Bobber and I have really connected. He comes and lays by me now and looks for some loving on occasion. He likes attention when I’m home. Especially since it seems like I’m not home often enough. But I am. I only go to work a few hours a week. It just feels long because I don’t get home to at least 5:30. But if I’ve got errands to run it can get as late as 6:30pm. That’s about what Bobber will tolerate before he starts trouble in the house.
Yes, this cat is messy when I’m not around to keep him in line. I can always tell if I’ve been gone too long for his liking. My spheres all end up rolling around on the floor. I still have yet to find two (2).
Through all this complaining though, I love Bobber and won’t give him up for nothing. We both have our understandings of each other and we respect that. He is a wonderful emotional support pet. When I cry he pays attention. He tries to make me feel better. Sometimes he just sits by me and watches. Which I don’t mind at all. He looks at me in a way that I see love and compassion and empathy from his eyes as he sits near and watches me.
I’ve been watching a lot of YouTube on TV. Things about cats; like “Why your cat does this….” Or “13 signs your cat loves you”, etc. Things of that nature. I’m learning a lot more than I ever knew about cats.
For example: I think Bobber has a nervous tick, that he may do when he’s bored or anxious. That would be his constant grooming. I know cats like to groom themselves. But Bobber is obsessive. He’s always grooming. They say to stop the constant grooming is to give them something to do when you’re gone to keep them busy for a while and give them enough attention when you get home.
I live in a studio apartment. We know what a studio apartment consists of, and that’s not enough room for Bobber. He gets bored.
I could go on and on about my YouTube learnings.
