Mancat (In Training) Monday: It's All About Balance

Many of you experienced mancats have taught me the importance of balance. While I am the mancat (almost) of the house, it's important to balance my training activities with a bit of sweetness. No matter what I do at night or early in the mornings, I always take the time to snuggle with the humans when they get home from work. The first thing I do when one of them walk in is to run over and start pawing at their legs. Then, they pick me up and cuddle with me. This always makes them forget anything I have done which annoyed them.

On Friday, I curled up in Jen's lap when she got home from work.

I got some chin rubs out of it!

A Confession

I have a confession to make. I talk a lot about what a fierce mancat in training I am, but what I don't talk about is how much I love to cuddle. I even like to be held like a baby. Everyone says to me, "But Tuck, you were feral, how could you be such a lap cat?" I guess I'm just smart. When the humans trapped me and my brothers and sisters to take us to the V-E-T, I noticed that it was warm inside, there was plenty of food and that the humans wanted to pet us. My brothers and sisters hated it, but I thought it was kinda nice. So there you have it, despite all the running, jumping and playing I do, and all my tough talk, I'm really a mush. I hope I haven't ruined my reputation around the CB now...
