One of our cats has developed a new habit. I’m not so sure I like this habit and I’m not even sure where she got it from. If I am sitting on the couch watching TV or working on the laptop she will come up to me wanting my attention. If I don’t acknowledge her then she starts to head butt my arm. It is not just the normal cat thing where they will rub their head against you, but she hauls off and smacks me with the top of her head. This she continues to do until she has my attention. This all started about a week ago. Trust me it is a pretty effective way to get my attention.
It has been a very busy few weeks for me. Family events, moving my mom to a new place, spending time with my friends, working out trying to get back in shape, busy days at work, software upgrades, holidays. All good things, all necessary things, but when is it too much. Have I been so busy that I miss taking the time to talk to the checkout girl in the store? Miss the chance to sit with one of the lonely folks at the nursing home. Miss the chance to take someone out for lunch?
My cat is has just found a subtle way to remind me that we all need attention during the busy, busy time.
