How can you love several pets the same, I don't understand. I couldn't love all my kitties the SAME, as they are very individual creatures.
I seem to love the one in front of me the most at anyone time.
As I cuddle a cat, I think about their good points i.e. Why I love them. But when that cat moves and I locate another cat I find my self honestly loving that one the most.
I think we are most aware of our love as we bond with our pets...... that said.
I find my love for my partner and our seven cats, although equally strong, I love each for what they give to me. (Selfish aren't I)
What I Love
George. Probually the most compelling love, the first kitty, my heart covered in fur. Sleeps on my head. Currently making happy feet in my lap. So if you ask for a favourite, it would be Georgie boy.
Milly. The quiet joy when she approaches me for cuddles. The earnest way she slowly makes happy feet, like it is a very important & difficult job.
Milo. How his belly comes out at all times and the way he is so clever. Getting out of a locked cat flap. How he looks at me, like he is in love.
Treacle. Another shy baby. The fact he is living back in the house after months of being outside. For the head bumps and kisses, for being him.
Bramble. For being cheerful even when ill. The tiny meiow that is followed by a tiny bright pink mouth, opening in the midst of dark fur, melts me.
Tigs. For waking me up at 4am, just to talk to me and cuddle. For curling around my neck when you want to nap. Cheeky monkey boy.
Sandy. Our upstairs boy. Shy and timid. Waiting by the backdoor cat flap. Sweet faced and heart melting. The one time you crawled onto my chest whilst I napped, my heart jumped with joy.
