Manu adopted a respectful behavior, I have to admit. She tried to stay out of my sight and never reacted when I beat her for being… Manu.
In the first days, I hissed to her a lot, beat her a little and showed her that I am the owner of the house. Actually, I truly believed that my humms would see that they had made a mistake and they will return her for wherever she comes but, after some days, I saw that she comes to stay. And I began to be used to her company.
I even could see some good points in her: differently of my humms, she has soft fur and is good to take a nap in her company. She help me to take baths (she is good in cleaning my ears, for example) and we discovered that there are some plays that we could do together. And her food was excellent, too.
But I also noticed that she was a pain in the neck. She pretended that she was mellow, and pretended that she liked the lap of Mom, who was in some way bewitched by her. She made a lot of strange sounds that the humms liked – for example, when they opened a can of tuna, they loved to hear her humiliating begs for the food.
It was not an honored behavior, but I learned that I had to let her act the way that she likes. As I like to be left alone great part of the day, to have another cat in the house helps to avoid the excess of humms attention.
And I always can beat her if she did something that I didn’t like, so, let’s the life goes on…
