Human:
Tarquin's favorite activity: rubbing his face on us and purring. He might be the least shy cat I've met to date. His second favorite activities are purr-purr-BITE and "let's walk right next to someone and wrestle their leg while they're walking." These are not my favorite games, but we're working on it.
Cat:
People are great! They seem grateful for my ownership. I put my scent on them from my face parts, and they reward me with pettings! But they seem constantly surprised when we wrestle. I do not understand.

Human:
I picked him up for a hug the other night and he thought it was an invitation to full-contact wrestling. When I put him down, he jumped at my waist. This would be hilarious if I could get him to keep his teeth and claws out of it.
Cat:
Lady Human picked me up in a standing tackle! Obviously an invitation to wrestle! When placed back on the floor, I returned the gesture by leaping magnificently into the air like a panther. Lady Human laughed. I let it go this time.
Human:
Luckily, he's developing an interest in one of the fishing pole type toys we have. It kind of looks like a fuzzy worm with ribbons and a bell. The others just don't grab his attention. It's gotten a bit more ragged and shredded every day because he just gets so into it, but he still loves it. The bell came off after a day, the ribbons are starting to get shredded.
Cat:
Fuzzy Worm comes alive! It is the best! I must take it apart piece by piece to see where its essence lives. I will eat that essence and absorb its power. The bell came off but did not make any difference. Further study is needed.

For such a high-energy cat, Tarquin is a pretty good nap companion. I was ill over the weekend and spent a lot of time sleeping, and he spent a good chunk of time napping with me. He can be a well-behaved little dude when he wants to be.
Sometimes humans are lazy and sleep all day for no reason. It's okay, I like naps too.
