Tuesday, May 01, 2007 My cat loves werewolves!

It's pet Tuesday here at my blog, and today I'm going to talk about Lucretia, my cat who loves werewolves.

Recently I treated myself to Sexy Beast II, Wild Nights, and Kiss of the Wolf as celebratory book purchases after finishing a manuscript. My preferred reading time is between 11pm and midnight, usually as a good way to end the day. Since I like to read sprawled out on the bed, you can usually find one, or more, cats accompanying me. It's not unusual to see Lucretia, our big orange cat who is affectionately called "cranky lady" curled up near by. However, I've noticed since I've been reading these books (instead of the non-fiction civil war history books I had been reading), she's taken to curling up right beside me, her white-tipped paws on my arms, and reading over my shoulder as it were.

Yes, I do believe Lucretia likes werewolves.

If I'm reading a novel, such as Kate Douglas' awesome Chanku tales, or Morgan Hawke's Kiss of the Wolf (which I started last night), then Lucretia is right there, peering over my arm. Sometimes she puts a paw on the page as if to say "wait, I'm not done reading," and after a few moments she'll take it away again and I can turn the page. She's a regular reader of werewolf tales. If the story doesn't feature any wolves, then she can be found curled up on the pillow or a corner of the bed or somewhere else, but usually not where she can see the book I'm reading.

Most animal lovers think their animals have somewhat human qualities. We make jokes all the time about my partner's cats, the "princess" and the "queen." We attribute all sorts of emotions and feelings to our pets. But I wonder, how many has a cat who likes to read werewolf books?
