B&B in Sardinia
Sa Ruxi
I am Sa Ruxi and this is my story. By chance I was wandering
by the Alchimissa B&B, when some unknown power
pushed me towards its entrance. Rumours suggested life was good
there and I wanted to check, so I thought something up. As soon
as I saw Lucia walk past in the garden, I cried out as loudly as
I could so she would feel sorry for me, thinking
I was hungry and she would let me in.
Actually, I had already decided
I would live there, among the sweet-smelling flowers and the other
cats. I am no loner! I was so happy when she
opened the gate and picked me up!
Deep inside I was determined that she would never get rid of me.
I do pander a bit and I have devised a number of strategies to conquer
human beings.
They think they are so clever but we cats are far cleverer than
they are. We lie shamelessly and they don’t even realise. Machiavelli's
words - the end justifies the means -
guide us. We do not mean to harm anybody, of course, but
we must survive somehow! I was called Sa Ruxi after an attractive
bay near here.
The name means
“Red One” in some unknown language – maybe it is an ancient name.
Lucia and Vale thought
I was a girl, until the vet told them the opposite and operated
me! By the way, Sa Ruxi is pronounced Sa Ruji, with a Brazilian
“j”.
