Cat visitor

Cute cat is currently at his brother Obidobi playing, fighting and checking out the birds living in that area. The reason for his absence is a forced presence of one of my sisters' cats. The one-year-old Oriental Shorthair cat Mint (see picture). He is my own cat's antithesis. They are both cute of course, this should be noted, and both are cats, but this is about as much in common as they will ever have.

Mint is the cuddliest cat you can imagine. He wants to be in your lap / on top of you / in your armpit while you're sleeping etc. Cute cat, well, he just wants to do his stuff. Sometimes he can sleep next to me in bed, but as soon as I accidentaly kick him in my sleep, he seems deeply offended and leaves. Mint would never do that. I don't know what it would take for him to bugger off. He does get quite offended too when I roll over him in my sleep, but he just gets up, and makes a "mjeeee" (his version of 'meooow'). When I have settled down again, after having been woken up by something creeping out underneath me making a weird sound, he cuddles up again in my armpit / on my arm / very very close to me. Whenever I sit in my sofa, Mint is instantly on my lap. Whereas cute cat, on a good day, might offer me an ascew glance from the top of the bookcase. Cute cat loves water, while Mint flees it. Cute cat is sometimes trying to get outside at any price, while Mint refuses to leave any warm place for a cold and snowy outside.

But they are both great and lovely cats, in their own way. Mint is forced stay at my place since he is very horny at the time. Although, which I am greatful for, he behaves nothing like cute cat did during his crazy-period. Mint does not mark urine territories, or shout like a maniac (or in a way that turns you into a maniac). But what he does is bite my sisters small cat, Aron, as soon as he makes a tiny move. Mint also hump the little tiny Aron. Not very nice behaviour, so Mint was forced to leave Aron alone until his masculinity has been removed (scheduled for tomorrow).

It is nice with a visitor, eventhough I miss cute cat a lot. It makes it easier, though, to know that cute cat is in the good company of his brother. Mint seems to like it here too. Here is a lot of flowers for him to eat, and throw up again. Which he seems to entertain himself with. You'd think that a cat would catch on the first, or second time he eats something that makes him hurl, but No! Eating green stuff, like grass, is unfortunantely (now when he is trowing up indoors) just a way for them to alleviate per oral removal of ingested hairballs. Being the pedigree Oriental Shorthair breed cat he is, it is not good enough for him to throw up his hairballs / grass on the wodden floor, a flat area which is easy to clean afterwards. Instead, he likes to throw up on the carpet in my sitting area (twice, so far), carpet in the bathroom (once, so far), or on the carpet in my kitchen (thrice, so far). But today, his vomit placement won all awards for most unnecessary surface to put your sick on; my nice quality 120-euro wool blanket.

Those breed cats, they sure know how to make everything in a sophisticated way, even vomiting. I wonder if there actually is an official award for vomit placement, do you know?
