Floofology - lessons from Kambhoji

Earlier this year, I brought home a third kitten - Kambhoji. She was a beautiful, happy cotton ball who sometimes frowned upon the concept of personal hygiene.

It was devastating to lose her to feline panleukopenia in just a few months. I miss her every day, and decided to dedicate this post to the kitten that changed my life.

Kamboji had her own ideas of how the world works. She thought a lit diya was a harmless object she could eat, and carpets doubled up as litter boxes. She believed that she could steal the milk she wasn’t supposed to drink (she was lactose intolerant) by turning her back to me while doing it. She thought she could overcome someone’s allergic reaction to her by overpowering them with love.  So it only makes sense to honour her memory with a list of laws, theories, tips and principles Kamboji proposed in her lifetime.    

1.Rule of catouflage: if I can’t see them, they can’t see me.

2. If your hooman isn’t around, curl up with pictures of other hoomans

3. Life lesson: allow me to fix your mistakes. The correct spelling is skljfdlskjsdlkjagjklfd. 

4. Law of Kambhoji: homework will get you better grades after floofreading 

5. Scientific anomaly: snowballs can sometimes be found in Bangalore

6. Principle of thermeowdynamics: the warmest blanket in the house is mine.

7. Kamboji’s second law of reading: books are more interesting while read on the human’s lap

8. Medical tip: take long evening catwalks on Bindu’s shoulders for good health

9. Expert opinion: music is soothing to the ears

10. Don’t forget to give your musician some love and a kiss

11. Meowsings: Schrondinger’s cat would probably be alive if he checked for tuna in every bag

12. Be careful about the kind of mouse you eat

13. Observation: Patty cake requires good dexterity and hand eye coordination

14. When in doubt, curl up with your human

15. …and all love will be returned with interest
