Now a mature 14 years old. I write a lot about dogs, and Henry told me that I need to include him more often as he&#8217;s smarter than they are. Okay, Henry, it&#8217;s your turn.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike many cats, Henry loves to be held. And nothing scares him. If a friend&#8217;s dog comes into the house, Henry will march right up to him. (Not always a great idea.) But thinking about this, it&#8217;s kind of smart to be like the thing you don&#8217;t like. If a dog is pushy, Henry is pushier. If they&#8217;re brave, he stands his ground. If our dog gets too much attention, Henry walks up to him and bites him in the leg. This is a ten-pound cat taking on Rudy, a 70 pound dog. No problem. If things get too rough, he goes under the couch.<\/p>\n<p>Henry sleeps a lot, as do most cats. He sheds over everything. If I wear black, I have his white fur on me. If I wear white, Rudy&#8217;s black fur tracks me down. He is always in the mood for a treat. And he likes to be where we are. His last word or best advice:\u00a0 take a nap when you&#8217;re tired. Find the hottest place in the house if possible. Closets rule. Stretch out. Take over. The world is your oyster!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is Henry, a cat who thinks he&#8217;s a dog. Now a mature 14 years old.
