ATTITUDE

This is CC, our beloved baby cat. My partner N got her when she was still a baby from a friend who saves cats from the streets of Melbourne. The mother cat whose lineage we don't know, had three kittens at that time. In short CC is a moggie. At first, N liked the tortoiseshell kitten. The kitten which was later on called CC has grayish with snow white underlay. What distinguishes her from the others was her possessive attitude - a personality... and the diamond mark in betwen her eyes - She definitely got the look ! But CC chosed N and took his attention away by meowing and meowing until N said "oh poor little pussy... do u like to come with me?" .... So there goes the pretty story of our furry cat who was later on lovingly called CC after CC Babcock from the movie Beaches (Bette Midler). She is a bit of a Feral cat, and yet very smart. She could be loving and purring away like a princess. But definitely she's full of attitude. We have a dog before named Riss and she took CC as her baby too. (Now this reminds you of the movie Beaches, two people from completely different worlds, different sides of the coin but became close friends for life. Now what we got is a dog and a cat. They got along very well like best of friends and they even slept together like mother and daughter. Whenever we gave Riss her bath, CC usually stood by and watched her on the tub, like a child to a mother. But dare not CC go in the tub. She would just scamper away like lightning. So CC was raised by a German Shepherd named Riss (she passed away of old age last year and I'm gonna write something special about her later). Funny, she is acting like a dog sometimes. Now that Riss is gone, she normally sits on the doorway waiting for us to arrive, just like a loyal guard dog. Yes, she is a not only a cat with attitude, she is also a cat with an identity crisis ! On her own, she loves just lazing away in the garden especially at summertime...watching the birds, butterflies and flowers. Instinctively, she is a wonderful cat who just loves beautiful things and stuff. No, not for food... just enjoying them. One time, she caught a baby bird and brought the poor birdie inside the house... at first she was playing hide and seek with the birdie like an older sister .... but later on, I was just wondering what happened to the poor little bird. And oh, she is definitely raised well by two gay guys. Just observe how fat she has become. She only eats Pedigree. What a cat....Now that Riss is gone, she lovingly chooses to be in between N's legs when she goes to sleep at night. No wonder we don't get enough sleep sometimes! But she is our baby.... cat ! She got the attitude, the dramatics (that she definitely got from moi), the pride and the preening habits normal to cats, but very very dazzling in CC's character! And yes, I caught her one time, running on the hallway like a horse, funny cat!
