00:00 She only loves me, who is Peanuts.
00:01 Hi Peanut.
00:02 She's part of the family, but I'm the only one she actually cares about.
00:05 We are Emma and Will, and this is Peanut's story for GeoBeats.
00:10 I found her in Texas, available to adopt.
00:13 Come Peanut.
00:14 From the first moment we had her,
00:17 she was absolutely in love with her daddy.
00:20 We introduced her very slowly to our other cats, and she did not like them.
00:25 It's okay, come here.
00:28 Really the only person that she has ever liked is him.
00:31 Yes.
00:32 The reason she was put up for adoption is,
00:33 several years ago, she had that big freeze down in Texas.
00:36 And apparently her family's house got damaged from that, so they couldn't keep her.
00:39 So that's why we ended up with her.
00:41 Emma picked her up in New Jersey.
00:44 Come here, sweetie.
00:45 I was talking to her, she was hiding.
00:46 Hi.
00:47 She wouldn't come out for me.
00:48 He came into the room, laid down on the floor, and she immediately came out.
00:53 But she says it's because I'm a Southern boy,
00:56 and that's why we have that connection, because I'm from Brooklyn, Ohio originally.
00:59 And that's why as soon as she heard that voice, she said, "Oh, it's one of my people."
01:02 You do love him, don't you?
01:04 Ever since then, she's just been bonded to me.
01:06 Oh, you're coming to say hello to me.
01:07 Hi.
01:08 Can I pet you?
01:09 I tried so hard.
01:10 I bought her all of these new toys.
01:12 I bought her a special princess unicorn bed.
01:15 I was giving her treats.
01:16 Do you want this?
01:17 I was doing everything I could to get her to like me and relax.
01:22 Oh, are you going to fall down?
01:24 And it didn't matter.
01:25 She does not like me.
01:26 Peanut.
01:26 You want it?
01:28 Peanut.
01:30 Hi, Peanut.
01:32 She doesn't want me to pet her.
01:33 Oh, sorry.
01:34 If I pick her up, she yells at me.
01:36 Even if I'm feeding her treats, she'll growl while she's eating them.
01:39 Like, "Okay, I want the treats, so I'll take them."
01:43 But I'm not happy about it.
01:44 Can you be nice to me, please?
01:45 I'm giving you treats.
01:46 Don't snack me.
01:51 She likes to walk on you, but you're not allowed to touch her when she does that.
01:54 She's like a paramilitary Barbie princess.
01:56 The list of things she doesn't like is very long.
01:58 She doesn't like people coming into the house.
02:00 His sister came over with her dog once, and I didn't think anything of it.
02:04 And then Peanut attacked the other dog because he was in our house.
02:07 There was a squirrel in the theater, and she like stood up on her back legs
02:12 and tried to like smack the squirrel through the window.
02:14 She does know when he comes home from work, like what time.
02:20 And she'll wait by the door for him to come home.
02:23 If it's getting later and she hasn't seen him, then she'll start to look for him.
02:26 She'll go over and like, "Is he in the bathroom? Is he in the other room?"
02:29 You do that when mommy comes home?
02:33 No.
02:35 She really likes being talked to.
02:36 It's interesting.
02:37 If you tell her she's a pretty girl, it makes her happy.
02:39 You can see her relax.
02:40 We've had her for about three years now.
02:42 I'm trying to follow her cues and give her affection the way that she likes it.
02:46 I just want to be her friend.
02:47 [laughing]
02:55 Oh, I'm sorry.
02:56 I'm sorry.
02:58 You're just, I'm so sorry.
03:00 You're just, you're so mean to everybody.
