Beautiful Cat



This is Shorts, as a young cat.

It is a constant puzzle to me that some people don't like cats. I can almost understand it if they have cat allergies, but even then, not really.

Dogs are good pets. They seem to want to be your companion all the time. And it's as if You always come first. I find it a little smothering. Cats are more like another person who has his own interests, but shares some of yours (like reading the newspaper and working in the garden), and they usually have a time of day when they want to be near you and show affection. And when they do cuddle, they are the right size and suppleness to snuggle softly and bonelessly. Even a cat-sized dog is poky and bony and rigid compared to a cat cuddle. I am a big admirer of cats.

I'll even accept the wisdom in this quotation:

Sir Henry Morgan - “People with insufficient personalities are fond of cats. These people adore being ignored.”

The computer is fixed, and i've listed 3 sets of Band O Silver beads and 3 new pumpkin guys, and a floral pair and focal.

Crazy Cat Lady



I love cats. I understand that there are some fairly unlovable kitties out there and that perhaps the people who DON'T like cats have only had the misfortune of running into those few cats that have had bad kittenhoods.

My teenaged son gave me this magnet with the crazy cat lady on it and lots of little metal kitties to climb up and over her. I think he was trying to tell me something.

We don't often see all of our cats in the same room at the same time, but i caught the moment on film today as they feasted and lounged in the sunroom. All boys. They were all strays that popped up at various times over the past ten years and needed us. I really did triy to say no to the last one, but there he sits in the forefront, a testament to my weakness. Obviously i'm a sucker for a whiskery face.
