My oldest cat is Julius. He is the Alpha Cat of the house, the smallest, thinnest, oldest and most laid back cat of the house (unless he is challenged and has to assert his role of being the patriarch of the cat family). Julius likes his "spots" as we call them. A spot, is a particular spot that he has come to like and will be seen most of the time in his one spot for at least a couple weeks before he finds a new "spot".
Some of his spots over the last couple years have been pretty funny and away from the traditional floor, sill or furniture "spot". One time it was on tp of the computer. Another time is was on the toilet seat. Yet another time was on the second lowest shelf. Yet another time in the clothes hoper (he actually goes to this spot a lot form time to time).
Now, you have to understand that Julius, though his own identiy as a cat, is like many cats - stubborn. He doesn't like to move from his spot unless he is forced to and will often time go right back to it. He protests others who come to his spot - be them feline or human.
His latest spot?
On top of my humidor.
Yep, right there where I go almost daily to at least smell my cigars - if not grab one to smoke. And here is this little bastid, laying down, dropping all over it and of course protesting when I move him so I can get in MY humidor.
Then of course comes the looks as he glares at me until I have closed the humidor lid. His reaction then? Right back on my humidor giving me that lok of "this is MY humidor". I have to laugh and point this out to Melly each and every time and it is so funny, because Julius doesn;t like a lot of attention, so when both of us are just "there" and paying him attention he gets all puffy and leaves, like we did him some injustice.
Quite funny actually and of course in a matter of minutes he is back on top of my humidor yet again - occasionally opening an eye, looking at me as if saying: "this is MY humidor".
I am glad his "spots" last only a couple weeks at a time, I would hate for us good "friends" of pet owner/pet actually have to get in a fight over who's humidor that really is. Sides - I know Melly would probably side with him
Hope you enjoyed the little story! It really is true and I keep hoping that my friend comes over with his digital camera before Julius moves on to another spot - the sight of him perched on my humidor is quite funny.
