Mr. Ed had a leg injury last Spring and for many months after that Lily did not go near him. He didn't seem to mind much. He needed to heal. Well, his back left leg is permanently damaged as he has lost most of the muscle back there but he still gets around and loves his food, his couch, his deck and yard and for the most part, his Lily. He never misses the litter-box and for that I am thankful.
Today I watched Ed as he groomed Lily. I often wonder what the relationship really is.
It's so intense sometimes and you will never see them apart. They seem to be inseparable. Then it changes and they barely look at each other for weeks. They make me laugh but then I wonder if this is similar to some marriages.
We got a lot of rain yesterday. I actually had to return to one of my client's homes to shut windows as it came down in buckets. I have some beauties this week and when I can I will photograph each and every one of them for you. One guy, Optimus, has a total of 18 toes on his two front paws. He should have 10. Are you picturing snow-shoes? He is delightful. He is known as a polydactyl cat.
I have 2 black beauties, both long-haired, tabbies, grey & white & one that reminds me so much of my Annie.
Annie
Have I mentioned that Annie is the sweetest cat in the world? Yes, of course I have. It is soon coming up to a year since I brought her and her 3 kittens home from the shelter. She has certainly blossomed into a lovely companion and we love her dearly.
I am so happy I picked her (or did she pick me?) out of 28 cats that day to foster for the shelter. So....I don't make a great foster home because I fall in love too easily. That, I found out pretty quick. But sometimes things happen for a reason and I believe Annie and I, and her off-spring Audrey, are meant to be together. Can't fight it and that's that!
When God created kitty cats,
He had no recipe;
He knew He wanted something sweet,
As sweet as sweet could be.
