Having a lot of cats in the house was both exhausting and fun. Exhausting because of how naughty they can get, their mischievousness will not end with just one. They are just such a hardheaded bunch of tigers that it is hard for them to behave well sometimes. There's one who loves to climb up the table while we're eating, and there are some who love to go somewhere that we have to watch out for. You know, having a gate is not useful at all because they can still climb up, no matter how tall the fences are. Seriously, they are a bunch of dorks.
Look at them walking in front of me. It's like they are the one who's guiding me to where the trash bin is. I have to throw out trash in the big bin just 10 steps away from our home every morning, and they love to follow me every day. I'm out at 5:30 a.m., so there's no vehicle yet outside. And they are just walking on the side, so I just let them. tsk, tsk.
But even if they are like that, no doubt they are a happy pill for us. There is this one cat who I particularly like because of how sweet and clingy he can get whenever he needs something, especially if it comes to food. He is so cute and always acts so clingy to me that it always makes me laugh. He doesn't do that much, but gosh, my heart just melts whenever he does that.
It is that little one under the arm of that big cat. By the way, she's not the mother of Barak, but look how sweet they are, lol. It's a perfect picture of a sweet family.
Please excuse his holes and balls, as well as his dirty feet, lol. Just look how carefree he is on someone's shoulder. Like, really, for the love of cat food, he will really do this, lol. I'm not mad, though, in fact, I find it sweet and lovely. He knows how to capture his hooman's heart just by being like this.
He will "meowwww" loudly as if I will understand him. Sometimes I don't get what he wants, really. He does this too, right after just having their meal. Maybe he is thanking me for feeding him. Not sure. And there is also a time when I am just standing and he will get close to me, lean both his arms on my body as if I am a wall, stretch his arms, and "meow" at me.
Sometimes he will follow me around, and I have no choice but to change positions. He will still follow me, and he will just climb up to me, and I have no choice but to catch him. Like, whoa, he really trusts that I will catch him, lol. There are times too that I get a scratch on my neck or my back when he will just suddenly jump up to me. It stings, but it's okay, but if he does it again and again, that's where I will really feel annoyed.
Please excuse my feet, it can kill a dragon, that's why it is this big, lol.
So I will put him down again, but then he has another tactic. He will still follow me and will catch my feet as if they were fish. He will bite my toe nail like he is really trying hard to get my attention. What a clingy cat! Seriously, lol. She also loves to mess with my hair, biting off my ponytail. I'm not sure, maybe that's his other way of demanding something, lol.
Lookie, lookie, I think he treats his life as full of adventures and loves to do things that might hurt him in the process. He just doesn't care as long as he is satisfied. He doesn't care about the world, he loves to have fun and eat and eat and eat, lol. I think he did this too in his past life, because look at how well he climbed up that tree. That's our curious Barak, yeah, lol.
After one adventure, he will look for more. This time, he is looking for something, but he is not sure what that is. I am just following him, or maybe it's him who's following me, I'm not really sure. Watching him is enjoyable too, even though I can't take a good photo of him because of how jumpy he is.
Here's a photo of him playing on his own, lol. All he needs is a piece of paper, plastic, or whatever he can carry, and he will play with it like this. Such a cutie, no? Lol.
Another one is this, lol. Mom can't focus on her game because this little one wants to play with her. But you know cats are super hyperactive, Mom can't ever keep up with him. When Mom couldn't take Barak's naughtiness, he asked for help, saying, "Get Barak in my lap, he is so hyper!"
Then there was this one time when I was tasked with painting the newly built gate in front. I am currently coloring it, so I was really busy, but Barak is also busy messing around with me. I can't count how many times he had climbed up in my bsck just to get my attention. A long nagging from his hooman is not effective for him to listen. And what's worse is that the more I give him attention, the more he will do this. Like seriously. Haha.
His being like this is a combination of annoying and lovable. I will be annoyed at him for his nonstop playtime, but, deep inside my heart, I am the happiest. I didn't even notice that I was already smiling, his cheerful characteristic will be transferred to me. It is chaotic when playing with him, but I was grinning the whole time. He is like that, and humans are really blessed that this kind of pet exists in the world. Just like a dog too. And for sure, those pets of ours also feel happy and blessed that they have us as their fur mom or dad.
And here's a picture I took today. This happens all the time, every day, so my phone is always ready for him, lol. I get another bite from him, again! He loves to bite my ears, my chin and even my fingers, that's why sometimes I get lot of scratch from him.
