The except to every rule!

Saps is literally the exception to every rule... Rules of a cat, must sleep throughout the day, very independant in a sense their off doing their own thing and only come to visit when hungry or want something like maybe affection, loves to play with strings, cat toys, loves to scratch things, you know a typical cat what their like if you don't, there is so many books on what to expect when getting a cat hehehe. Something I wasn't expecting was "saps" the a-typical cat. The cat who has seperation anxiety, who screams, meows, and cries for hours when I leave the room or house, who greets me at the door, then tries to run out the door, then tries to run towards the water(dont cats hate water???), who pees in the sink, has 6 inch whiskers yes we measured them, who has to be constantly by my side, will pick straws or tin foil balls over actual cat toys, who while most cats spend their time laying in boxes, she loves to jump in and out of boxes over and over and over again annnd sooo much more. How did I manage to get this unique cat, dont ask me, but she does mesh well with my family :).

Well i have to say its never a dull moment, since last post lots of interesting stuff happened, i cant recall all of it, just pieces, of course she attacked the dog, one time because well somebody dropped something, must have startled her, so why not attack the dog, i'm guessing thats what goes through her mind. Another time my mother made a loud pitch shock noise from watching something on tv, saps once again got startled didn't like the noise, attacked the dog. Poor dog has severe anxiety issues due to it all. The cat has once again every single second of the day is either laying by me, laying on me, sitting next to, sitting around me, and during all those times she is literally staring me down 24/7, like i'm so interesting to watch? i dont know, she has an unusual obsession with being my shadow, literally. Or when people are over and my typical cat is trying to stay away as much as possible while she is screaming to be by people, unfortunely the one person is deathly allergic to cats, so we try to keep saps in a room because roxanne usually jsut ignores the entire world while saps has to be involved and in peoples face 24/7 so we have to keep her away from people, especially people allergic to cats. Which is not a good idea when you have a cat who will claw her way out to get where she needs to go, literally claw her way out, we have the door holes to prove it. Well i thought since she is screaming and when she screams it actually sounds like words such as (owwww, helllo, hiiiiiiii) well maybe shes gotta get a drink of water or wants a straw ya know some sort of company since she has seperation anxiety, no of course she runs out towards the one guy who is deathly allergic to her, to walk up and sit in front of him to stare at him, yes must we all ask why? i dont know, why was she curious about him when there was another person new in the house too, was it because he was a guy? or did she actually know he was allergic? who knows, got her a straw, and she kept busy making sure to keep one eye on me at all times. Finally the guy started getting sick had to put her away, later on letting her out, her eyes were huge and boy was she angry, first victim the dog, thankfully nothing happened and she continued her daily routine of staring me down 24/7. Now she has weirder moments that makes me just wonder whyyyyyyyyyyy? really whyyyyy?

For instance she has a weird obsession with feet, HAS to smell peoples feet, like HAS to, and if nobodys feet are around to smell, what does a foot fetish cat do? go to the draw of socks near the floor, sticks her head in the huge amount of clean(maybe some dirty who knows) socks, and sits there sniffing for about 2-3minutes, can you say whyyy?? i dont know i really just dont know what to say about that but if their clean her she just continues her day if they smell she has to sit there for another 2-3 minutes with her mouth open and eyes squinting, gotta love a cat with facial expressions haha. Heres another moment I just wish I could explain, most cats can be left alone do their own thing, yes they all do crazy things and get into weird or suspicious situations but not saps her situations are alittle too "rare" i guess you could say for a cat. The other day I caught her eating something off the floor, now this cat eats anything, when i say anything, lets put it this way, if its on the floor and she can get it in her mouth, its most likely in her mouth haha. Well I was curious considering i know she has problems eating and picking up food consideirng her tongue doesnt move right, what is she trying to eat? another bug again? nope, instead she was trying to eat a needle, yes i said it right, a freaking "needle"!!!! you know like a needle and thread type of needle, like idk how or where she got that from, but why would you eat that? Oh wait it gets better, later that week, I heard choking, now choking is normal in our house, i do it, and both the cats do it, has to be genetics lol, anyways it wasnt my older cat, because more then likely she is sleeping, and of course she was and it wasn't me, had to be miss saps. I'm looking all around, behind my mothers door, there she is, with a ribbon a long ribbon like i would have to say 12 inches, that was once wrapped around a pillow, was almost all the way down her throat!!! My gosh, and there she is choking still trying to swallow it, can you guess that i knew she was hungry, no who meows these days to want food, no instead i'm going to be saps and eat random objects that make no sense to hopefully point out i'm starving, as i sit here choking on it.,, like omgosh. I pulled it out of her throat, full of spit, and try to coax her to her food, but since its not her usual type of food, gosh forbid, she refuses to eat, right back to exploring new edible things i shouldnt even say edible but to her anything is edible. Eventually id id get her to eat cat food. These are the days that make me feel Sapphire, is literally the exception to every rule, even when it comes to cats!!!
