Sometimes cats, very much like people, seem to have their own personal agendas. Some want to be petted, some want to be part of every conversation, some wish to be left alone to meditate upon how very fine it is to be feline.
Aiden, the gray cat in our household, has made it his life's goal, and indeed his personal mission to be a speed bump.
Never try to run anywhere in the house. It doesn't matter if you are rushing to stir a bubbling pot or dashing in to get out of the rain, you will never go more than five steps before your foot collides with something soft, furry, and surprisingly immobile. What momentum you built will be completely lost as you windmill to regain your balance.
On the rare occasions when he is not in place to slow your progress, he will appear from nowhere and race to get ahead of you, then stop. He takes his work as traffic control very seriously.
At all other times Aiden is a laid back, zen-like cat. He likes everyone, will tolerate just about anything, and is generally just a happy, if slightly stoned looking cat. Unless you speed in his precinct.
