Quote of the Day:
“Even if my marriage is falling apart and my children are unhappy, there is still a part of me that says, “God! This is fascinating.”

Hi gang, happy Monday!
I did finish one book and a small leaflet. I’m almost caught up on my Bible reading and Al-Anon inspirational book. Other than that I spent time with my fur children.
I know every parent feels that their children are the best and I’m one of those parents. The difference is that my children are cats, Max is three and Bailey is two and I do find them fascinating.
This is actually Spike but this is what Bailey looks like
Max, however, is “Mr. Clean.” He cleans up around the food bowl and when it comes to the litter boxes, man, he paws and paws and even runs his paw down the sheet that covers the bathroom area. Yet, since both Max and Bailey are a Maine Coon-mix their back paws holds onto that litter and I find it every where.
Bailey has found he likes sleeping on the bed, the empty ice cooler, on top of the drawer beside the TV and under the bed.
I’ve also noticed that Max likes to stir up the water in his water dish, then he licks his paw and then he will drink from the bowl.
Max’s favorite places to sleep are on the carpet under the desk in a little cubby I made by stacking boxes and bags of our things at the front of the desk. Max has a box with the top that has about a 12-inch hole in it. Unless you knew about it you would never find him. There is also a stack of blankets beside the chest of drawers that Max finds very comfortable.
Both cats like sleeping next to me or Michael. Usually they begin the evening with me (I think because I don’t move as much as Michael) and then move over to Michael. Both like to sleep propped up against my legs or feet or they curl up in the crooks of my body depending whether I’m on my side or between my legs if I’m on my back. Neither of them cares to be under the covers unless I am making the bed. Go figure.
These two cats can drive us crazy but we love them very much.

Funny how they all have their own little quirks and people who don’t like and understand animals say that of course they don’t have personalities….but of course they *do*! Every one is different.
I go ballistic when my friends say “they’re NOT children, they’re only DOGS!”
Grrrr!
(Same with cats!)
We are all God’s creatures here on this earth, fur or no fur.
