Nice to meet you; I’m Simba. |
It’s funny how things change…
If you would have asked our fam a few months/years ago whether we were “dog people” or “cat people” we wouldn’t have even considered answering the latter (even though my dad had a kitty when he was little).
In fact, friends would show me pictures of their beautiful cats, or I would watch cat videos and “LOL Cats” memes online and I’d think they were cute, but instinctively, I always thought people were just crazy about cats without good reason. Since I grew up with dogs, I didn’t know anything about cats.
That was until the little fluffball, pictured above, that we now call Simba joined our family of three humans, two doggies and one goldfishie.
Suddenly, I’m not going to bed every night b/c I’m sleepy or able to finally get some rest, oh no! I’m going to bed because Simba tells me to come to bed–regardless of whether I’d like to get a few more emails out or any more tasks done. (Yes my bed has now become his.) At least he lets me read a bit before actually going to sleep! I’m now also the only one in our family he’ll ask (at least most of the time) for food, hugs, attention, getting his fur brushed, and a cleaner litter box.
My future Prince Charming might get jealous.
