C is for Crazy Cat Lady

I’d like to have a house full of cats
Just the way some folks have mats,
Cats on couches and every chair
Wonderful felines everywhere,
Short-haired, long-haired, skinny or fat
I adore every kind of cat,
Sadly I am the owner of only two
What’s a cat-loving gal to do?
I’d like to have as many cats as socks
Can you imagine the smell of the litterbox?

    I am scared of cats.... actually I'm never a pets-person!

      That's too bad, Sheethal. I understand though. Not everyone can be a crazy cat lady like me.

      Thanks for commenting, Rajlakshmi. I have two outdoor dogs, too, a red Siberian and an Alaskan Malamute but must admit to favouring cats.

    Love cats too but never had a litter box - they always went outside.

      That would make it easier. I'm always cleaning out that litterbox and there are only two of them!

      Thanks, Franny. As a friend pointed out to me, I like dogs but I LOVE cats. Guess that's true.

    My daughter adores cats, especially the stray ones which come and drink milk at my in-laws' place. She loves the way they nuzzle against her. I guess she would echo your thoughts. Cute poem :)

      Your daughter and I would have lots in common for sure. Thanks for commenting Shailaja. I haven't written my D post for today but I do have an idea. Please don't kick me with your pointy boots!

    Ah me, I'm allergic to them. I do love kittens though! And I love anyone who write poetry (because it scares me!)

      Thanks, Cristina. Sorry to hear you're allergic to cats. That must be miserable. I would hate that. I'd probably have them anyway and put up with it.

    Ha! Well, my husband is terribly allergic to them, otherwise we'd probably have a couple. He's adopted two and given them to friends after a day of being unable to breathe. Great poem though.

      Thanks! I do love my kitties. Just have both a cat and a dog. I have two cats and two dogs. At one point we had 4 dogs and 3 cats. That was too many but my hubs just can't say no when people offer him dogs.

    I'm not a cat person, but I like the poem :)

    Aww...I love your two cats...they look gorgeous! I have 2 as well...at one stage I thought of getting a third but I think I'm ok with two for now. As you said, litterbox smells are something I don't think I could handle with more. Plus my two are very demanding in terms of attention! Lovely poem Cat! :D

#MicroblogMonday - Small Actions Do Make a Difference

Image
My family has a band made up of me on flute, my husband on bass clarinet, one son on tenor sax and the other on drums. We play music at the Presbyterian church we attend every third Sunday.  Our church congregation are a traditional, conservative bunch, not known for displaying too much emotion and often I assume that no one cares much if we play or not. Yesterday I was at a funeral for one of the members. A woman came up to me and told me how much she loves to see my sons perform and how the music just pours out of us. She always looks forward to the Sundays when we are performing and how much our music means to her. Her appreciation for our music reminded me that even small actions can have a big impact. It also reminded me that if someone does make a difference, it’s important to thank them and show your appreciation. Never assume that people know already as often they’re like me and don’t think that these small actions are a big deal. Never underestim...

#MondayMusings Acceptance of Loss and Change

This cartoon certainly touched a nerve this morning and triggered an outpouring of emotion that has evolved into this blog post. I sure miss my mom’s phone calls. That was our way of staying connected across the vast thousand mile distance between Ontario and Cape Breton.  My mom just loved to talk on the phone with friends and family, especially during the last few years of her life when she wasn’t as active anymore. She would come out to the sunroom, sit in her favourite chair (sometimes with an orange cat in her lap) and phone people. She used to put on the speaker phone which I never liked, but she found it easier and my dad could listen in, too. I used to tell her I wasn't a phone person and that I preferred email and Facebook are since I express myself best in writing.  What I wouldn't do for one of my mom’s phone calls now. Miss her every day. I'm adapting and going on, as one must do after losing a loved one, but life is defini...
