I may have to sack the cat. Or at the very least complain to the Companion Animals ruling body. Yes, he is affectionate, yes he does run to greet me, yes he does sleep on the end of the bed. But on a cold Good Friday night, where was he? Beside me on the sofa? No; out in the garden. He came in for his dinner, did a bit of nose rubbing and off he went again. I ask you, is this reasonable?

So like a cat!
Hmmmm.
Isobel – YOU can’t sack not cat. YOU are the employee in this relationship.
Now he is in, has eaten and is curled on a ball beside me. My very beautiful employer…
Absolutely not – especially in your time of need. But I bet by morning will do something so sweet as to melt your heart and all will be forgiven. At least he should be sweet if he knows where breakfast comes from. Has spring touched his passions?
The outside at night seems a very exciting place to him, I know he watches foxes, maybe he hunts too. It is too cold for me so I don’t stay to watch. But he came in and wanted a cuddle and then slept very soundly and went out without breakfast a while ago.
Yes I bet he’s been back with cupboard love.
Ouch! Cupboard love? He is a very loving boy. I just don’t share his enjoyment of being outside in a cold windy garden at night.
There must be something VERY interesting out there to keep him away from the warm. Wonder what her name is?!
Her name is Scally. Maybe she was out and about too…
Well, you ask is the behavior “reasonable” and we ALL know that what’s “reasonable” to THEM is entirely different than what is for us. Sounds like he made up for things before the night was over though! 😀

And I do live to see him so happy and confident. He’s a great boy.
No not reasonable at all! Goodness!! What will you do with that ginger boy?.. 🙂
He is in again now. I had the opposite problem earlier. He wanted to be with me and I wanted to go to the shop to buy a paper. It got very complicated with several trips in and out of the garden before I could complete my mission.
He has you wrapped Isobel.. 🙂
I know, and I wouldn’t have it otherwise.
Of course not.. 🙂 He would have me in the palm of his paw and our kitties had me happily wrapped. CH and I were talking about our kitties yesterday on our way home from our daytrip! Almost time to flip over to a new MasterB!
He’s been done, so no mini MasterB’s possible I am afraid. Like Lorely in Writingfromtheedge, I am becoming quite impatient with people who want a kitten when there are so many grown and half grown cats needing homes.
An older cat is more my speed.. 🙂
Well, that was what i had in mind too, but it didn’t work out that way http://wp.me/pMKim-we
I thought that when I found Z, she was 7 months.
🙂
That’s a cat for you.
And he’s a male!
What do you expect?!
Today is sunny and blue skies. He went out at six, came in briefly at nine, went out again. He’s happy. What more can I ask? 🙂
OH Master B, wants to be in control. At least he cuddles. Att hardly does. Hope you had a wonderful weekend.
Thanks. I did. You were away I think? MasterB certainly enjoyed your attentions when you visited.
I’ll have to come by when I need a kitty hug. Att prefers being independent. Except last night when we got home he was affectionate for a few minutes. Then he wanted fed. Guess I can’t be too picky.
Sunny days in the garden mean he checks in for a nose rub fairly often!
