My pets (humans) don't bring me dead mice, let alone live, warm ones, like this kitty gets. I get some 9Lives twice a day. That is okay, though. You see, my female, Ocee, likes to hunt. She LOVES to hunt. So, I get regular presents of birds, lizards and mice. She doesn't really ever bring me snake, though. Maybe I should talk to her about that. A nice grasssnake, every now and then, would be sublime. You must have a female to hunt for you!
That has to be it! He is a bachelor, and his pets (humans) are providing for him, since he doesn't have a female. Well, kitty, I think that you do have awesome pets, but I wouldn't trade my female in for a warm mouse every now and then..... No siree! I like my female very much. She is nice to cuddle, tease, chase, play, and snuggle with. I can't imagine my life without my female.
Hmmm.... the first time that I REALLY saw Ocee, I had been away on my week-long border patrol of my territory. I came back in for refueling and sustenance, and there was ANOTHER CAT AT MY BOWL! How horrid! I thought that I had been replaced. I felt awful! I had only been gone for MAYBE 5 days, and another cat was eating out of my bowl, being petted by MY pets, and over all receiving the love that I DESERVED! At first, I growled at her. Then, I checked her out. Then, I realized that she WAS A HER!!!!
"HHHHMMM!" I thought, "Having a female around could be nice." I decided to wait and see, and to try to get to know Ocee as soon as possible. I tried to sniff her, but she didn't like that. I tried to rub against her, but she tried to claw my face. This courtship wasn't going as quickly as I had hoped. Oh well, Shtankadoodle is patient!
I waited, and waited, and waited, and waited, UNTIL she could sit near me and actually relax. For a long time, she wouldn't even sit where she couldn't see me. BUT, she gladly moved into my domain.... WOMEN!!!! Well, now, we are a bonded unit. She is my female, and I am her male, but those were trying times. I am so glad to have her..... Yes, we, males, need our women.
I would gladly have my female over a freshly delivered mouse any day. I love you, Ocee!
