I haven't posted for a long time, almost a year. I lost heart when someone used one of my happiest posts against me. It made me so sad that I lost all heart for writing anything. But I have found... Continue reading

Sir Charlie is out like a light! He is one of the sweetest cats I've ever had the pleasure to know. For a blind cat who wasn't treated well he is so trusting it's amazing. I should be so good...... Continue reading

Wow! Looks just like Sammy!
Toggle Commented Feb 13, 2013 on Sammy discovers Charlie... at Zen Cat Art
Thanks! The two of them seem to have made this instant bond. They are never more than a tail length apart. Well, unless Sammy sits on the ironing board when I am sewing. Charlie sits patiently underneath until Sammy comes back down out of the clouds. When he gets running around and bonking into things, I put him in time out bathroom until he settles down a bit - just a few minutes does it. But Sammy waits outside the door until and sometimes scratches it until I spring him. Cat's are wonderful creatures! I'm so glad they adopted me back!
