Complex Cats.

[telophase]

So this morning before I got up, Sora was sitting on my chest purring and kneading (attempting to knead MY FACE as usual) while Nefer was on the bed nearby. (In Sora's usual spot!) Toby, before he went into the kitchen to feed the cats, came and sat on the edge of the bed next to me for a minute or two, scritching the cats.

After Toby left, Sora stood up streeeetched himself out and carefully, thoroughly sniffed the spot where Toby had been sitting, and once he had finished sniffing, sat down on that spot.





The ONLY REASON we are not calling Sora "Oedipus"* right now is that the natural nickname is "Eddie" which is Toby's boss' name and he refuses to call anything that. :)




* Oedipussy. Heh.

Oedipussy

That is hilarious.
You could call him Edie.

That might still be too close to "Eddie" for Toby's tastes! (He's not happy with his job right now, alas.)

Ah, Sora, our little Oedipal snowflake.

Our cat does that too! I haven't been able to decide: is it a borrowed-status thing (now I smell like Food Monkey!), a marking thing (this is MY chair, not Food Monkey's), or just slightly warmer and freshly-attenton-charged compared to the surroundings?

[telophase]

We tend to assume that Sora's doing the marking thing as he was not happy when Toby and I moved in together and suddenly Sora was no longer the only man in my life, but as Sora's getting used to Toby and has even been known to occasionally, grudgingly, solicit Toby for scritches, we can only guess.

Sora is a complex cat! Or a cat of many complexes, at least!
