🐾 Meet Patches: The Calm Cat with a Curious Spirit
From silent stares to stealthy leg swishes, this fluffy feline keeps the family grounded—on his terms.
Patches has always had a curious soul—even from his early kitten days. There’s something almost philosophical about the way he watches the world around him, with his expressive eyes and furrowed brows. Sometimes it feels like he's silently judging us—but let’s be honest, he’s probably just wondering when the next Ciao Churu snack is coming. 😄
🚫 Walking? Hard Pass.
Chermaine, his devoted pawrent, tried introducing him to a harness from a young age—hoping to enjoy those dreamy cat-walks outside. But nope. Patches had other ideas. Every time the harness came on, he’d flop dramatically to the floor and refuse to budge. No pleading, treats, or bribes could change his mind. This is not a cat for strolls, thank you very much.
🧘♂️ The True Resident Therapy Cat
While he may not be a fan of strolls, Patches has become the emotional anchor of the household. His calm presence not only soothes the humans—but even the other family cats tend to mellow out when he’s around. It's no wonder he's earned the title of resident therapy cat. His quiet confidence, gentle aura, and predictable routines bring comfort to every being under that roof. 🐈⬛💕
👶 Big Brother Duties (On Feline Terms)
In recent months, Patches has taken on a whole new role—proud big brother to a baby (human!) sister. He often parks himself nearby, vigilantly watching over her, and has even been known to alert his pawrents before she cries. While his fellow fur-sibling has shown signs of second-child jealousy, Patches handles his new job like a seasoned pro—keeping a respectful distance after a minor tail-grab incident, but never too far.
🏡 Once Upon a Time... Next Door
Before the neighbours moved, they had the joy of living next to Patches for a time, and oh boy—he made himself right at home. He’d dash confidently into the house, hop onto unopened beds like royalty, and accept cuddles with regal grace. Ignore him for too long? You’d get a gentle swish across the leg—a subtle reminder that this cat demands (and deserves) attention.
He loved lounging by the window, eyes fixed on the outside world like a tiny contemplative monk. But show him a feather toy, and he’d go into full-on zoomie mode, channeling a wild side we had so much fun watching.
🕵️♂️ Investigator Mode: Activated
Once, while Chermaine was away, she gave Patches a call through her home camera—and that instantly activated his inner detective. 🕵️♀️
The moment he heard her voice, his ears perked up. With full investigative energy, he strutted over, inspected the screen closely, and—true to form—knocked the camera down for good measure.
Mystery solved. 😹
From mysterious stares to big-brother instincts, Patches is one of those rare cats who makes his presence known—without ever saying a word. And we wouldn’t have it any other way. ❤️
