I found one thing special with this animal. I travelled for school in the southern part of Nigeria to come back home after 7 years to find a cat in my home.
I ask the question of who the cat is, I got a response it's just a home pet that scares away rat. There is a significant change in the home after I noticed the rats that were in my house went away parking after the entry of the cat.
The cat is a very good pet to keep at home. It has some characteristics of human nature in it. I discovered personally the following;
When ever I cook, it always come crying for food as if it is hungry.
Immediately I will take it's dirty plate without even washing them and put food for the cat. She knows the plate wasn't washed she wouldn't bother to eat the food.
If you like leave it there till the next day, you will come back to meet the food as she will not even go near the plate for that day. She prefers to be straved of food than to eat from an unwashed plate.
She likes hunting
My cat is always fond of moving at the speed of light when ever she comes across a prey. She will immediately leave to hunt the prey. Before hunting out the pray she will use tricks such as laying down asleep whilst carefully watching the prey. Once the prey looses attention in her. She will immediately pounce on the prey an bite it. It seems they have thier own poisonous substance that once it bits a prey, the prey will be weak and stiffy. Then she can now feed on it.
She is the first to eat.
She doesn't sleep in the same house with me. She has her room outside. Where she is the first to wake up. Immediately she is awoken, she comes to the entrance of the house and wait patiently for the door to be open. Once the door is opened, she is the first to step in. Guess where she is going to?
She heads straight to the place where her plates are been kept to see if there is any available food for her. As if she slept hungry. Immediately she noticed there is no food, she begins to make some funny sound of hungry. Staring at everyone at home and looking at her plates at same time.
She is wise
My cat started this kind of funny attitude of always sleeping during the day in the siting room on people's clothes. The first time I saw it I was upset, I instructed it to go of to it's place it refused and I got a whip for it. It immediately jump and zoomed off. Later in the day it came back to sleep on that same place and I got the same whip and flog it's ass.
It stood up and ran away. But I notice that after that day, it never comes to the sitting room to sleep on chair again.
Hence it stays on the iron presser to sleep. I use the iron presser to read my books and the cat is aware of that fact. It noticed that since I chased her out of the sitting room the next place to go to is the iron presser. Because I hardly sit in the sitting room.
Always concious of food
When ever the cat perceives aroma of meal, it will hover around the place as if it's an helicopter that ran out of fuel in mid air.
She will stare at you hungrily as if she hasn't eaten for 10 years. It is usually fed three times a day. But it doesn't feel satisfied at any.
Conclusion
These were the funny experiences I have had with my cat. She is cool, smart and understanding in nature. She is the best pet anyone will love to keep around.
