They Grow Up So Fast

Fred at 4 mos.

Frederico Feliney is 6 years old. 

Freddie is a very sweet and helpful cat. 

He taps me on the knee or arm when he 

wants my attention. 

If he draws blood and I leap out of my seat, 

I also know his nails need clipping. 

Many mornings at 3am he'll gently tap on 

my shoulder, asking if I'm not quite asleep 

might I rub his belly? He walks round and 

round till he finds the right position to 

flop down, over and belly up. Too funny 

and sweet. OK, so he's trained me perfectly!  

 

Fred is also interested in Physics. 

Not a day goes by that he doesn't 

experiment with gravity, pushing 

objects off flat surfaces with his nose,

filling the newly created vacuum 

with himself. He will also go to any 

lengths (and/or heights) to explore 

the mysterious moving light reflected 

from my watch face in late afternoon 

when the sun is in the west window.

Freddie is modest. Never seeks 

the limelight, just a few Whisker Lickins 

crunchy snacks. When not in scholarly 

pursuit he can be found sleeping in a 

window high above the city or beneath 

the fold where the bedspread meets the rug. 

His retreat revealed only by an exposed tail. 

Buon Compleanno, mio gattino!!  =^..^=
