and they are all like that. All of them. Having cats is like hanging out with drunk friends: Somebody is hungry, somebody is puking, somebody is out cold, and somebody is yelling for no reason. Gotta love 'em.

Hamish was a perfectly sweet little man, no different from any of my other cats—calm, snuggly, gentle, even clingy. Tabbies, Maine coon, torties, calicos—every damned cat who’s owned me has been the same.

I have to wonder if the “one brain cell” fable is simply from people who don’t grok cats and simply look for their cat to fit a so-called mold. *shrug*

My dad got him as a kitten from some people giving away a litter of kittens. Dad picked him because he was the runt of the litter. The kitten grew up to be a beast. During the day, he loved to be babied and he'd love to sit on our laps being cradled like a baby while we rubbed his neck.

At night, he wanted to go outside and roam so we let him out. After a couple of hours, he'd push his head against our wooden patio screen door banging it to let him in. He'd come in with cuts and scratches all over him and once inside he wanted to be babied again.

I’ve had an orange cat or two in my life for over 50 years. Most just coincidently came into my life through the cat distribution system. They’ve all had different personalities.
