Today I wanted to read my book peacefully, so I sneaked into the guest
bedroom (which we usually keep with a closed door to avoid having pounds
and pounds of cat hair accumulate there). I know nobody saw me, because
I was able to read alone for a good half an hour. Then I heard someone
scratching at the door and calling for me. How Rufous figured out I was
in there is a mystery. But I let him in anyway.
He wanted to be petted, as usual. I was lying on my belly, reading my
book, so I gave him some scritches with my right hand. If I stopped, he
would nudge his head against my hand, like all cats do when they want
more scritches. But he did something I'd never seen before. He grabbed
my hand with his paw (claws extended, for good grip) and pulled it
towareds his head!!! It's like he was saying: 'I said pet me, daddy!'...
I obligued. :)
