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!! 😀

/ 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.
