I may chat about my books, what I'm writing or reading, or just general thoughts. You may read posts about my cats or just my crazy life in general. Comments are welcome, if anyone wants to interact with me. Maybe we can share war stories, whether it's writing related or just about life in general.

L is for Lover Eyes



Well I couldn’t let this competition get away without a cat post. 



 "Here I am," Koki says.
 
Koki is the one around here with the lover eyes when I’m on the computer in the evenings.  She usually waits a while and looks at me while perched upon the modem and router combo.  It’s warm up there and she’s small enough to lie there comfortably.



 Naptime

Usually she makes her move way before I’m ready and when I’m right in the middle of a post, or some important email.  Sometimes I can coax her onto my lap until I finish.  She wants to head butt me and nuzzle my face when she looks at me with half-closed eyes.  Her dreamy state makes me what to squeeze her.  She knows it and purrs loudly with contentment.



 To jump or not to jump...
 
She isn’t like this all the time.  This is my little daredevil we’re talking about.  She might be tiny weighing in at about eight pounds, but she’s mighty and will take on anything coming her way.  Koki has a stubborn streak too and let’s me know it.



 "I'm Queen of the hill.  Watch out."
 
Now that she’s almost eleven she doesn’t get in near the trouble she used to, but I can tell the pull of danger is still on her mind.  She walks the banister railing regularly looking at me to see if I’ll scold her.  If I did she’d probably jump for the tile below, so I know better.  She did that in her younger years and broke two teeth that had to be pulled. 



 Shower stall fun
 
She still tries to pull the drainer basket out of the kitchen sink too.  Some of you will remember my post from a few years ago when I woke up to find the drainer basket in bed with me – a present from Koki who probably worked most of the night to get it out of the sink and carry it across the house to the bedroom.  I wish I could have caught her in the act.  That picture would have been priceless.



 "I love boxes!"
 
I’m just glad this little fur ball ended up under my car that day way back in June of 2005 when she was a wee babe that could fit in the palm of my hand.  She’d been hit by a car and had a broken jaw.  I took her to the vet and had her fixed up.  I’m not sure she would have been near as lucky if she hadn’t wandered to my house.




"Hmmm...I wonder what's in here."

She became cat number six in my home.  My hubby knew I’d never let him take her to the animal shelter here.  Some of my older cats have passed away since then and I got a new baby two years a go, so now she’s number two in line around here by age.  But Koki and Raven both push Tootie around.  She’s the oldest cat and won’t scrap back with them.  I think they’re both disappointed by that.  There’s nothing like a good old rumble.

"This is one of my baby pictures before they got to know me.  Don't I look innocent?"

  1. I had a little black and white kitty like that. Her name was Evie and I think she loved me more than any other cat.

    1. mshatch,

      It's funny how cats attach themselves to a person in the house. Koki is definitely my cat and hangs around me a lot when I'm home. Otherwise, she camps put upstairs. She probably remembers me rescuing her and getting her fixed up at the vet.

      Thanks for stopping by my A to Z and leaving a comment.

  3. For a while I had a cat that would just sit at my hip while I was on the computer. She knew better than to try to get me to do anything else then. (Of course, she was older, too.)

    1. Liz,

      How sweet. Somehow cats know when they should disturb you or not.

      Thanks for reading.

  5. Koki reminds me of Blackjack, a cat we had for about 15 years. Same colouring. He was my buddy, since I was feeding lady. . .he used to sit by me and liked to be nuzzled too.

      What a nice story about Blackjack. Cats are so wonderful. All of them show their love in different ways. And they're so tolerant and patient with us humans.

      Thanks for stopping by the A to Z and for your comment.
