Kitty cat blog
Someone recently asked me why me and my sister get along so well. My answer was: because I'm so motherly.
When I was younger, and living in not so nice conditions, I had lost a litter of kittens and it affected me in a major way. Some cats, dogs, and humans are meant to be mamas. I am one of those. When I lived with my sister Vision years ago, I was extremely protective of her. There was a time that the big dog, Mya, that lived with us, accidentally stepped on Vision's tail with her big, huge Husky paw. I was in the next room and heard Vision yowl. As quick as a wink, I was at her side, swiping at Mya's face with my razor sharp claws, ready to do battle though she outweighed me by many pounds. You see, I had no fear at the time. All I knew was that Vision was hurting, and I would do anything to help her. Luckily, we all remained friends after the incident. After Vision went to the Rainbow Bridge, and my human brought little Goober home, it didn't take me much time at all to bond with her, once again becoming big sister, protector, mama cat. As you can see by the above photo, I enjoy washing Goober because she is always sticking her whiskers into places she shouldn't. But it's more than that. I enjoy the closeness, the touch, the love that I can show to a younger cat, trying to teach skills that she may never have learned from her own mother. No, I may not have had my own litter of kittens, but I've been blessed in life to have been like a mother to other cats who may have needed that type of love and affection. I may give off "catitude" on my Facebook page, but in all seriousness, this is a role and responsibility that I take very seriously. If you have such a dog or cat, one that tends toward motherly instincts, count yourself fortunate. After all, there isn't anything like a mother's love.
