only more colorful

There is a new cat in town. His name is Moses. That’s what is on his collar. And he is so ugly he’s beautiful.
The first time I saw him I was captivated. I stopped the car and stared in wonder. The second time, I rushed across the street with the boys and we discovered Moses is greasy. The third time I saw him, I invited him onto the front porch for a treat. It was mostly fine except Moses has the weird habit of hissing for no reason. I think he is subconsciously angry about not having any hair. Sort of like short man syndrome for cats. Anyway I was excited about my new friend until Brent opened the door and informed me Sunny was sitting on the other side listening. I decided I better go in let Sunny know he was still number one even though I had become rather obsessed with Moses. Nope. Sunny would have none of it. He puffed up and walked away from me. I reached down to pet him and was shocked when he showed his teeth and hissed at me. Uh-oh. I followed Sunny to his favorite spot in the house the window between Brent and I’s desk. Once again I tried to pet him and this is what I got.
Guess he was sort of mad. If you know my cat you know he is really a dog trapped in a cat’s body. He’s really sweet and cuddly, almost pathetically so. I’m sure other cats would make fun him if they knew how sweet he was. But not today. I promised Sunny I wouldn’t pet Moses anymore. But it’s sort of hard. Moses is so new and it’s so tempting to pet him. Now when Moses comes over and greets me with a “friendly” hiss I just toss him a treat. Because although Moses may be strange and beautiful our little Sunny is sweet and faithful. So I better be too.
