She clawed her way into my heart and wouldn’t let go! Posted on September 21, 2007September 21, 2007 This has become her morning routine. She wakes up reluctantly, making displeased noises, when I stir in the morning. Then she lies there, snuggled in the blanket, watching me get ready (and getting great pleasure, I’m sure). Then she climbs across the dressing table and goes behind the curtain and perches there on the ledge for a while, for reasons that are totally imcomprensible to me. And she does this nearly eveyr day! She sits there for a while, like a bride awaiting her ceremony. Then, once she’s done with her stint behind the curtains, she emerges sleepily and goes back to the blanket again! Sigh, cats. Don’t even try and understand them. Just love them and let them be 🙂 I collect cat quotes, so if you ever come across any, please do send them to me! Here are some of my favourites: Cats are smarter than dogs. You can’t get eight cats to pull a sled through snow. ~ Jeff Valdez There is something about the presence of a cat… that seems to take the bite out of being alone. ~ Louis J. Camuti If I tried to tell you how much I love my cats, you wouldn’t believe me – unless your heart is also meow-shaped and covered in stray fur. ~ Lexie Saige And I simply love this one (it is also true :). Cats are intended to teach us that not everything in nature has a purpose. ~ Garrison Keillor Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr Print (Opens in new window) Print Feline Obsession Living Personal

A season for new beginnings Posted on April 13, 2009April 13, 2009 March and then April has been a month of changes. Old giving way to the new. I think all the stars aligned in a certain direction and cosmic forces decided it was time that I was lodged out of my familiar circumstances and surroundings. March heralded a new job and a new house.

Here’s my contribution – “In the beginning, God created man, but seeing him so feeble, He gave him the cat.” – Warren Eckstein Not had the fortune of bringing up a cat so far, but will do so sometime surely. For now, could you please help me spread word on this? Thanks! Reply

awesome picture!! i too collect cat quotes. here are few: “If man could be crossed with the cat it would improve the man, but it would deteriorate the cat.” – Mark Twain I have studied many philosophers and many cats. The wisdom of cats is infinitely superior. – unknown “Thousands of years ago, cats were worshipped as gods. Cats have never forgotten this.” – Anonymous “Dogs come when they’re called; cats take a message and get back to you later.” – Mary Bly As every cat owner knows, nobody owns a cat. – Ellen Perry Berkeley Cats know how to obtain food without labor, shelter without confinement, and love without penalties. – W. L. George A cat has absolute emotional honesty: human beings, for one reason or another, may hide their feelings, but a cat does not. – Ernest Hemingway The phrase “domestic cat” is an oxymoron. – George F. Will Way down deep, we’re all motivated by the same urges. Cats have the courage to live by them. – Jim Davis “Cats are smarter than dogs. You can’t get eight cats to pull a sled through snow.” – Jeff Valdez Civilization is defined by the presence of cats.” – Unknown Reply

My cats give me two looks that plainly speak their minds. “Lady, please, I don’t have to do that, I’M A CAT!” and “I think that you know what it is you can kiss!) And, if you have not guessed, my cats know that they are superior. Currently, I have a nine year old ebony female (formally known as a BLACK CAT) that I adopted five years ago. I adopted two feral kittens less than a year ago – and of course they are in my favorite color of cats – ebony, and ebony and ivory. Reply
