Being fluffy makes it easy to forgive Forest

Forest is many things, but one thing no one has ever not agreed with... is the fact that this cat is fluffy and when he walks, his tail fur plumes out behind him in such a manner that it is nearly impossible to resist petting him. This is a good thing for Forest, because it makes it easy to forgive him when he does things he shouldn't.

So, what does Forest do that requires forgiving? He has a tendency to give me black eyes in the morning when he jumps on my eyes to get me to wake up, feed him, and play with him. If jumping on my eyes isn't an option, he'll bite 'till I bleed- it's his way of getting what he wants RIGHT now. In recent weeks, he's figured out to get some of the things he wants... without my assistance. He now knows how to open drawers and tightly sealed containers to obtain all of his favorite things... such as bread, muffins, my watch, my hearing aid, and my glasses. Once something has been obtained, he hides each item in a separate spot. The food is just because he wants to eat it, my hearing aid, glasses, and watch... he takes and hides those because knows that those are 3 things I never leave my house without. So, if he's got them, he figures I'll have to stay home with him. There are other people in this house... but I am the only one that receives this treatment from Forest.

Yep, it sure is a good thing that this little cat is so fluffy and that when he's nice, I feel so loved that I tend to forget and forgive his transgressions on my body, possessions, and food. He knows he's my cat, and he's made sure that I know he's mine. :-) Forest... you just gotta love him.
