted to me, and started sleeping between my feet in bed. She started staying in my bedroom most of the time.
Cats are unsanitary, and although I didn’t want to be exposed, I tolerated her.
She cuddles next to me, she bites me, she lashes out with her front paws. and taps me on the shoulders when she wants attention. She licks my hand, when I touch her front paw. Her ears and her back feet are cold. She likes her cold back feet held, when she cuddles. She makes eye contact, but it is limited. She makes vocal sounds, when she is happy. When I make the bed, she follows me around the bed, making vocal sounds. She gets the urge to bite then.
I go to bed around 10 PM. Roxie knows when it is 10 PM. She leaves my room to go to take care of her needs around 10 PM. We have a “scratcher” in my room, which both cats use. She avoids the other cat, and likes my protection, when he comes into my room. She gets out of the way, when my wife puts drops in my eyes.
If I put my hands underneath the sheets, she will attack any motion under the sheets.
When I eat in the kitchen, she stops by and makes her presence known.
When I go to the bathroom, she knows where I’m at, and comes in quite often.
She isn’t afraid to show the other cat that she will stand up to him. She spends time in the window sill in the daytime. She warms up in the window sill.
