You know that I know nothing about cats but . . are all cats outrageously lazy?
Every time I see Cat stretched out on top of my car or curled up in her bed, I tell her . . You are a feral cat! You are supposed to find your own food! You are not supposed to be sleeping on someone’s car or curled up in a bed 24/7.
No wonder she doesn’t like me . . I wouldn’t like someone who told me that kind of stuff either.
There she sits! Her cat tree to her right, her comfy bed on a bale of straw. She has to be old. It looks like she’s getting gray around her face. I’m not wishing her any bad luck but we’re kinda stuck here til she’s gone because I can’t move off and leave an animal behind and for sure we can’t take her. So . . do I get to spend more time with my granddaughter or do I stay in Texas because of a cat that doesn’t even like me? Yes . . that’s what I’m thinking but really, I couldn’t leave her. We’ve halfway domesticated her and that would not be right to move off and leave her and who knows how long it would be that our house would sit empty before it sells and who knows if the owners would even want to deal with a cat who thinks she owns the place.
Vince was with me when we were outside yesterday so she was somewhat more comfortable with us being about 6 feet from her. If I’d been by myself, she would have taken off long before I got that close.
She’s a funny cat. She can’t get enough loving from Vince but only first thing in the morning. After that, he can’t touch her. She doesn’t hiss at him nearly as much as she hisses at me but she does still hiss at him some.

Cat seems pretty normal. They sleep most of the day, and affection is only given when they want and to whom they want. Our cat used to want lots of love from the first person home from work at the end of the day – but only for about 15 minutes. After that we just seemed to annoy him. 🙂

Yes, all cats are that lazy! 🙂 You’ve helped Cat become lazier because she doesn’t need to spend time finding her own food. What really surprises me is that Vince is allowed to touch her at one point, then not at another.. And the fact that she won’t let you near her at all is double strange.
We have a couple of feral cats that like to live under our back porch, but all either of us has to do is look out the window at them and they’re off into the woods. I’ve tried talking to them, but they want nothing to do with us. They’ve been around for years and it’s not gotten one bit better than it was when they were little. Vince should consider himself lucky to get as close as he is to it – ever!

She is a typical cat! They can be the most aloof animals I have ever seen! They want you around but only on their terms!

Yes, they all sleep a lot and are pretty lazy, except when they are running around like insane creatures. I remember when she liked you.
