I Interviewed My Cat, These Are His Answers ❤
11 Favorites and Facts About Me: A Writing Prompt For Your Dog, Cat, or Pet!
I loved putting a character and voice to Bindi girl so much in my last post, I had to do it for our sassy prince Belmont. I hope I capture his loving attitude as well as I portrayed Bindi’s enthusiastic energy in my previous post:
- What is your name, your age, and what are your breeds? I’m Belmont, and I’m 16. My paw-rent-ahem, excuse me — my roommates think I’m a Bombay cat, I don’t know. I’m handsome as hell, though.
Ugh. Sarah must have put that stupid rectangle in my face again, is that what they’re always doing with that damn rectangle, saving my bleps?
2. What is your favorite food? I prefer Fancy Feast’s grilled collection since I am myself a fancy feline. If Tim is eating Cheetos though, game over. I’m there.
3. Who is your favorite human? Sarah is who I snuggle with, and Tim is who I feel safest with. I’ll sit on Tim’s lap sometimes, he’s got a good, strong thigh and quad. Good stability there. Before we moved, I used to sleep and lay on Sarah’s head on her pillow since there was a window right next to it — can we put a window behind the bed again, guys? I’d prefer that instead of moving again. Stop doing that.
4. Where is your favorite place to nap? Well, I used to sleep where I pleased before that damn dog appeared (we didn’t have to get a dog, guys). So lately when she’s asleep on the chaise, I’ll come sit behind the humans’ head on the back of the couch, like this:
5. Where is your favorite place to play? Play, or hunt? That reminds me, there’s that goddamn blue, feathery mouse in the bedroom that somehow keeps reappearing after I’ve killed it…
6. Who is your animal best friend? I am a one-man wolf pack. But maybe my humans, and then I suppose Bindi, but only when she is asleep. She can’t be trusted when she’s awake.
7. What is your favorite trick? Excuse me, I don’t perform for my food, thank you very much. I simply get it when I please. If the humans are sleeping, sometimes I’ll have to lick or swat at one of their foreheads to get them to go to that special cupboard in the kitchen.
8. What games do you love to play? Don’t patronize me with the word “play”, I hunt. Sometimes, that other giant rectangle in the house becomes a window. One day I’ll get that damn bird within it…
9. Where is your favorite place to walk? From my cave under the bed, into the kitchen. If the humans are on the couch, I suppose I’ll walk over there and join them.
10. Do you love to swim? Don’t humor me with your stupidity, please. I love to eat grass and stay on land, thank you very much.
11. What is your favorite guilty pleasure that your humans might not approve of? Sometimes, I just swat at their foreheads or knock things off of their nightstands because I like watching things fall. Don’t tell them, though. I love them too much for them to get mad about it.
