A She-Cat Tamed By The Purr Of Her Humans

My partner and I recently adopted a pretty eighteen-month-old rescue cat who was likely weaned too early. (Don’t buy pets when they’re too young, folks!) This has resulted in some adorable but unexpected quirks. The latest is that she’ll try to wake us in the mornings by very gently chewing on my cheeks and sucking on my partner’s beard.

My partner is a professional singer, and we’re both crazy cat people.

I hear the cat walking down the corridor toward us and start singing to her, Hall & Oates style.

Me: “Oh-oh, here she comes! Watch out; it’s a kitty caaaat! Oh-oh, here she comes—”

And in an extremely beautiful tenor, my partner’s voice chimes in from the kitchen.

Partner: “She’s a faaaaace-eater!”

Face Eater Cat is a very happy, healthy animal who’s found her forever home, and she chirrups along when serenaded with eighties hits. It’s a match made in heaven.
