In the beginning Mark and the cats didn’t care for each other at all! This includes Zoe, Dusty, Rusty and Chloe. Then one day, Sylvester appeared coming out of the woods in the back yard. Smokey appeared some time later at the front of the house. And now for some reason, Smokey and Sylvester gets up on the couch with Mark. Mark pets them, and they love it.
It doesn’t make much sense to me, since I’m the caregiver and provider. Ha ha.
Leah: I was not much of a “cat person” either until Kali brought a cat into our life, but now I like them. It’s so weird about the affection demonstration–I’m the primary caregiver in our household, but do the cats show preferential affection toward me? Of course not! I guess they just consider me the “maid.”
Cats are funny that way. Hard to explain their preferences, because often they are inexplicable.
Scott — That is the way it seems to go!
Robin — You’re right about that!
