shopping done
we’re back home
the cat nests
in a pile of discarded paper

/ January 2, 2013I don’t know why we spend money on cat toys when they find discarded items the most entertaining. I can visualize this well, Gayle.
I’ve not done small stones before — but decided to jump in. Not sure what I am doing, but I will wing it until I discover otherwise! Here’s to a New Year and adventure on the journey!! :D
Bodhirose
/ January 3, 2013No cat toys around here…a waste of money. I’m glad you jumped into the small stones challenge. I like it. :~)
Ravenblack
/ January 2, 2013I can just visualize its contentment. :)
Bodhirose
/ January 3, 2013Yes, much contentment. :)
Polly Robinson
/ January 2, 2013I can see this too ~ so few words, yet so vivid :)
Bodhirose
/ January 3, 2013If you know kitties…you can visualize their shenanigans! :)
wightrabbit
/ January 2, 2013Haha! Excellent observation Gayle! Happy New Year to you and your family! :)
Bodhirose
/ January 3, 2013Thank you, Jacqueline! Happy New Year to you and your family too…I wish you well! :)
Sue Dreamwalker
/ January 2, 2013Cats just love paper and cardboard boxes don’t they… Wishing you a wonderful 2013 … with lots of Blessings…. we know what they are don’t we? :-) Hugs Sue xoxo
Bodhirose
/ January 3, 2013Yes, they do…that nice rustling sound and “things” in there to pounce on. Many blessings to you as well, Sue. Yes, we surely know what they are…they can show up in these cute, little packages. :~) Hugs and love…

/ January 2, 2013haha i love that about cats…they are home anywhere….very cool capture of the moment…
Bodhirose
/ January 3, 2013That’s what this mindful writing challenge is all about…capturing moments in our lives. This is an ongoing one in mine.
Jamie Dedes
/ January 2, 2013A lovely stone indeed, perfect sense of the season … including Sita! Wonderful. :-)
Bodhirose
/ January 3, 2013Thank you, Jamie. This is about my daughter’s cat Rumi. I had to leave Sita behind when I moved here. Sita and he do not get along. They lived together for years and never could get it together. It would have been a very unhappy household if I had brought her. My daughter offered to perhaps keep them separate in the house somehow…but I knew it just would be so stressful for them both. I cried and cried when I left her. But she is in wonderful hands with Tom…he is so sweet and attentive to her. I will be visiting her soon. And if circumstances change and I can manage it, I will bring her to live with me. I miss her so.
Lorna's Voice
/ January 3, 2013My long-gone cat used to love hiding in the empty boxes then surprising us! Fun poem…
Bodhirose
/ January 3, 2013He also has a shallow box to lay in…the most fun ever!
