As I was typing the last post, Firka started making noice - looking for attention. She's like a true kid - doing something she's not supposed to draw attention to herself when we're busy. Although everyone who met her agrees that she's the best behaved cat they've ever met. My cousin even said I did a better job with her than she did with her kids. Not that it's much of a compliment.

Most of my friends think I've gone completely nuts because I treat Fira more like a person then an animal. We have conversations and share our feelings. But I think this will only sounds weird to ppl who've never had pets. Others will understand.
