RE: He Likes to Snark
I taught him a lot of tricks (I listed them on another recent photo) and I did teach him to say a lot of things. I can also tell him to "count to ten" and he'll talk ten times in a row for a treat. I can get him to do up to fifteen, and anywhere between.
But imitating speech overall is just how he is.
I also believe in past lives, but Nova, I really believe that Nova is a young soul. Our kitten Comet, however, feels like an old soul.
Comet just knows and understands too damn much to be a young soul.
Nova's eyes are very analytical, intelligent, wise, and understanding, but that was through learning over the years and from the other cats and animals that've been in his life.
Our cat Tuxie, who recently passed, he was definitely an older soul. In fact, we think he might've been a friend of my grandmother's. Her friend, he always said that when he died he wanted to come back as a cat in our family's household, because the cats are spoiled rotten and very cared for.
There were just...odd similarities between Tuxie and my grandmother's friend. And her friend had been dead for quite some time before Tuxie was born to my uncle's cats.
aww in a way that is sweet that he wanted to come back as a cat. now Tuxie your soppssed Grandmother's friend. How did you get him?
I said in my last reply that he was born to my uncle's cats. He ended up mine after Cosmo (Tuxie's younger brother) lost his best friend and was refusing to eat and wasn't playing anymore (Cosmo was still a very young cat). So I ended up with Tuxie, and Tuxie and Cosmo became the best of friends.
Cosmo's the son of Tuxie's twin brother (except that Tuxie was a black and white tuxedo cat, and Cosmo's dad was a nearly-identical-in-markings ginger tabby tuxedo) and they ended up bonding as close as Tuxie had been to Cosmo's father.
And if you're wondering how I ended up with Cosmo, he was a birthday present when he was a kitten.
