I am wondering... how do you manage to provide love and attention when you have more that one cat?
I mean, I feel I am in this place where I can't help but have a special cat (in my avatar). I would do anything to provide her the best quality of live and I am a sucker (can I use this word?) for her attention. She is my first cat and she is used to sleep on me or to sit in my arms while I am using the laptop. She follows me around everywhere and we have this sort of conversation that we both get - I say "Sophie, come eat" and she comes tail up and then I say, "Sophie, we have to go to the vet" and she runs under the couch.
And then there are Harley and Amelie, both adorable, Harley purrs 90% of the time and Amelie is a shy, still a bit feral cat. I really do want them to feel the same love and to benefit of the same amount of attention that Sophie receives, but I sometimes have to make conscious decisions to pet them if I feel that they didn't receive enough attention.
So basically I just don't want Harley and Amelie to feel left out in any way, and I feel guilty for feeling that Sophie is special.
Mu question is: do you provide equal amount of love and attention to all the furry beings in your home or do you have favorites?
