If I had to describe my cat in one word....

If I had to describe my cat in one word... the word would be sardonic.

He looks over at people with clear eyes, a smile (yes, cats smile) and one ear twitched back, as if we both amuse and annoy him.

I've yet to see him roll his eyes. But he does do the huff of frustration when he doesn't get what he wants (extra dinner, dinner on time, the door opened, immediate undivided attenion).

*pets amused kitty, with a sardonic smile of my own. Hmm. I wonder where he got it....*

A few years ago I was visiting my friend Jennifer and while I was there, they had to change their older cat Caspar's wet food to something the vet prescribed to avoid UIs. Since the first few days they hadn't figured out a system yet to feed their cats separately, their other cat, Millicent, got the same wet food and she hated it. Actually, both of them did and refused to eat it for a couple of days.

And then, one evening, Millicent, who, having been a half-feral cat, was very shy and stayed away from humans as much as possible, left her domain on the ground floor, came up the stairs, walked into the kitchen, plonked her ass down in the middle of the room and went MEOW. You could just hear "Feed me now and something decent, too." in that one outraged sound.
