I sat at a stop sign today and watched a little girl, maybe somewhere between 7 & 10, from atop her pink bike, watch a fat, orange cat roll back and forth on the
sidewalk. Her helmet was cockeyed and she sat on the seat with her feet pressed against the front wheel. She was
very amused by this chubby orange and white kitty and the cat was doing its best to grab her attention and receive some petting from her. She could not leave; she was so enthralled with its' antics. I sat for awhile, as no cars were around, and watched and remembered when I was
that age and was late for every function if I happened to pass by a cat on the way. Many a cat would be picked up off the sidewalk and brought home only to have to be returned immediately once my mother found it.
That would have been 50 years ago.
50 years! How fast time goes. And here I was heading to a home to care and pamper cats that had been left in my care. I couldn't help but smile and wonder if that little girl in front of me would end up some day in the cat-care business or would she be the next
Prime Minister of Canada.
For her sake, I hope the former.
