This morning Winston and me set off on our walk like we always do. We hadn’t gotten very far when I felt fur brush against my leg. It was Mizz Kitty and she wanted to come along. So off we went, Winston, Mizz Kitty and me. Mizz Kitty stayed close to the edge of the road, often times even with Winston. We walked a little slower so she could keep up. And keep up she did until she decided she’d gone far enough away from home. She sat down at the side of the road and would go no further. Winston and I walked on. I would occasionally look back To see if she was still there, and she was. But she wasn’t happy about being left behind. I could hear her start to meow. There she was sitting in the middle of the road and really beginning to howl. There was nothing else to do but turn around and go back. So we did as fast as our legs would go. She fell right in step when we reached her. Then we just walked back home like this happens every day, with Mizz Kitty in the lead. When we reached the driveway, I took off Winston’s leash. They followed me to the garage to get a bottle of water, then into the house we went. Winston was happy to get a drink then flop down on the floor. But Mizz Kitty wanted much, much more. Soon as I sat down I had a lap full of cat wanting ears and back scratched. She leaves little doubt as she sticks one toe nail out and deftly snags your hand and brings it about to her ear. When she is ready to have her back done, that is easy to see. She sticks her tail straight up and quivers it at me. She raises her rear end until she is on her tip toes. And if I don’t get to it quick enough to her satisfaction, she’ll start in with that kneading action front legs and back. As she tap dances her toe nails into my thighs, she has me well trained I realize. So Winston is sleeping on the couch and Mizz Kitty is a snooze in her favorite hidey hole. As for myself I could use a few z’s the walk having taken its toll. Winston, Mizz Kitty and me are contented as we can be. |

What a wonderful thing you have going, Lori. I walk Zoe twice a day, sans cat. It is good for her as it is for me. Seems Mizz Kitty is cutting your walks short, and that is not a good hing. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

She doesn't go every time, this was a fluke. Yes, I'd rather she didn't try to go. ~L |

This is an absolutely GORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGEOUS story, Lori! Please hug Winston and "do" Mizz Kitty's back and ear-scratch or whatever she wants, both from Auntie Di from over the huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge water bowl and tell them both that Auntie Di thinks they are wonderful, clever, cute, beautiful and everything nice, the precious cuddly bundles! And Jerry, please hug little Zoe and tell her the same! WHAT would we do without our furbabies??? |

Pinkaninny, Thanks so much! I get my best inspiration from nature and letting the critters be themselves gives me plenty to write about. ~L |

OWL! How nice to see you! Yes I will be sure to give them both extra "lubbins" (lovin's) and tell them it was from you. I know you can appreciate this next part, we are going to Colorado for a few days and have decided not to take Winston with us. I miss him already. I'm going to take his special bed and crate so he will feel more at home there. He is 12 and we have only had him a couple of years but he is my special buddy. It chokes me up just thinking about it. ~L |
