I like being at home and hanging with the Dodo. This morning, I was singing to myself and suddenly, he was before me, meowing looking up at me. I bent down and petted him, still singing, and he wauled along. Just now, I was IMing with my childhood friend Sandy, talking about our cats the way other adults talk about their children.
Sandy: he’s [Dodo] the only cat i know that talks..
Sandy: and a lot…
Me: all cats talk.
Sandy: meowmeowmeowmeowmeow…
Sandy: very very cute…
Sandy: no Marsh is a mime
Me: I’ve heard him talk.
Sandy: barely.
Me: my cat likes to talk to me.
Me: and he sings with me, too.
Sandy: lol
Sandy: mine just looks at me like I’m stupid
Me: mine found a new corner to tuck himself away in.
Me: now he’s hanging out between the la-z-boy and the couch.
Sandy: he’s sleepy.. cat nap time
Me: wonder when he started doing htat.
Sandy: well.. he knows where it’s comfortalbe
Me: it is a cozy little corner.
I turned and watched my little furry boy affectionately.
Me: he’s dreaming.
Me: his paw’s twitching.
Sandy: lol.. how cute
Me: he looks like he’s doing calculations on an abacus.
Sandy: LOL…
Sandy: only you will say he’s doing colculations on an abacus
Sandy: i’d say.. he’s chasing a mouse?
Me: oh, haha.
Me: that’s true.
Dodo is a talker! It was great to walk into your home and me greeted with tons of “ow.” He is a special cat, indeed!
He’s a special cat with no idea of his online popularity.
Dodo’s brother, Dozer, is a huge talker. He has long conversations. We talk about polemics, art, all sorts of things. He has strong opinions.
I don’t know what polemics are, but that doesn’t mean that Dodo didn’t bring it up and talk about it. I confess I sometimes tune him out as he repeats himself quite a bit, too.
I think Dodo’s opinions are quite forgiving, but he shows his occasional stubborn streak, too.
