Since I've never lived with a cat before, I wasn't sure what to expect when my boyfriend and Cocoa moved in with me six months ago. But as we've gotten to know each other she has stolen my heart.
I have nicknamed her "Little Cat", because she is quite small. She is cute and curious, and makes me laugh at times. Like when she darts around the house for no apparent reason and the sounds her feet make on the carpet are like a horse on the racetrack. Or when she licks me and forgets to put her tongue back in her mouth.

Sometimes she acts like a dog as she follows me around the house.
And while I have been told that "she's not a very affectionate cat", I've found that she tolerates hugs and kisses from me (to a point, as you can expect from a cat), and often talks back to me, sometimes with very loud meows. As we're heading into winter I'm finding that she comes to sit with me, and I often wake up to her sleeping at my feet or by my side. As I write this, from my bed, she is cuddled at my feet.
Of course this affection could all be because I give her "yum yums" - a spoon of cat meat - as a treat every evening. Either way, she has brought great joy to my life.
