kyra_ojosverdesIt's been brought to my attention that I don't post much about Jack. This is mostly because Jack is a very polite, self-possessed and dignified cat.
Jack does not wake us in the morning when he wants food. He waits until we're up and about, then stands at the top of the stairs and meows that one of the kids should follow him. (He doesn't bother asking me to remedy his food/water/litter issues unless none of the kids show signs of getting out of bed. He also doesn't curl up to sleep with me unless none of the kids are in bed.) Once downstairs he'll lead his chosen attendant to his food and water or to his litterbox and meow that the situation should be improved please.
He'll occasionally play with a toy, but only until he notices you watching. He'll then sit up straight, in "dignified adult cat" posture, and give you the look which means "Why, the very idea that I'd act like a kitten! You insult me!"
He's not a lap cat. Once in a while he'll walk up and rub my chair and legs with his paws and ask to be picked up. He's gone again within five minutes. He'll cuddle up against someone's side, but the lap is a very time-limited thing.
So, yes. We have a cat and it is good. We love our Jack.
And with that, I'm off to the library to get my three I.L.L. books, and to the grocery store for "we got flu" supplies.
