My good old friend is happy as can possibly be. He is the only cat in the house these days and I’m pretty sure he likes it that way. When he’s totally at peace and comfortable with his surroundings, he’ll lay on his back like this. He’s actually been with me longer than my wife! He’s been everything from the only cat in the house to one of 10 at times! Weasel (his name) has some pretty strange habits though. He like the smell of my breath right after I wake up in the morning. He’ll run up to my face and sniff my mouth as close as possible. He doesn’t like it after I’ve brushed my teeth though (nasty huh?). He also MUST have someone walk him to his food bowl in the kitchen. He won’t just stroll over there himself. He’ll even stop eating to look back and make sure you’re still there. If not, he’ll go and find you to complain. Weasel won’t drink out of a water bowl or anything -he has to have his water straight from the faucet. If anyone is going to the bathroom, he’ll run in with you and whine until you turn on the faucet so he can drink from the trickle that comes out. He likes to catch birds our mice and bring them into the house to show me. After he knows I’ve seen it, he’ll take it into the bathroom to eat it completely -bones and all! What a strange fellow! But he’s my boy.
