two cats, two facets of me

Ludwig's been making me feel guilty lately, on purpose. It's working. I spend more time with Smiles Davis than him. I have so many more pictures of Smiles. But that's mostly because he doesn't move too much and his eyes are very photogenic.



(those aren't warts on my knee)
He's easier to deal with because he doesn't shed as much when I pet him and then when I touch my face afterwards it doesn't itch for an hour. He's also deaf, so he has the personality of being disabled: he doesn't complain much and is thankful. Ludwig is greedy and wants more and more, but look at Smiles in the above photo and his look of gentle detachment.



Now look at Ludwig. See that intense yearning in his eyes and doesn't it make you a bit uncomfortable. When he wants me to pet him he twists himself sexily on his back while seductively staring at me. Sometimes it's cute, other times it's creepy.

I really love Ludwig and I love his neediness. In fact, I relate a lot to it. Sometimes I behave like this, like when I say Mark's name over and over and pick out pieces of dandruff from his hair. Like when I can't think of anything to write about, and so I write about Mark and his cat and my cat.

But, I also relate to Smiles' dreamy disengaged from reality feelings. Like when people are talking to me but I can't make my brain listen. Like when everyone is dancing, but I can't stop trying to make my mind pretend that I'm an evangelical Christian and how would an evangelical Christian train of thought go. What could I be thinking? I could not think like that!

Have you dated a Ludwig? Have you dated a Smiles? Ludwig would have black hair. Smiles could have black, light brown, or blonde hair. Ludwig would plan things and pay for everything and be very romantic, so much that it might make you nauseous. He would be very dramatic during sex and go down on you for a long time. It would involve a lot of show-offy tongue acrobatics and twisting. Smiles would be very fun and willing to learn, but he wouldn't worry that much about you and you might think it's because he doesn't really care. He also would like to be the spoonee and not the spooner.

They could be anime characters. Smiles would do that big eyes big mouth high pitched screaming thing a lot, and Ludwig would have long eyes and wisps of hair in his face.
