Cat Tails

Good evening my friends

I admit I am very late with a post today. I had planned one entry but the more I thought about it the more I just found it too sad. It was about my niece-in-laws dog that just died. But like I said, the subject is too sad. I love having pets but how I hate saying the final goodbye.

So while I tried to find another subject on such short notice, Rocky kept climbing all over me, head butting me and in general making a nuisance of himself. Once he finally plopped (and I mean that literally) down and I began to pet him he went into his really lovable mode.

When he’s like that he wiggles and tries to squeeze as close to me as possible. His little paws open and close like he’s kneading the air and he drools! Yup, since he was a little , tiny kitten he’s drooled whenever he was really happy and content.

At first I was concerned something was wrong with his teeth or mouth and dragged him off to the Vet. After careful examination I was told “He loves you. You should feel honored.”

Over the years he’s gotten bigger but he’s never stopped drooling. Just now it isn’t cute little drops, it’s buckets of drool. He shakes his head and the drool flies. It isn’t all the time, only when he gets really , really relaxed.

So tell me, have any of you had a cat that drools? Now you know you are loved.

Smokey’s Turn

After my photo shoot with the Tiny Terror named Copper, I retrieved my basket and took it home. I thought it would be fun to see if my cats would show an interest. I doubted they would be able to fit in like that little kitten did.

To my surprise it was Smokey that took an interest.

Rocky sniffed it and walked away. Smokey managed to squeeze himself in but he wasn’t able to present  the wide-eyed innocence of the tiny kitten.
