He just wanted to play, and I found he would chase a string for much longer than I could hold out. I tried to find his owner, but like many cats in my apartment complex, Squirt was most likely abandoned when his owners had to move and could not take him along. My new friend has turned out to be quite a character. I'm sure I saw the vet writing Feline Attention Deficit Syndrome in his notes. Squirt is no lap cat.
Laps are to be used as trampolines only.
Napping is out. If you can get in two pats, you are lucky. Then the critter is wandering off looking for something more FUN to do. If he can't get me to play with him, then he goes to the front door and makes a big fuss to go out. There is SO MUCH to get done outside.
