I watch her do things and wonder if this is how adopted children will react and grow into our family too. It is a wonderful and fascinating experience.
Penny is coming out of her shell a bit. Last night my sister visited. Until now, Penny would not put her feet down on the carpet unless she was in a dead run to hide. Yesterday, that all changed.... My sister got up to go to the restroom and I heard her yelp, "Um... did you realize there is a cat draped over the back of your toilet? Just thought you would like to know!"
A while later I heard a noise in the kitchen. I looked up and there sat Penny on the counter, her head deep in a large bowl in the sink where Hubby had just polished off a bowl of ceral. She apparently has a thing for milk. She also stuck her head in his salad later that night to try and lick up the ranch dressing! Personality I tell ya....
She is exactly what I always hoped for in a kitty too. I have missed my reading partner for five years now. It was wonderful last night to curl up in bed with a long book and a purring kitty to close out the night. There's just something about cats and books that go hand in hand. We are going to have to work a bit on her part in all of this reading stuff. She loves books, preferably laying over the top of them belly up so that her new human can pet her. She also loves rubbing up against each page that I turn. My borrowed book has a fine layer of black kitty hair along the edges now.
The real kicker though............
This morning we lost her. She was no where to be found. We searched all of her hiding spots and then some we suspect she will eventually discover. Neither of us worried. The door was closed and there was no way she could have gotten out, so she was around somewhere. When I came home, Hubby triumphantly announced that he had found Penny. I asked where she had been. He said "Oh she's still there, follow me."
This is what I found!

I think it is the tuxedo cats that seems to have such great personalities, especially ones that have been adopted. We got ours when she was 9 months old last year and she is always doing funny things like yours and we absolutely love her quirky ways. She gets into alot of things our other cat (who is a tabby) wouldn't even think of getting into. Gotta love our furbabies! I don't know how I would have survived last year's events without them.
I lost my kitties for an entire day after we brought them home. I always think it's hilarious to find a cat in the washer. We had a cat that used to like to sleep in the washing machine, even if there were wet clothes in there. He was black and white too and the best cat I have ever known.
