I once met a very special cat called Zed. He was the smallest cat I’ve ever seen (really, he was miniature) but he had a huge personality. He would propel his little cream-coloured body around his owner’s house with astonishing speed and had that feline habit of appearing out of nowhere to stare at you with his globe-like green Burmese eyes. When he curled up on your belly (or head), his purr thrummed through his entire body. It was as if he had a guitar inside him.
Zed was pretty unique just as he was, but he could also dance. His signature move was what my sister called the pony dance. It usually happened around dinner time, though he sometimes just seemed to do it for the hell of it. The pony dance involved much leaping about – like a pony bucking – and strange diagonal prancing. Zed looked as if he was performing some kind of hyperactive dressage or circus routine.
Sadly, I never caught the dance on camera.
If you ever see a tiny cream-coloured cat busting some crazy moves on Youtube, please let me know!
*So that concludes my A to Z(ish) Challenge. It sure was a challenge. It sure took way longer than I’d thought. What did I learn? Well, I learnt that D is for discipline, J is for just sit down and do it for god’s sake! M is for mental blocks galore and P is for persistence/procrastination. D could also be for deadline, which I missed by about 3 months…umm…But to be frank I’m impressed that I got all the way to Z – who knew that the English alphabet could feel so long!
