Grand illusions

Do ya see one 'f my barn helpers here? She'd a lovely Siamese who 'ppears to be wishin' a belly rub. I double dare ya! 've spent the last 3 years tryin' to win her 'ffections 'n whilst I feel'm close, uhm, no. She'll rip yer flesh right off'a yer hands/arms'n whate'er else she can latch 'nto. Yep, one'f the many ferals who reside'n my place. Kinda like folks. They give the illusion 'f wishin' to befriend 'n then 'ttack the mere second ya disagree with their ideologies. Ne'er their fault, mind'ja. They'll swear such 'twas provoked. They've Youtube videos fer the younger generation, e'en classes ya can take. Fer what? Ya know, the 'basics' they didn't learn 't home. 'mportant schtuff. Like how to open a bottle 'f champagne proper. Which leaves me wonderin' how many eyes've been injured doin' such a task. I wonder how many'd tune'n fer mutual respect? Compassion?

There is something extra special about a barn cat that is so beautiful but so unsocial and a bit wild. I can respect someone's need for privacy and leave them be.

This is a beautiful cat. I have learnt that cats hate belly rub, they show you your belly, but do not dare to touch their belly. Better to aim a wall when you open a Champagne bottle, never your face or another person.

@crazyhorseladycx Cats have all a different personality, the orange tabby of my closest neighbor is a sweet cat and you can even rub his belly, he is always festive and happy. The others had a black female kitty who followed you everywhere, she rubbed against your legs, but if you dared touching her she bite... better to know a cat before touching. In France a Champagne bottle should be opened with a sword, sabre in French, in fact they say "sabrer le Champagne"

we'd one out here who'd follow me all o'er, e'en jump 'top my shoulder whilst i 'twas weed eatin'. he loved belly rubs. this'un though ya can't e'en pet. she'll rub 'gainst yer legs, e'en jump'n yer lap if'n yer sittin'. jest don't touch her, lol. one'd think those younger folks'd seen 'nough movies 'nvolvin' the openin' 'f such they'd not need classes fer basic logic, eh?

Shes a lovely girl. I have had a few like that. I think they are saying I appreciate what you do for me. But I just cant be a cuddly love bug. Youtube has become a problem with anything being allowed on there. Sadly they would not watch to learn respect or compassion.

@crazyhorseladycx Pretty started taming down like that. When she was rubbing on me I would just drop my hand down in her reach, She started rubbing on it and then over time I started slowly moving my fingers then my whole hand. As you know she is a love bug pain now. Yep they learn that they will get goodies. You know I never thought about that. Maybe the same people programmed netflix too. I am often looking at the because you watched this line going Hunh and scratching my head.

she's a cutie fer certain. who knows, one day she might change? such happened with resident kitty. 'tis soooo temptin' to pet her, 'specially when she jumps'n my lap out'n the back porch.... she's out there now, harrassin' the birds. the latter 'f which wish't'd start drizzlin' 'gain so they could eat. these're ground feeders who rarely visit a hangin' feeder, bless 'em. humans're jest odd.

My daughter has champagne for the girls standing up at her wedding the day they were getting their dresses in. I guess it's was the actual wedding day now that I think about it. No one in r the room knew how to open it properly so one of the girls opened the back door and held the bottle away so as not to get anyone hurt. It worked. I don't get people sometimes especially those that double date is to get closer so they can tear us apart. I like your analogy and think it's apropo. Morning Ms crazy. Do you have a nickname I can call you rather than that?

@crazyhorseladycx That is interesting I did not think she was a Siamese. I guess Siamese come in different colors. I babysat for some simamese and they were very scary. When I was getting my haircut at my hairdressers mother's home she had a simemese. The cat came right by me and I believe looked through my soul and then she saw I was ok. I had a cat so she liked me and let me pet her. I hope you two become friends soon.

@crazyhorseladycx Simese are different kinds of cats. There was a gray cat that I used to feed where I lived before and he used to walk me to my door but not want to come him. I liked him very much. Yes, cats come in all colors and sizes.
