I’ve had a few cats in my lifetime and one of them lived to drive me crazy. I was visiting my mom on one of my college breaks and she found a wild cat under her house so she took him in. I can’t quite remember why she didn’t want to keep him, I think it was because she tried to give him to my grandmother and well that didn’t work out well, so she ended up with him again. The cat, we named him Lucky, my grandmother did because she said he was lucky to be alive after he scratched her really bad. Anyway, he was ADORABLE, he had the softest fur, mostly white and he had a lot of attitude. I really think he was just afraid of people, and like my mom, after seeing him, I took him in as a project for myself. I knew I could turn him into a nice calm cat. I took him to his new home and he darted straight into my room and didn’t come out. As time went on he started to get to know my roommates and friends at night, but he wouldn’t get close to any of them. He only came out at night. And when I wanted to go to bed he really started to have fun. I’m not sure if maybe he was just trying to get revenge on me for taking him from under my mother’s house. He would get on top of my dresser and knock things off. He would play with my hair, and, I had this lamp that was touch sensitive. I never thought his paws would be able to activate it. It would be on every morning. I thought I was going crazy, so I finally decided that I had to test it out. Yep, his paws activated the lamp. No matter how crazy he made me, we bonded, he was my cat, and he was way too cute to stay mad at.
