Hello cat lovers! Baby Thomas here. Once in awhile my little mind wanders and thoughts go through my head that make me go.....hmmmmmm..... I've heard my Mom say 1000 times that she's never met two kitties with the same personality.....really......never......so it got me to thinking. Jesse James and I are litter mates and she's right, we have completely different personalities. The funny thing is I'm shy with new people and sudden noises. I'll never get used to sneezes even from my people. Jesse, as I said before loves newbies coming into the house and now that I think about he not all that keen on noises either.....what cat is.....
As brave as Jesse is with strangers when we go camping in the trailer he becomes super duper cautious kitty to the 10th degree. He's all about slowing down, taking your time to do things and dragging himself around the campsite on his belly if he can even get himself off the trailer steps. Me on the other hand.....when that freakin' trailer door opens my feet don't touch the stairs, I'm airborne and down the trail (on my leash) as fast as I can.
Yippee!!!Yahoo!!! I'm outside and I'm hiking!!! I stalk birds, bugs and link flying in the air. Dad sometimes has to jog along side me like a dog trainer at the Westminster Dog Show....my tail straight up and proud....I know my time outside is limited and I must cover as much ground as possible in that time. I want you to picture Jesse now still sitting on the bottom step of the trailer with Mom trying to decide if it's safe to take another step! What a wuss! Times a wasting my friend....seize the moment! I'm now on a trail next to our campsite far away from Jesse. Mom usually carries Jesse at this point to our private little beach. He loves to spread himself out on the big rocks and enjoys the heat on his belly....me on the other hand am covering as much beach as possible and climbing every log I can find. Mom and Jesse sit together and look out at the lake, I'm trying to find a bird to kill....never had the thrill yet but one day maybe.....(Mom will be very upset!). I sit at the foot of majestic cedar trees and I'm amazed that Mother Nature went to all that trouble to grow the biggest scratching posts I've ever seen.....You can usually find me about 5 feet up the bark spread out and happy as a lark!!! Oh I live for my little hikes. So I guess the point I'm making is at home I'm the cautious one not willing to trust everyone and everything and when we're away from home Jesse takes on that roll.....hmmmmmmmmmm......we kitties are a complex bunch!!! Don't you just love that about us!!!!
Thanks for spending some time with my thoughts today....
Thomas.... (a.k.a. Momma's Boy)
