Guardian Cats
I’ve never had guardian cats, they’ve all been aloof and generally, well, catty. That was until the two that occupy my life now.
Both “lead the way” when walking somewhere, and one guards the door when I use the bathroom. Not interfering or under my legs, genuinely like “Hey, this room, it’s occupied, pound that pavement” and he won’t leave until I’m done. This is the same one that I’ll wake up and he’s curled on my chest.
The other one is always within ear shot and rapidly comes if called by whistle and will play fetch with balls. He proceeds in legacy to a street cat that adopted me. This one is always keeping track of what’s going on and will position himself in a location that gives him the best vantage point near me.
