playful – Sir Socks Le Chat

For kittens and those cats who remain playful as adults, having a playmate is a good thing. I didn’t mind playing so much when I was a kitten. It was how my brothers and I learned how to fight and how to play without hurting each other. It can be a good way to deal with tensions with other cats without killing each other. Just a playful way of letting others know you’re a bit annoyed, but won’t actually attack and cause harm.

I know I enjoyed having Spot around after I had gotten used to him. We used to play and wrestle to my girl’s delight. She found it entertaining because we didn’t hurt each other. If things had gotten to the point of screaming, she would have gotten involved and separated us. She never tolerated that. I can’t say I blame her that.

In case many of you humans didn’t notice, we cats do have different personalities. We’re not all identical just as you are not. Some of us, like me, are curmudgeons. Some are super sweet, as Isis and Nuri are. Some are playful, like Spot. Others hyper, as Nuri gets at times. Some are quite laid back, as I am.

Until you get to know us, you may not know what we are really like. For example, I was always good about asking for food and water. And of course demanding my litter box be cleaned out once a day. Spot, on the other hand, would never ask for such things. Instead, he’d get mad that it wasn’t done and knock things onto the floor. When that didn’t work, he finally went over to my girl and asked for food.

Even Nuri doesn’t complain if my girl forgets to clean out the litter box. I don’t understand that. I know my girl has had some trouble remembering due to a concussion and post-concussion or just being distracted by something else. But you’d think Nuri would say something to get my girl’s attention on this matter.

Well, that’s just how it is. We’re all different, yet we’re all cats. We at least have a few things in common with each other. Just remember that we have different personalities and you should be able to get along with us all.
