Let Me Introduce My Friend Tramp

Just so you know, this is me, Hobo.

It’s been a while readers since Shadows left the computer alone long enough to let me run my paws over the keyboard. I think she’s kind of jealous of my writing style. She’s also been home a lot too, which I am not going to complain about. If I had my way, she would never go out the door, her place is here, tending to my needs. Well, mine and Tramp’s.

Have I told you about Tramp? I don’t think so.

After I lost my best buds, Dawn and Fawnya I was really sad. Shadows was too. She gave me extra cuddles which I think was as much about her needing the company as me needing it. It was a win win. Not a win-win-win-win like her friend @dreemsteem likes to have but you know, I’m not as big as her so she’s just going have to be happy with what I’m happy with. I used to do some writing for Dreem, I think she gets me.

It was really hard for me when Shadows left the house. I really hated being alone, it made me really sad all over again and a little bit scared. What if Shadows didn’t come back? I’d be all alone, who would feed me or do my litter box? Well, and cuddle me too, cause I do like those cuddles.

Now, I have to say here. As much as I love Shadows — she can be a bit slow at times. It took me chasing her through the house, trying to grab her arm in a useless attempt at stopping her from leaving. I had to do it over and over before she realized, I wasn’t playing, I was scared and anxious.

To her credit, she got on the job. Wasn’t long after she came in with a strange looking box she called a carrier. She set it on the floor and opened it. I looked inside and, be still my heart, there was a kitten looking at me. She ran past me and up the stairs, hunkering down on the top step when she couldn’t go anywhere else.

This was her first day, she's hiding on the stairs

I approached her slowly and tried to make friends but she was pretty scared. It was okay, I’d just wait a bit. After a while Shadows brought the treats out, set a few on each step and then put a bunch part way down the stairs and walked away.

Newbie in the house or not, I was not missing out on treats, it was every cat for herself. As I ran up the stairs to the waiting treats, she ran down them and we shared. It was that easy to make friends with her. We bonded over Temptations.

We explored the house together and I showed her around. Now, she was cozy with me and we played but only as long as Shadows stayed in one place. Tramp, as Shadows called her, was having no part of my human. Not even close, Shadows stood up and Tramp ran away to hide. It was a big deal when she started watching Shadows and I snuggling, from a distance. She wasn’t taking my word that Shadows was a friend, nope, no way.

I heard Shadows say that it’s been almost two years Tramp has been here. Whatever two years is, I guess it will mean something to you. Tramp and I are still good friends. I think we will be buds for life. In the last while she has started coming around Shadows more. I guess Tramp decided that it’s not a bad idea to cozy up to the person who brings you food every day and cleans the litter box up.

Shadows has been really patient with her. She just lets Tramp come to her and ask for petting and oh, those scratches between the ears. OH I love when she does that.. I have her well trained on them, I just put my head down and she knows to give me the scratches. I’ve trained her so well, Tramp doesn’t have to even ask, she just does it for her.

See, we're buddies now.

OH OH … here comes Shadows wanting the computer. I guess I better say bye for now. I hope she will put this up where you can see it. I’ll try to get back to see you soon.

OH P.S. I’ve been listening to my friend Dreem talking in something called meetings… I like what she always does at the end… so… BYEEEEEE!

My Hobo cat was also a brown tabby. Do you talk a lot, too?

I do talk sometimes but more often I let my actions speak for me, like when I tap Shadows on the face in the morning until she wakes up to feed me. She knows I am relentless.

My Hobo was a talker and liked to tap her forehead against mine. She also had a very expressive tail. Her loudest and most insistent demands were for an evening gooshy food treat we made a sort of tradition, though. She always had dry food in a bowl, and had the self-restraint to not be a glutton.

Evening food treat? Shadows feeds us wet food in the morning and leaves dry food out the rest of the day. She doesn't feed us in the evening... hmmm seems she needs more training.

Perhaps leaving dead rodents by the door near sunset would get the idea across?

Rodents? OH those live toys that Tramp likes to play with. She doesn't get very many but it's fun to watch her play. Reminds me of my buddy Fawnya, he loved playing with them too. Shadows takes them away when they don't move anymore.

Byeeeee? Come on, young lady. We've heard alot about you. You are a big shot amongst your kind. Can't wait to watch you eating those Sweeet baked stuffs 😂.

You've got our Senior Momma all to yourself, getting all the hugs from her and enjoying the company of Tramp.

Continue cruising with the walls of our Super lady in the shadows

Hi Kene.. I think that is what Shadows calls you. She doesn't eat sweet baked stuffs which is good cause she would not share them with me. Shadows feeds us well, although I have learned recently that some cats get their humans to feed them in the evening and the morning. I need to work on that, having food available all day cuts down on my being attended to.

OHHH My Dreeemie ... I think of you often. I also watch when Shadows is chatting with you, she thinks I'm sleeping. But, I know things. And thank you for not believing that I do bad things, having fun should never be bad. Just cause I knock the mouse down away from the computer or turn over a coffee cup. Shadows shouldn't be drinking so much any ways and why did she get a cup with cats on if she didn't want me to play with them?

Two sides to every story. Thank you for telling mine.

Hello. This is lovely. So happy Hobo got a chance to get some quality time in for writing. I hate rush jobs, so I know this was a treat. Sounds like a lot needed to be told. Good that you hit the "publish" button.

Until next time, take care, Hobo.

Nice to meet you justclickdiva ... sometimes Shadows needs to remember just who is in charge and it's not her.

Bonded over temptation, huh?
I'm glad Shadows is taking good care of you both so you don't have to fight over her attention or treats. Take care of your new friend, she seems a little shy ok?

HI Hazem... Temptations are really tasty kitty treats that Shadows gives us sometimes. Sometimes I have to give her a hint.. you know like knocking the container over when she's looking and then looking at her with sad eyes. Sometimes she's not very swift to pick up those hints.

Hello, Miss Hobo! What a fabulous thing to find in my Feed, a wonderful note from you! I haven't seen any posts from the Shadows' household in a long time even though I am following her, so thank you for taking the time to write! I always loved hearing the story about how you came to live with Shadows, and it was great fun to hear your telling us the stories of Tramp, too! I am glad that you are good friends and you can share the yummy Temptations treats with her! Sharing with someone you love is fun! You have such big, beautiful eyes, and the stripe down Tramp's little face is adorable — you two could be kitty models! 😸

hi Kittygirl... it has been a while. Yeah, Shadows hasn't been doing much writing. Maybe she will write more now that I have upstaged her. Shadows keeps saying I have a big personality whatever that is. I'm just me and I like to have a bit of fun, even a bit of mischief. OH Tramp learned from me how to shut the computer down, so now Shadows has to watch out for both of us.

Hmm models.. That could be interesting to get across to Shadows.. but I don't think Tramp would go for it, she barely puts up with Shadows.

Hi @edprivat I saw your post about the torti. Yes my buddy Tramp is one. Shadows thinks I'm sleeping all the time when I'm laying on her, she doesn't know that is when I get my reading done. I'm kind of a smart kitty sometimes.

Shadows says that Tortis are incomplete Calico cats, their colouring doesn't quite develop. Complete or incomplete, I'm just glad to have Tramp's company and friendship.

That's what life is about, the friendships! Otherwise we are just mindless drones, or robots.
