ysobelI have officially had Suri for four months now. (Feb 26 was when she came home with me.)
It seems like longer.
Then again, when I'd had her a *week* it still felt like I'd had her forever.
#
I worried, and sometimes still do, that I'd not be the best kittymom. That she would like everyone else more than me. I mean, I'm not the one directly providing food (I pay for it, but she doesn't know that), and I can't come to her when she wants attention where she is, and I can't even pet her properly (she can be in my lap and all I can do is scritch in one place, not a full-body pet that she arches into), and I don't always give her immediate undivided attention, and and ...
...and I have a lap that she can sit in - a tilty lap at that, where she can settle down and lick her paws andexfoliate the hell out of lick my arms, and I have meowversations with her (no idea wtf I'm saying in Cat, but it's fun to mimic the sounds she makes, and "mrrp" back at her); and she might not purr at me (even though she will purr for my roommates), but she does come to me for attention, and even when she's curled up semi-napping she's where she can keep an eye on me, and when she's on my lap or stomach or chest or whatever, watching me with half-closed eyes, I just get this sense of overwhelming overpowering love.

I'm sure she'd be thrilled if someone put a dish with a tablespoon of gooshy food (or even a few treats) on your lap or beside you in bed so that you could be feeding her and she could be eating with you. I get insecure about my dog, and then she comes over after hanging out with everyone else and I can just FEEL that no one but me will do. I'm her Mama.)
Happy -versary!

(I worry a lot about this, too, by the way, because the cats are often alone for 8-10 hours a day)
