Just Pass Me By

Otis, is jumpy today. My husband and I where talking, having a tense conversation. Otis went to walk by him, hubby moved his foot just repositioning and the cat jump and did the hunch back with hair sticking up. Otis has always been leery of men, so maybe the tension in the room made him nervous. I am wondering if his abusers where male or something, he sure don’t seem to trust them. I know my husband would never do anything to harm the cat, and my husband knows if he were he’d sign a death wish.
Otis is getting old, but boy is he sassy. Today we came home and I went straight to the office. He followed me in there. After a few minutes of the meowing and pawing at me. So I tried petting him, then he runs under my keyboard, so I decided to start working on homework. Wow I saying homework in every post lately. Otis came back to me after a couple of minutes and did, his annoying meow, the one that’s pay attention to me but I am going to make you have to work to give me attention. Isn’t it amazing cats want attention and they think you gotta earn petting them. Well I got him after a few minutes of his meowing and pawing my legs I figured I was going no where fast with studying. So I pulled him up in my lap and hugged him, and nuzzled with him for a few minutes. Then he laid in my lap for about 3 pages of reading and decided he had to dig his back paw in my knee while jumping down.
I have got to find my fake pearls I used to put on his tail loosely and let him chase it around in circles it funny to watch him. Like he trying to figure out what’s attached to his butt, and then he runs in a circle.. I know mean, I don’t do it to often.
Speaking of pearls, I would love to get a bracelet of freshwater pearls for special occassions.
