If you don't know this about me, you must not know me... and for those of you who do, this comes as no shocker: I love cats!
Since an early age, I've been a huge felinophile. (I just made that up.) The very first cats I remember having were Princess and Muffin. I was maybe 4 or 5, I think. Since then, I can't remember a time in my life that I didn't have cats. They just enthrall me so! And don't get me started on kittens. I want to kiss them, hug them, eat their faces off!
Currently we have ELEVEN kittens! Before you sic PETA on me, let me explain. We live out in the country and our outdoor cats are "barn cats" but are spoiled rotten. I have friends who tell me they can't believe they are outdoor cats because they look so clean and healthy. Anyway, we have a gazillion dog houses for them and they are quite pampered for "mousers."
So lately I will tell my family that I am going outside to do something and not come back for half an hour because I will just sit and watch the kittens play. Is this something normal 27-year-old's do? If not, I'm in trouble.
And then, there's our indoor cat whose name is Koala, but we always call her "gray kitty." Why is she so lucky to get to be inside? Well, she's a genius! She housebroke herself to the doggy door and we have no litter box inside! She will either use the doggy door or wait by the back door and meow. Can't beat that!
Below you will see three pictures that show my lifelong love affair with cats. Two are from when I was like 3 or 4 and the other is my senior picture. Enjoy!
Watching kittens play is endlessly entertaining!!
ReplyDeleteI knew there was a reason I adore you! Not sure if you notice that I love cats too. HA HA. I grew up with 6 cats and never been without a feline in my home. Except a horribly sad time last year when before I got Duff and after I put my 20 year old cat, Snuggles to sleep.

This 29 year old sits and watches her cats Duff and Homer play for like an hour. LOL Vinny also speaks for the cats. I hope that is normal or else we are all in trouble.

I spend at least 30 minutes every morning and every evening (before and after work) snuggling my kitty. It gets worse though. The cat and I spoon in bed - he even gets under the blankets and puts his head on the pillow.
ReplyDeleteAnd I join Sarah and Vinny watching their cats play and speaking for them too.
Cats are awesome! I had my senior pic taken with my favorite cat too!
ReplyDeleteThank you guys for clearing up that question of sanity. It's good to know that I'm not the only one who can watch cats play like I'm watching a television show! They should make that a show on Animal Planet- "when kittens play."
