Harry and I have been getting along I guess. He’s annoying but that’s nothing new.
There is one thing though. We got a new friend. Cactus. Friend? Actually no. That’s not true. He’s a sheep in wolves’ clothing…An interloper…A fiend…a liar and a cheat.
Cactus
Harry
Cactus? He’s okay! Likes to be scratched. I like it too. It’s good!
Sammy
Harry’s still an idiot. It’s “good”? This from the cat that chased his own tail this morning. There were plenty of toys, but no, his tail is what he plays with. What!?
Cactus
Sammy
Shhh…. there it is again! He thinks I can’t hear him! He’s talking about me behind my back!
Harry
Cactus doesn’t even talk. Sammy’s being dramatic. She’s just mad that I got to him first. She’s jealous of our relationship.
Sammy
Relationship? Hah! Ummm…Harry doesn’t even know what that means.
Harry
Relationship? Yeah, I know what that is. It means something is mine. JUST mine. Not hers.
Sammy
What Harry doesn’t know is I knew Cactus waaaay before he did. He was about half the size he is now. Came in a box which my humans lifted him out of. Honestly, I had a good feeling about him at first. Great color, positive vibe. I immediately started purring when I saw him. And then Harry was like “Oh! A box!”
Harry jumped in the box right after my female put Cactus where he sits today. I watched him grow from two pieces to one. I encouraged him, purred the whole time. He was great full! I left him alone, he seemed tired after all that growing and gratitude. That was an entire day ago! When I woke up today, there was Harry! All over Cactus and Cactus was like, “Ohhhh you’re the best! Use me as a scratching post! You’re the only cat in the world!”
Harry
Sammy
I can’t believe I was so wrong! Normally I’m an EXCELLENT judge of character.
Harry
Everything loves me. That’s what happened. Not my fault!
Sammy
I love how Cactus isn’t saying anything now. It’s fine. We can be cordial. I won’t be purring for him anytime soon. I’m done. There’s still fish.
