7 - Cassandra S: My Crazy Cat


I do not understand her. She is crazy, bipolar almost. Moodswings is her middle name for she is lovely and playful one moment and ready to attack you for stepping in the same room as her the next. 


Cloudy, green, and yellow, her eyes tell a mysterious story. Her cheeks puff out as her temper flairs and rises, revealing her messy tan mustache. I feel her tail twitch in front of my face like she's trying to push me away. I best flee before her claws bare themselves.


She always runs with her legs flailing beneath her through our house. She’s a Nascar driver on our hardwood floor, even drifting, and a couple of times crashing and burning into a chair. It’s funny. We laugh and she darts away.


Jinx does not like to be laughed at. In fact, she is probably more self-conscious than I am. She doubts herself. She can jump so far, but a lot of the time she gets in her head about her being able to make it. The instant before she leaps, you can see the doubt on her face as her form flails out of control and she belly flops to the ground. We try not to laugh, but it's funny that she’s such a headcase.


Often, I wonder if she would have preferred being a turtle rather than a cat.

  1. Your cat is my literal spirit animal. From the mood swings to self consciousness, I greatly relate to Jinx. Additionally, Jinx is very adorable. I love how you compared her to a NASCAR driver and how she drifts on your floors. Thanks for sharing your pet, Cassie! Amazing job!

  2. Hi Casandra
    Your cat is so adorable! Even though Jinx is only a cat I feel like your description of him would be me as a cat but maybe a bit extra moody and crazy. I had a dog that would bump into walls also the time too! I thought your post was so descriptive and really gave us an inside look into your cat but it is also hilarious! Such a fun read, thank you :) Great work!

  4. Oh my Gosh I knew I had to look at your blog because it said cat on it and i'm crazy obsessed with cats. Your cat shares the same similarities as mine but thats probably because they're all just crazy in general. She looks so fluffy and cute!
