My Mom's Cat Is Kin To The Devil

This face is reserved for me. 
   We all love our pets, right? Well, not me, but only because I have no pets. However, I do have my mom's cat. That cat and I, oh the times we have. We have declared open war on each other. To be honest, it's kinda half-hearted on my side, but on his, oh how he hates me.
   This all started about three years ago, back when my sister decided that she needed a cat. Wait, my sister? Wasn't this about my mom's cat? Well, he started out as my sister's cat, but good luck trying to tell a cat who owns him. He loves my mom. He literally worships the ground she walks on. If she is knitting, he has to be there, helping by batting at the needles and playing with the yarn. If she is on the computer, he has to be there, laying across the keyboard. If she is gaming (oh yeah, my mom's a hardcore gamer, you better believe it) he is right there, in her lap so that she has to hold the controller at a crazy-ass angle. He hates when she leaves and stays curled up on her bed until she gets home. When she gets home he frantically mews to her, like he is telling her is whole day. He really is almost dog-like in his devotion to her.
    But he is only a one-person cat; everybody else he ignores. If they pet him, he will tolerate this affection in a manner that allows them to see that he is really above all of their affection and that by allowing them to touch him, he is really doing them a massive favor. Except me: his archenemy. He does not tolerate me.
   If I touch him, ha! Wait, no I don't get to touch him. He runs from me, hissing, if I get to close. When I do manage to pick him up, he moans. Yeah, moans. That is the weirdest sound I have ever heard, and this is why I keep picking him up, I can't help it. In return, he trips me up and swipes at me when he thinks he can do it without being caught.
   And why am I calling him the devil's kin? Doesn't it sound like I am the one harassing the life out of that poor little kitty cat? Oh, folks, this is payback. See, back in the first few months of having him in the family, really before he had even attached himself to mom, he started this war. And now it's on, no mercy. (Don't freak, I am not interested in hurting him. I just like to annoy him.)
   He loved to bat at feet when we first got him. He really was attached to my daughter first, but she hated getting her feet slapped with ten little needle-like claws (go figure), and soon he realized that she just could not love him. But me, he still got under my feet. And I have this habit of pacing. If I am happy, I pace, if I am agitated, I pace, up and down the hall, back and forth, the bane of my family, the hallway hogger: I am always in it. And during one of my pacing episodes, this cat got underneath my feet without me seeing him, and I fell. As I fell, my feet twisted funny because they were caught up in a big. black cat, and I heard the strangest, wet popping sound. I had never heard a sound like this. And then I felt it. Oh. My. God. My foot screamed with pain. As I tried to get up, I realized that I couldn't put weight on that foot. Oh, have you guessed yet? That's right, my foot was broken. The cat had broken my foot!!!
   Oh, do you think that's all? Isn't that bad enough? Oh no, see, he got startled once while I was holding him as well. He didn't mean too, I admit that, but all his claws came out as he was trying to escape, and he gave my sister mocking rights for weeks to come. She laughed and told me that I looked like I was attacked by a baby tiger. Oh yeah, the clawing was that bad. I have scars. Not only that (there's more!!!), but I caught a strange bacteria from him, that you usually get from birds but can get from cats.I forget what the doctor called it, but this bacteria, according to the doctor, caused bubbles to form on my eardrums and my eyes to look like I had a major case of pink eye. And my ears and eyes hurt worse than the foot!

His eyes are glowing with hatred.
   So now we play this war game. I pet him, hold him, and thoroughly aggravate him because secretly, I love him I feel that I have earned that right, and him: he plots his next 'accident'. I see you, cat, I see you.

    it's allright. Could it be simply me or does it look as if like some of the comments come across as if they are coming from brain dead people? :-P And, if you are posting at other places, I would like to follow anything new you have to post. Would you list of all of your shared pages like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?

    1. Some of the comments are strange. I think some of the comments are coming from people who don't speak English as a first language. I seem to get a bit of traffic from other countries, but that's really cool to me. Some of them are just spam though. I have a facebook link at the top right of the page, but the facebook page is really new, and I am still figuring out how I wanna run it. Currently, this blog is the only thing I regularly publish. I am somewhat new to the social media field, and before I started writing this blog I had no other social media experience except for my own personal facebook page. The blog's facebook page does provide links to all the new blog posts. Thank you for the interest :)

    1. Usually, I think up a topic while I am supposed to be doing something else... Then when I have a minute,I sit down in front of my computer and just start typing. Some of them work, but I have plenty of unpublished draft posts that just didn't come out the way I wanted them too. If I ever have extra time, I plan on sitting down and seeing if I can fix them, but mostly, I just think of a topic and then brainstorm. Later, before I publish, I go back and try to fix the spelling and make sure it all flows correctly. Hope that helps. Some people like to outline, but that has never worked for me; I don't like being that structured. That is another way to do this though, and different things work for different people. I would suggest experimenting with techniques until you find one that works for you. Good luck!
