The past couple of weeks have been weird. And as a result, I've had nothing to write about. Totally uninspired. But despite that, I've still been wanting to post something. I thought I would take advantage of my uninspired state to introduce you to someone special.
Some of you have been lucky enough to meet him; let this serve as a reminder of what a handsome devil he is.
And yes, he is both handsome and a devil. Both descriptions are accurate.
His new "thing" ... peeing on the front door. To be clear, he pees on the door and on the carpet in front of the door. He is nothing if not thorough.
His "thing" since we first got him ... vomiting. There is no pattern to it. He just throws-up ALL the time. And we are constantly cleaning it up. We will definitely not be getting our pet/security deposit back from this apartment.
He also squawks at us. It is not a meow. It is nothing other than squawking. And it is annoying as almost anything I've experienced in my life thus far.
He also jumps on our bed at hours when jumping should not be a part of any one's activities. And all so he can sniff our noses and our eyelashes, and crawl all over us.
He has completely ruined my $100 IKEA dining table set; it is the tool of preference for his daily manicures.
But despite that, I still find happiness in him. His little nose ... his little paws ... his super-softness. I can tell there are times when he genuinely enjoys our company. He's become quite a cuddle-bug these days; he follows us around the apartment more than he ever has before.
I think he's a bit of a comedian, too. Must have picked up on that from Collin. Maybe a little from me, too ... I have my comic genius moments.
He recently had an ear infection. Silly as it may sound, the experience briefly transported us into parenthood ... having to hold him down, resist the squirming, and drop the medicine into his ears. He didn't understand. But we had to help him get better.
I never thought I would care this much about a cat. But I do. Some days I want to kick him to the curb, tell him to pack his bags and get out. Really, though, he's our buddy.
Please meet Manji ...
