Enough with the cat pictures

A cat is a cat...

“Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.”

The calico in back is sitting on my lap right now as I'm typing.

Same thought I had, when I saw that. Especially poignant, for me, right now, as just yesterday my calendar reminded me it was this little guy's birthday

and he crossed over the Rainbow Bridge about a year ago, well before his time

The memory is painful, particularly as he was about the sweetest little kitteh you could ever hope to know, but his birthday will stay in my calendar.

Never realized the impact on emotions a cat could have being a dog owner mostly, that is until my wife brought a little fella home to keep me company the last few years. They do have a special place in life for me now. I can understand how you feel at your loss..

We have always had cats, and all kept us company, in the past couple of years all our felines have passed away. The only cat left here now, is my tomcat and buddy, who is an outside cat and up in years.

But I know there will always be a cat around this place and me.

I've had a number of cats throughout the years and never understood the reputation they got as aloof and uncaring. Every cat I've ever had has had a huge personality and has been great company. I'm sure I'll have another one down the road.

I need to get me a cat. It's been too long.
