When Your Pet Cheats On You

[Freedom]

OHyeah, Dad has "stolen" two of my cats!

Vita and Crystal both LOVE Dad. Prior to Crystal's arrival, Vita would snuggle up with Dad, and ignore me. Crystal refuses to share Dad with anyone, so now Vita acts "homeless" sometimes, moping in Dad's room, looking at him lying in the bed (with Crystal) and sighing. Does she return to MY bed, where she slept snuggled next to ME for 5 years prior to his arrival? Oh no!

Crystal was GIVEN TO ME. You'd never know it, she hisses and swats at me; I am just the slave who feeds her and keeps her box clean. She is Dad's cat all the way!

I'm happy to say that I have not had a cat prefer someone else yet, but Micky, the Ginger cat who lives across the road from me upsets his parents sometimes. They think he is their cat, but he spends an awful lot of time over here. He always seems to prefer my cats' food to his own. I think he just likes the feeling of taking what is not his.
