things i have learned about lulu

• she is very playful, but gentle. i like to rough house with her a little tiny bit, and she bites very gently and purrs very loudly.
• she's starting to respond to the name lulu.
• she will indeed come running when i shake the kitten treat box.
• she knew exactly what that bag of food was, and meowed until i opened it and fed her.
  
• then she took a giant poop in the bathtub; proving that she's smarter than the average cat. i put the litter box in there after that, so she'll use it. other than that, i'm not exactly sure how one goes about encouraging litter box use! if you have tips, please leave them.
• she likes catnip.
• she's a fan of yarn and yarn balls and things being knit.
• she talks back when you ask her a question.
• she seems to like everyone in the house, but she follows me around.
• if she's not in my lap, she's under my seat.
  
• she really, really digs a good head scratch.

i have really missed having a cat around. there's something very rewarding about having a cat like you, because you know damn good and well they could do just as well without you. when i found her this afternoon, she was sitting out by the house i saw her near last, and when i walked out there and asked her what she was doing, she just meowed at me. that made me laugh, and i kept saying, "come over here!" and she kept meowing, until i crouched down and then she came running. we had a good pet, then i started walking toward the house and she just followed me in. it's hokey, finding a stray and thinking, "OMG! kitten!" but damn. i'm a hokey girl, evidently.
