Eric is to blame for my current
dilemma. Do I risk getting another cat? It has been years since my last
disastrous experience with Eric but the pain has not diminished and the fear
that another monster cat is great. Even mentioning the possibility of getting
another has my best friend shaking her head. Her strategy is to supervise my
potential purchases and literally ‘move me along to the next cage’ if she is
concerned that my choice might turn out to be Hannibal Lecter in a cat suit.
My dream of
owning a cat has always been to have a cuddly furry friend that would sit on my
lap when I watched TV, that would look into my eyes adoringly and that would
purr all day with satisfaction at being part of my loving family.
What I got with
Eric the Monster Cat was a cat that basically hated people, other cats, insects
and birds, in fact any living creature. A cat that broke ornaments, attacked
small children and chewed light fittings. A cat that preferred sitting in the
fridge rather than on our laps and that would rather attack the occupants of
our house than defending them from harm. He was the genuine cat from hell.
So do I try
again?? Wish me luck, next weekend I will summon up my courage and bring along
my friend to keep me in check and brave another cat encounter.
