My inspiration for this post came from my dear, longtime blogging friend, Debbie @ Musings by an ND Domer's Mom, who is not only a gifted...
Today I thought I’d share my love and adoration for all things feline.
I truly love and appreciate all of God’s creatures, big and small.
(with the exception of a few retched PEOPLE CREATURES that I work with)
Oh, yea…and I’m also not fond of pigeons!
Now, mind you…I would never harm them in anyway, but if you lived in a city such as I do…and had to walk in Washington Square Park, through a sea of 500 meandering pigeons who suddenly decide to FLY in your face…you’d understand what I mean.
(I feel like Tippi Hedren…in the movie, The Birds)
And besides that…I can’t stand how they “gang-up” and steal peanuts from the squirrels (who I happen to love).
And one of my biggest enjoyments of pigeons, is how one of them will casually decide to land on my backpack while I’m quietly sitting on a park bench…and boldly start rummaging through it; searching for gum wrappers and my debit card.
Pigeons are nothing more than FLYING GREEDY GARBAGE DISPOSALS!!!!!
(ok…deep cleansing breath, Ron…now let it go)
Anyway…getting back to cats…
Growing up, I had always heard that cats were sneaky, and possessed by some demonic power, and that they enjoyed sitting on a baby’s chest in the middle of the night; sucking all the breath out them.
Oh..PALEEESE!!!
(ok…I admit to being dramatic, but that misconception is WAAAAY dramatic!!)
I mostly admire cats, because of their independence and devil-may-care attitude.
And I always share with those who say they don’t like cats, “To know one…is to love one.”
Cats are more human than most people realize.
Like people, some cats are stand-offish, and yet others are very affectionate and enjoy being close.
Cats are cautious little creatures, however, I find that wise and intelligent.
They can be defiant and uncontrollable.
(but so can I)
Most cats are low maintenance, and require very little attention.
They have a wonderful sense of who they are…and don’t give a damn if anyone likes them or not.
Cats are keen observers and have a tremendous amount of patience.
They reserve their energy, and will never exude anymore than what’s needed.
But I think the most endearing thing that I love about cats…is watching how they sleep.
I don’t care WHERE they lay their carcass, whether it be on your bed pillow; leaving a blanket of cat hair, or high on a bookshelf, with their legs dangling off the edge…they ALWAYS look comfortable.
My favorite thing to do on a rainy Sunday afternoon, was to lie on the couch with my cats and snuggle with them.
And just the sound of their gentle purring…was enough to have me drifting off into La La Land, within minutes.
ZZZzzzzzzzz…..
I LOVE you, Cats
But I'm NOT fond of you, Pigeons(you, PUTAS!)
Enjoy your weekend, everyone...MEOW!
