I noticed cat hair around the house as I swept the floor. I remembered that cats and dogs shed hair when it’s hot. I borrowed my niece’s cat brush for a minute.
At first Tuxedo battled me and the brush. She threw the brush around with her feet and tried to bite me. I persisted and soon she started to calm down and enjoy being brushed.
The other day she walked over and laid down all over my laptop. She’s never done this before. I guessed that she wanted more brushing. I took her off the laptop and brushed her. Her tail went wild with happiness.
Tuxedo laid down on the laptop one more time for a brushing. I guess you might wonder why she does that. I sometimes become consumed with my writing and work with a passion to get my ideas down on paper. She notices that and reacts in a manner that works for her. Sit smack dab on the laptop and get my attention. It works for both of us. I need to be taken away from working all the time. She deserves more time than I have been giving her lately. So when she wants attention, I give it to her willingly.
So I have a new Tuxedo. One that loves to be brushed and one with less hair to shed around the house like tumbleweeds.
