We have acquired 6 cats over the past few years, and two of
the cats’ easily stand out from the others because one is all black and the
other is all white. The two are as different as black and white. They are Yin
and Yang.
Inky Black is a standoff cat. She stays by herself and will
not tolerate the other cats bothering her. She will back down the other cats when needed.
Betty White is laid back, she likes being with the dog and the other cats. She
will come up and use you as a place to nap. She is a cuddler.
At night all the cats have their own place they nest. Inky
likes my sock drawer, and Betty likes the clothes stack my wife lays out for
work for the next day. I do not mind socks with black cat hair on them and my
wife says that almost everything looks better with cat hair on it. She is a
forest ranger and the bears and cougars do not care.
We had a Florida cold snap this week…the temperature dropped
down to the 40s. Betty moved her sleeping spot into the bed with us on my side.
It was nice to have a warm lump next to me. I must have closed my sock drawer
with a sock caught in the drawer slide and it jammed the draw so it was only open
about an inch and a half. Inky can open the drawer to get in. That night she
could not get the drawer open. We heard her doing cat things over in that part of
the room, but it was too cold to get up and check it out.
The next morning Inky the standoff cat was on the wife’s
side of the bed in the same position Betty was on my side of the bed. We both
thought that was odd but nice. When we got out of bed we found almost all my
socks on the floor. Inky could not get the drawer open but could get a foot in,
and had snagged all the socks she could reach and had pulled them out of the
drawer. When she could not get the drawer open she settled for the bed. As I was
picking up my socks, Inky gave me a long Meow as if telling me you don’t mess
with the Black Cat! Betty could care less.
