Don’t tell Stitch, but I would really love to own an orange cat one day. I’m not sure where the desire to own one came from. It could have possibly been influenced by Morris the Cat. It was definitely influenced by the character Kyo in the anime/manga Fruits Basket. It could have even been from seeing a cute, orange kitten at the Orange County Pet Expo one year.
I went back to work this week from my Maternity Leave and was delighted to see that CatChannel.com is running a Pumpkin Cats Contest. Cat owners can submit photos of their orange cats for the chance to win some fun cat-related prizes. Since I don’t have an orange cat of my own I have made an effort to look through the entries of orange cats that have already been entered.
I want to snuggle each ball of orange fluff. I think Stitch might be catching on though. He sat on my lap as I viewed photo after photo of one orange cat after another. I “oohed” and “awed” over each one. I think he got jealous because he jumped off my lap and sat on the window sill pouting. I could tell he was pouting because he kept looking over at me and each time that I caught his eye he turned away from me. I think it was a look of disgust. He seemed downright moody. Then again, he’s a cat and I just might be over analyzing typical cat mood swings.
I told him I loved him but I don’t think he believed me, especially when I went back to looking at orange cat photos. I guess I could have been a little more sensitive. I still want an orange cat one day if I can find one at a rescue that can tolerate a house full of kids and two moody cats.
