I was told that when Gil was "fixed" he'd probably mellow out. Uh, no. In fact, I think it wound him up even more! He's happy to run around the apartment, jumping up the door frames and spinning circles inside his tent. He also reminds me of the fish on "Finding Nemo" that is obsessed with bubbles. My cats' water dish is the type with the container full of water on top and it trickles into a bowl. When new water is being "let go" it makes bubbles go up into the resevoir and Gilbert LOVES to try and catch them. He'll bat at the container and stick his paws inside the bowl to try and grab them. He's even discovered that if he moves the top part/bottle, it'll create these bubbles. On occasion he will get a little carried away and knock the entire thing over and spill usually an entire bottle of water all over the place ... cats, gotta love them.
Gil is a very loving and affectionate cat. Though at times he gets way too excited and will use his teeth to show just how much he loves and adores you. But his favorite place to sleep is on the pillow beside my face. If he can't see my face (as I have turned over and have my back to him) he will actually get up and move to the other side of the bed just so he can see me. This is the typical Saturday morning game as he is trying to wake me up to feed him and his sister. Oh! and he hates to be alone. If I'm not in the room or am leaving a room he is in, he will stop what he's doing or even wake up from his cat nap and follow me to wherever I'm going. True story!
Another Bubbs quirk ... he loves to talk. He's a chatterbox and this morning in fact he found himself trapped in the tub behind the shower curtain as he was wanting to drink the water since his bowl was empty. *side note: I did fill their water bowl before leaving for work, so they are well taken care of* When he realized he would have to touch the water covered curtain he just sat in the tub and meowed and meowed. I told him I was about to go fill his bowl so he better figure a way out. Of course he found his motivation when I left the bathroom.
I love Gilbert. At times he drives me bonkers, but he's the most quirkie, affectionate, hilarious and adorable cat I've ever had. Never knew a cat could have that much personalility! If you were to come visit, and you should, he would be all over you in an instant; wanting to meet you and smell your breath. You heard me, smell your breath. If you were to blow in his face (LIGHTLY! like you were trying to cool down soup) he would put his little pink nose right up to your mouth so he can know you better.
Just beware, when you are walking around the apartment, he will jump out and grab your legs and then run away like you're supposed to chase him. Oh and as I mentioned before, he's a biter, but its all in the name of love according to him.
So, Bubbs, my little lovebug, you are one crazy little kitty, but I love and adore you! Never change!
