Hey Pet Parents & Pet Lovers,
There comes a time where every teenager needs to revolt against their parents, and Kalista is starting to show her true colours. As I mentioned last week, Kalista has always been a bit of a hider, which means that she’s not much of a lap cat. Although, when we were first planning on adopting Kalista, we were told that she would love sleeping with us every night.
While it’s true that there have been a few afternoons where I’m napping and I wake up with her between my legs, I would say the majority of the time she ignores me to nap in her cat tree. I mean, honestly, it’s also still very new that she’s consistently sleeping with Beau, when before it was only a few times a week.
This week, in particular, Kalista has taken a special interest in my partner. Whenever I come home she’s quiet and doesn’t usually come to greet me. But whenever he comes home, she gets excited, meowing at him persistently until he picks her up and pets her.
She’s actually letting him hold her now, without complaining at all. While, if I try to pick Kalista up, she refuses to stay in my arms, pushing against my body so she can get away.
I admit, I’m a bit jealous that they are getting along better than we are, but at the same time I’m glad my partner can experience the same things I experience with Beau with Kalista.
Hopefully soon Kalista completely warms up to both of us, so that way we can all get some kitty cuddles! I’m sure it’s going to happen soon! She’s growing so much fonder of us each day! What a little cutie.

October 16, 2018 at 10:46 pmMaybe your partner didn’t ‘try’ as hard to attract her so now she is ready to meet him on her own terms?
Hubby tries to ignore Pipo but he always goes there before checkg me out, and he for sure is only a Daddy’s lap kitty. Minko was mine back in the day, and they both were ‘gotted’ on the same day. Its a matter of chemistry and vibes, I am sure of that.
Pipo’s namesake (years ago my aunt had an oriental kitty), always had to get in my mom’s suitcase, and she did not particularly enjoy kitties…and though she never met Pipo or Minko, the other kitties here would always try to help with her knitting, or get on her lap when she was at our house.

October 17, 2018 at 1:27 amThat could definitely be it! I’ll try ignoring her more often. It’s so hard to do sometimes when she’s so cute!
That’s so cute to hear! I don’t usually mind when the cats get in the way unless it’s gaming… Then I get a bit annoyed that they’re sitting on my lap.

October 17, 2018 at 1:28 amThis made me laugh out loud. I’m so sorry they all like the hubby better! How dare they!

October 16, 2018 at 5:17 pmKalista, you are such a sweetheart. We think after some time she will be coming up to you and doing everything she does with your partner. It’s going to be a working process until she is up in your arms. Thanks for the share. Have a great day.
Johnny Salib says
October 16, 2018 at 5:48 pmNo problem for the share and I hope you’re right! I’m looking forward to some quality Kalista time

October 16, 2018 at 2:58 pmAngel favors The Hubby, paws down! And I’m okay with that. She allows me to play with her, pet her, pick her up, but when he comes around…all bets are off! On the flipside of that, The PO’M and Sweetie come to me, but hang back from The Hubby. Right now, Manny and CB take to both of us equally, yet I’m the one who leaves the house for longer periods of time.
(But Manny purred for ME before he purred for The Hubby, so there…)

October 16, 2018 at 2:07 pmthis might sound stupid, but I think kalista knows you “favor” beau….when boomer was
living, I truly believe dai$y knew my mom favored him….not on purpose; it just….was….

October 16, 2018 at 4:04 pmHahaha I agree with you. I think this may have to do with it.
