Identity Crisis' and Giant Rabbits!

As I'm sure I've previously mentioned - we have a cat called Einstein. Problem is he thinks he's a dog, and actually I think he has ADHD, though I'm hoping its cos he's still 8 months old just.

Every morning I am woken by him with the same two demands. The first demand is "feed me". Our cat seems completely controlled by his stomach and could eat all day if let! The second is "play with me!" and starts with him nosing my hand until I wake enough to stroke him, he then continues the waking process with a light nip, instructing my pain receptors to wake the rest of me. Upon opening my eyes its clear to see that he has actually brought his small soft ball up with him and deposited it on the bed in between Phil and myself. Ears back and body low to the floor he dares me to throw it for him.

One of the earliest signs was that he will actually play fetch, to the point where he is panting (like a dog)!

On Friday night we left the house to walk over to Friends house, they live very close to us, and decided to leave the cat out for the evening. He followed us from a distance, and when he realized we had spotted him gave in a walked beside us to the front door where he let himself in.

There is already a cat residing at this house, and so we held our breath to see how the encounter would turn out. Phoebe (friends cat) sat watching carefully from the arm of the sofa while Einstein wandered about the living room for a good 10 minutes checking things out, it wasn't until he turned to walk out again that he suddenly noticed the other cat watching him. Well noticed Einstein, well noticed.

Problem is that our friends cat is slightly scared of other cats, and while Einstein is only 8 months old, he is much bigger than Phoebe is and she's over 4 years old. The fact that he's half fluff makes him seem even bigger...

So we let Einstein out and thought that he's bound to find his way home again. Two hours later we hear a sound at the window and discover that he's been waiting outside for us to leave and wants back in again to see us.

OK so thats probably not anywhere near as interesting to you as it is to me, but I really want to check Facebook and Phil suggested I write a blog to distract myself. So there you go, a very uninteresting story about my cat.

Oh - my sister told me today that her and her friend (whom she lives with) decided to buy a rabbit one day on the way home to their student house from somewhere (impulsive student-type decision) and got it home and, after a few days of growing and poo-ing everywhere, and having doubled in size in a week they very reluctantly decided to take it back to the shop, where the owner asked them did they know it was a giant rabbit they had bought...and that the fact that it was bigger than an adult rabbit at 2 months old should have given that away slightly...logic kicked in and my clever sister decided that she definitely wanted to keep it now...

I'm pleased to say that she does not own a giant rabbit anymore.
