James and Sylvester, or Vester, as James calls him have a unusual relationship. It basically involves James annoying Vester like crazy and Vester being as loyal and as loving as any cat can be. We got Vester as a tiny kitten when James was only 6 months old and James doesn't know a day without him. He has declared that Vester loves him so much and I think that James really believes Vester likes being wrestled like a sumo wrestler.
Some of you may remember that Vester is not that smart. Or he didn't seem to be in the past. He just had weird strange cat behaviors. But, as he has grown up a little bit he is acting much more like a true cat. He is beautiful to look at and I love that he is so sweet to James.
The other day James had to stand in the corner for some minor infraction. He was standing there looking forlorn and Vester studied the situation and then went and stood by James in the corner. He stayed with James until I told him (them) they could get out.
It was so sweet it almost made up for the time Vester tee-teed on me.
Almost.
Awww, that's precious! I wish my cats had been that sweet!

ReplyDeleteOkay. How many people have to get locked in your bathroom before Mark FIXES THAT DOOR!?!
I'm setting up a paypal account so we can all donate to the door fund.
Ha we had to give our cat away today b/c he bit Christopher and he HAD to go. Glad your kitty is patient, ours was mean as a snake
ReplyDeleteLike everyone else, that is very sweet. Lucky to get a cat that will take all that, most are too independent and share their little claws, when offended.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet story!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Hope ya'll are staying warm. I HATE this weather! ROLL TIDE (I'm watching THE game).
ReplyDeleteThat's adorable, sounds like James as (in his own way) "tamed" the cat :)
ReplyDeleteVERY sweet post. I love the relationships that form between children and animals. So sweet!
ReplyDeleteThey look so sweet together!
ReplyDeleteHey MamaHen, thanks for commenting on my SCL post today! Cute pics here. Hope to see you around again!
ReplyDeletehow sweet! i hope when i get another cat, its as sweet as Vester! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is simply adorable. Completely and truly adorable. I wish Ali and Oreo would be like that, but they're pretty much indifferent to each other.
ReplyDeleteVery sweet photo, and that was really sweet of little Vester. I'm allergic to cats so not overly fond of them, but that would make me think about letting the little guy have a can of tuna or something. ;)
