Whenever I see our kitties or dogs laying down with their front paws crossed I like to think that they’re praying.

We just got home from SLC with Leo. He’s eating well and acting normally but is very confused about why he has to stay in a room by himself…for 2 weeks with only limited contact with the staff. The doctor who examined and treated him was so gentle and thorough. The techs texted me every day and reported on how he was doing. In about a month he goes back to our local vet for follow-up tests, then again 2 months after that.

Glad that Leo is better. I know our cats would not like being isolated from their humans and each other.
Funny Sheilah story, just now after lunch and from Church I sat down in my recliner. “Oh good, my man is back.” She jumped up and instead of settling down sniffed my arm in several places. “Where you been, you been touching other people?” Then she lay down for a nap.

We lost two of our kitties to cancer, Lovey and Frankie. We were catless for a short while, but couldn’t stand it. We went to a local no kill shelter and adapted Manny O and Sheelah.
I’d been feeding a feral mama cat and her litter in our old barn. The babies would scatter and hide wherever I came, all but one.
She would look me right in the eyes with her sweet face. Later when she was a little bigger and outside I would see her and a brother. He would dive right into the food bowl, but sister would rub all over my shoes while I gave her pets.
I told my wife about her. She said to bring her in the house. I put her in a carrier, when it was opened she sauntered out like she was home, no fear.
Anyway none of our cats care about people food except Biddy. She is not a hog but will insist on having a bit of smoked ham or bacon. Otherwise she prefers Cat Chow.
Funny creatures we have living with us.

A post on the less pleasant side of living with our fur friends - the litter box.
A couple of years ago I broke the plastic scoop. I bought a metal one at one of the big box pet stores. Much more expensive than the plastic ones, but worth every dollar.
