'Almost looks like a stuffed animal, doesn't he? Being a lap cat isn't enough for Ani... he wants your undivided attention. Thus this picture of him plopping himself down on my keyboard because my fingers were on the keys instead of giving him a tummy rub. He seems to want to be where people are and in the middle of all the activity. And Ani will sit contentedly next to Dana while she plays or reads. He's even trying to schmooze up to Alex. More like a dog than a cat really. Not many cats answer and come when you call them.Today we got him a baby blue collar and an ID tag. He must have never worn a collar before because he kept trying to get at it (and the little blue bell) and was flopping all over his furry self in the process.
The other night I was trying to read while I waited for the kids to fall asleep and Ani kept pawing at the book. Finally giving up on getting any reading done I ran my fingers along the pages to make them flip and fan his whiskers... and he found this absolutely fascinating. Over and over again. One would think he was autistic. I put the book down to see what he would do. He looked at me and pawed at my hand, pushing it towards the book. Ok, more page flipping! After three more times, I put the book down again and sat up and away from it. Ani looked at the book, put his paw on the cover and looked up... then began waving at me! He's a clever little thing!
