Frazier was the coolest cat I ever knew (me!) sandra, tvgp
and when it's time to say goodbye, our minds fill with a variety of memories..
the first memory to show up for me is, .. because I have a slight allergy to cats.. I couldn't necessarily pet Frazier like I was inclined. We agreed to eskimo kiss instead.. and he seemed to catch on so easily.
My next very pronounced memory.. being home-schooled by Frazier in less than three days.
yes. without ever saying one word, Frazier's body language and looks were so precise, and I was such a skilled translator apparently, that, in under 3 days, I learned exactly what to do
Like, Frazier would walk toward the stairs, and I knew immediately, I should rush up the stairs ahead of him so I could open the door to my bedroom.
He'd strut up to my bedroom door like I walk toward the door at a grocery store; with complete confidence that it would just automatically open
and after i automatically opened the door for him, he would strut toward my bed, and i knew immediately, I should hurry and open the blinds
After I hurriedly opened the blinds, he would jump up on my bed and keep staring at me
And immediately I knew I had to not only open the blinds, but pull them all the way up
"ta daa!" you have a complete view out the window now
but then Frazier would look at the cord and back at me
-and I knew immediately! that the cord was some sort of annoyance, and I needed to get it out of the way.
I looked at Frazier again, like, "ta daa!" the blinds are open and pulled up all the way. you have a complete view out of the window, the cord has been tucked away...
and I would smile at Frazier, and Frazier would look at me
and I knew immediately! and so I would say,
"May I now be excused sir Frazier?"
and he would turn his head to look out the window and I would leave my own bedroom, just like that.

I always left shaking my head.. how did he just do that? He gets me to do the same thing every time and doesnt even speak a word of English...
