My Favorite Things About Archie
- He greets me each and every morning. And if I sleep in too long, he cries… and if I still sleep in too long he begins to knock things over. And if I still sleep too long he races sideways through the house making a “greowl” sound: half growl, half meow. OK, so most of this behavior is actually kind of obnoxious. But all of these actions are rooted in his love for me and so I just find them all the more endearing.
- His purr-coos.
- His soft, soft fur.
- The way he waits for me at the screen door every single time I take the dogs out. Awww. Sweet.
- That he likes his belly rubbed.
- The way he sleeps on his back with all four paws in the air.
- His little games: whether he has a mouse toy, a bottle cap, or a paper clip, we are talking about hours of endless entertainment.
- The way he plays in the running water in the sink and the fact that he only likes the way I turn it on. He literally snubs the faucet when my husband attempts to turn on the water for him.
- That he comes when I call him and follows me around the house like a dog.
- His big, round eyes and his absolutely meek innocence. He embodies a sweetness that is impossible to describe.
