Cats are so strange though, you'd think they are the essence of self preservation but they seem to take a perverse liking to people who really don't care for them much at all. We had a neighbours cat that adopted us, much to the neighbours annoyance. I'm more of a dog lover, but that cat used to follow me everywhere. When I was weeding he would head butt me all the time, wind around my legs, even jumping on my back. The more I tried to get rid of him, the more he persisted. Eventually I sort of got fond of him. In a way. Well, I stopped running after him and trying to kick him. I'd say I even petted him once or twice, absent mindedly. Stupid cat.
