Miss Boo

***

Boo has not changed since she came to live with me in

2004. She was always skittish.

Always. She still is to a small degree now.

But she also seeks me out and literally demands 

attention and petting.

She is a sharp contrast of dueling emotions.

I sense she really wants the closeness,

but when she gets it she wants to push it away.

When she chooses to sleep with me, she nestles

right up against me. But if she's not in the mood and

I pick her up and take her into the bedroom with me

she will scratch on the side of the bed to be let out.

So, it is all on her terms.

Of course it is.

She's a cat!
