Cat Person

Why the cat? Don't ask me.. I love cats. I can tolerate a dog.

Lots of my neighbors did have a dog and I did have a good repo with them. I remember once when I was standing on terrace of our building and musing over the hardships of life as a teen, something came and hugged me from the back :-O I was just short of falling off the terrace and ending my hardships!! The something turned out to be our dear neighbors bitch Tiffy. Man! she gave fright of my life. No wonder later on I always avoided petting Tiffy, fearing her enthusiastic ways of greeting me.

Cats are better, we had quite a few as pets. As our nearly in jungle quarter was infested with scorpions and snakes of all kinds. Cats have a very non-indulgent way of greeting. They just purr when you pass by to recognize your arrival. Licking and drooling is a strict no-no. Which I like the most. But my cat had some weird habits, the moment I sat anywhere in his vicinity, with lightening bolt agility he would jump into my lap, and refuse to get out any cost :-)

Maukie is definitely in fond remembrance of all our cats. I just wish that she had been a little smaller in size and could have actually run around the mouse... :-)
