I love this cat
I love this cat he followed my car for a half mile and taps on the fire place when he wants in. I have never had cats just dogs. A long story short I had a little mice problem and could not stand the traps so my husband said we need to get a mouser. I thought he would hate me and I him, but I got a cat off of craigs list.
After 4 years he is the love of my life. Also I never knew until I talked to a friend what cat behavior is like. The strangest thing that happened was that I was driving down the road and stopped at a light and some guy taps on my window and says is this your cat. He said it was the damdest thing he had ever seen but he was following my car.
He also taps on the fireplace when he is cold and the same thing with the covers. He is an indoor cat but in the spring he gardens with me and comes running To his name (for me anyway). My husband took him to stay with his mom for the weekend. I will not leave him alone but he got away from him in downtown Minneapolis. He calls me and said he was sorry.
We could put up flyers and he had looked for him for an hour, and held me and said he was sorry but he did not think we would be able to find him (no collar) because it had come off in my husbands hand when he tried to grab him. I love this cat so I drove there from saint paul and am waking around saying, baby keeks where are you.
After 30 minutes of me searching I hear meuwwwwwww, and there he is locked behind a gate I can not get to. So I had to hope he stayed. I ran all the way back to a condos lock door (it was a gated community) and buzzes security to ask him to let me in. He had to come all the way to the door I was at. Then we ran to the locked gated, keke was gone but the man opened the gate for me where I saw him. I called and called him then he jumped in my arms.
One more thing, over 4 years has brought me 26 mice. He does not kill them, just comes up to the bedroom and yells that maaaawwwwww. I turn on the light and follow him down stairs and I let them go again in another yard, so least they have a shot. But Christmas time he did the maaawwww thing twice in one evening and he had a Green fake from his stocking, he does not play with toys usually at all. I guess just A gift. Sorry about the typing I am on a nook. I love this cat - Rhonda
