I don’t get enough socialization, Dad. I don’t have any friends. I’m like a shut-in here. I think I’m supposed to be unhappy with this realization, Dad.
Hmm, do you want to have friends? You have two sisters and a brother. At least one of them would be giddy at the thought of being your friend, if that’s what you want. You’re the one that would need to open the door to that happening. Everyone knows you’re more on the independent, I-don’t-need-anyone else, side of relationships.
My sisters and brothers? Oh no!, Those can’t be friends. They’ve seen me poop!

As with most of the cat toys around Colehaus, we too are ignored sometimes. Tessa spent most of the winter ignoring Mom and Dad completely. She wasn’t lovey, or snuggly, didn’t come when called (nothing unusual there), and wanted little to do with brushing, scritches, or petting.
One warm weekend later and she’s demanding attention, wants to snuggle, and is calling the very best toys hers alone.
When not climbing all over us and giving kisses (shh, don’t share that info!), she’s leaping from counter top to window sill, rubbing on corners and blinds and purring up a storm. Maybe the warmer weather brought out the best of tuxie behavior in her? We can understand that.
Once the cold, rainy weather returned, so did her usual mode – ignoring us and everything, except a favorite fleece blanket. We think if 12 year old Tessa were human, she’d be a snowbird and probably living it up in Florida or San Diego right about now, yelling at kids to get off her lawn.
