All cats have their quirks. Revan the cat for example likes to sleep in bizarre positions and mainly wants to be with Son.
Shadow the cat chirps when wanting attention, and most annoyingly, thinks she's a dog. When we go out anywhere, she would follow us literally wherever we went. In my case, this is not a problem - I shoo her away.
Loony Missus cannot do this. The cat has consequently followed her way out of its territory on two occasions - on one it got itself lost in the local cemetery. It took us several hours to find her, then she followed us all the way home. On the other occasion the stupid thing followed Missus to the bus stop. Missus got on the bus, and the cat was stranded with no idea where it was, and harassed by local cats pissed off at this stranger in their territory. Again I had to go find her and she followed me home.
Now every time Missus goes out, we have to lock the cat in until Missus has long gone. If the cat is out, I have to escort Missus up the road and bar the cat from following her beyond the top of the road. I must surely be the only man in the universe who has to do this. It's somewhat humiliating and makes me feel lonely.
