I Love Cats

No matter how naughty a cat is, you can’t help but love ‘em!

We have a wonderful kitty – Come Again The Rigging Cat.  She’s getting elderly and a little long in the tooth now, but she still has moments of acting like the kitten she once was. 

Come Again The Rigging Cat used to spend her days with us at work and for a time she had her own business cards and reputation as a good rigger (!) 

Come Again usually has her own chair, beds, couch, counter, and private places everywhere to hang out!

As the years passed, more employees came to work with us and the number of customers increased . . .which served to only upset her quiet days that she had enjoyed laying on the front shop counter.

So, now Come Again is retired.  She enjoys the sun, skips out the front door the moment we come home from work, chases the evil white poodles who are always crapping in front of her, and sleeps a lot.  Sleeping, eating, and going to the bathroom…she’s excelled in those skills.

We love her and we think she probably appreciates us.  But, being cat, she never lets on about her true feelings except that her purrs and nuzzles give us a little clue.

A year ago the vet had to remove a bunch of her teeth.  It was a hell of an ordeal for Come Again – taking her almost a month to get through the pain of it all.  Today she is missing a front fang that used to hold her tongue back.  So, now she flicks her tongue out a lot when she’s tired or cranky. 

Bottom line is that we know our kitty won’t be with us for that many more years.  So, sometimes when I’m petting her, I give her a couple of extra hugs for the future days that I won’t have that chance.
