My poor Skitty-kitty

My darling cat Skittles has been so fun to be with during this vacation. I really love my cats, I am most definately a cat lover and if I didn't have a man I'd have like 5 cats. My poor Skittles yesterday though... I was packing my things up to go to Hilo yesterday. He's figured it out now that when I start making trips back and forth to the car with armfulls... he especially figured out that whether or not I have the computer hooked up determines whether or not I am staying home. Well he saw the computer get packed up.. and that was it. Thus began his fit yesterday. He got his brother to help to 'try' to convince me to stay, making puppydog eyes and being so very cute.. then he tried to trip me and follow me from every room. He watched my every move and then started running back and forth in the house like a madman. He was very upset that I was leaving. This was the biggest fit he's ever thrown, I really felt so bad that I even cried. Yes, I cried. My cats are little people, I don't care what other people think. They talk to me, they let me know how they are feeling because they are very expressive. If you saw how they interact with me you would eventually agree. Cats are mainly vocal in the company of humans and in the wild they rarely meow, so its a form of communication they picked up because that's what all the people do - make funny noises with their mouths. You can almost hear a 'NO' in their meow at particular times such as when they are getting a bath. Don't you think if you grew up with a certain people you would learn their language? You might not be able to regurgitate it, but you could understand everything they are saying. I still cry about the deaths of my two most beloved cats, and I think Skittles has earned his right as the third. I'm getting teary eyed again... I love all my cats, but since they are just like people, there's always one that just touches you more than others. David says when he comes over to my house I play with my cats more than him! Hehe! Playing with cats is something I love to do, and they seem to love it too. ^_^ My little Skitty even loves to be held like a baby... he IS such a baby and I hope my mom lavished him with attention lastnight because he was so upset when I left. It's going to be so hard when I marry David and officially move out of the house... :(
