It is funny… usually when we have company I am ready for them to go home after a short while. When they go it feels good to get back in my usual routine. But this morning shortly after I woke I became aware that i felt lonesome. I am sure it is partly because Trip was here for so long that she became part of my daily routine, but it is partly because she is pleasant to have around and she “fits”…. and maybe partly because we were working which gave us something to do and took away the “company” feeling.
I am sure that Bruce misses her. They took a particular liking to each other the first day. Bruce also liked that she went outside to smoke often. I think he found it interesting that she went outside every couple of hours and just sat, ready to pet him and be companionable.
Come to think of it, Carrie showed a marked preference for Bruce too. She enjoyed playing with him. Bruce responds well to her favorite kind of cat play.
Some people I don’t mind having around. They quickly become establishments in my living space. Others I want to get out of my living space as soon as possible because they are intrusions. Naturally a spectrum exists between the two.
I think that Trip just clicked into the first type rather quickly and having a part of your established living space change leaves a void.
And Bruce liking people? When did this happen?
lol Bruce likes some people. He has always liked Luke. He still has little toleration for anything he does not like, even from people he likes.
Actually. Bruce has calmed some with age.
