She never lets her dad forget 😹😻By Caitlin Jill Anders
Published on 9/2/2020 at 3:56 PM
Selina was adopted into her family after she was abandoned, and ever since then, her dad has always been her favorite person.
He loves to carry her around like a baby, Divya Krishnan, Selinas family member, told The Dodo.
Selina and her dad have always had a special bond and love doing things together, and one night after he arrived home from work, they accidentally created a fun game that has now become their nightly routine.
Selina was relaxing in a box, one of her favorite activities, when her dad decided he needed to move the box. Rather than make Selina move, he just pulled the box to where it needed to be with Selina still inside it and she absolutely loved it.
He wanted to move the box one night while she was in it and then next minute she was in the box having the time of her life so now he always keeps at least two boxes upstairs for her to have a ride, Krishnan said.

Now, Selina and her dad have a nightly routine. She waits at the door for him to come home from work, then follows him upstairs and waits for him to get changed. Once hes ready, she hops into her box and he pulls her around for a while. Its the perfect way to end the day, and Selina refuses to ever go without it.
It always happens in the evening, same time, Krishnan said.

If, for some reason, it seems like her dad isnt going to engage in the routine or if hes taking a little too long, Selina meows and meows until he gets the point. She loves their routine too much to ever let him forget.
Selina loves her dad so much and loves being able to do something special with him every night. Of course, Selinas dad loves her right back, and enjoys their routine just as much as she does. Theyve always had a special bond, and her dad will do anything to make Selina happy.

He could buy her a Roomba to ride on when he's not home - but maybe she just enjoys being pulled around in her box by her human.

Sammy and Rosie enjoy the ride. Maybe it's a female cat thing?

Animals are so quirky! We have two large dogs--Poodles and what a duo. They make up new games all the time. Without their antics our stress level would surely be worse than it is with the thin-skinned-orange-faced demon trying to take over our nation.
