It's perfect for how you described the cat.LOL!<br /><br />Yes, apartment/condo living is ideal for cats because they're easier to care for. Also, they're ideal for urban living because most apartments will not take dogs, only cats. That is unless the dog is a service dog. We have a few in my building, but they're very small and SO CUTE! I love seeing them in the elevator with their owners. <br /><br />Thanks much for stopping by, my friend!<br />XRonhttp://www.triloquist.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092603952139807812.post-59402054270487263422020-06-05T16:34:30.678-04:002020-06-05T16:34:30.678-04:00I'm an equal opportunity fur baby lover. This ...I'm an equal opportunity fur baby lover. This kitty is adorable! My first kitty fur baby was a black cat. We named her Smudge because she was no bigger than a smudge on the wall and could fit in the palm of my hand! I'm sure cats are better pets than dogs living the condo/apartment life in that they don't take as much care as a pupper.

I mean, what does that even mean!?!<br /><br />This morning while I was in my bathroom getting ready to go grocery shopping, I spotted one of the black cats in the window looking at me. I waved and said, "Meow!"<br /><br />"I am in two minds about you know what..... should I, or should I just leave things alone."<br /><br />I'm not 100% sure what you mean by that, but if it has to do with either leaving or staying online, I say STAY ONLINE because I would miss you dearly.<br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by.

Thanks!
Isn't that cat beeeeeau...Hola Denise!<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />Isn't that cat beeeeeautiful? And I Iove how fluffy it is.<br /><br /><i>"I had a black when I lived in my previous apartment. It was a short haired cat, mixed breed. I love that cat so much. He was male (Marc Anthony) and so sweet. I had him for 15 years."</i><br /><br />OMG...I love that name...Marc Anthony!!!! I've never had a black cat, but would love to one day. One of my friends here in Philly has FOUR cats and one of them is completely black. It's so beautiful!<br /><br /><i>"I like dogs as well, but a cat is more self-sufficient. A lot of people assume cats are not affectionate, but that's not true. My cat was such a lover boy. He loved to snuggle"</i><br /><br />You took the words right out of my mouth. I feel the same way. I ADORE dogs too, but I like how independent cats are. And you're right, cats can be very affectionate. My male cat was very snuggly. However, my female cat couldn't be bothered. She preferred not being touched or held. <br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by, girl! Hope you're having a faaaaabulous week!<br /><br />XRonhttp://www.triloquist.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092603952139807812.post-86875308258583868652020-05-28T18:51:25.307-04:002020-05-28T18:51:25.307-04:00Oh yes, Mark, I DO know how much you love cats, su...Oh yes, Mark, I DO know how much you love cats, sure do! And Sidney is such a sweetheart! 13 years??? That's awesome! <br /><br />It's funny because black cats get such a bad rap of bad luck superstition. Yet, I've always thought of them as good luck because they're so beautiful. <br /><br /><i>"It's interesting that you have interior windows looking out across the hall like that, too. Your apartment is certainly interesting!"</i><br /><br />I know, isn't it interesting that two apartments at each end of the hallway share window space? On my side of the building, it's shape like a rectangular U. So the way our apartments are situated on the floor, my bathroom widow connects to apartment. However, I also have three more windows in the living area that look clearly over the city. Although my studio is small, the windows give it a more spacious feel.<br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by, my friend.

You've photos ...Oh Ron, this post is SO CUTE!!! You've photos are so great. I agree with you, the screen gave the pictures a filtered look that makes the cat look even more beautiful. I had a black when I lived in my previous apartment. It was a short haired cat, mixed breed. I love that cat so much. He was male (Marc Anthony) and so sweet. I had him for 15 years. <br /><br />I love the quote you shared about cats being like music because it's so true. People seem to either like cats or don't. I like dogs as well, but a cat is more self-sufficient. A lot of people assume cats are not affectionate, but that's not true. My cat was such a lover boy. He loved to snuggle.<br /><br />Enjoyed this post so much, Ron!

Isn't that GIF faaaaaabulous? No.....Hiya Matt!<br /><br />Isn't that GIF faaaaaabulous? No....I didn't make that. I wish. I found it online while googling pictures of cat paws. They had two different sizes. I chose the larger one.<br /><br /><i>"You know, I didn't become a cat fan until I met my girlfriend who had two cats when we moved in together. It's not that I didn't like cats, it's that I didn't really give them much thought. But I have to say, now I've been around cats, I see the attraction"</i><br /><br />I've heard more stories like that from SO MANY people who were not cat fans, but then ended up getting one and falling in love with them. My father was the same, for some reason he did NOT like cats until my mother adopted one from the shelter. That cat and my father formed such a strong bond that the cat never left my father's side when he went into Hospice and passed away. That cat was so loyal to my father.<br /><br />Yes, I had two cats at one time (a male and female) who were related (mother and son). The male was SO affectionate. He loved to cuddle with me when I got into bed each night. He also enjoyed sitting in the bathroom while I shaved an showered in the morning, and just watch me.

Yes, I know you're not a fan of cats because I think you mentioned that one other time when I posted something about cats. That's okay though. I know lots of people how are not fond of felines. It's funny though because most cat-lovers I know, love both cats AND dogs. However, most dog-lovers I know, do not like cats. That's because cats and dogs have a completely different kind of energy. But I have to say, I love them both. <br /><br />Thank you! I got lucky with these photographs because I took them so fast that I didn't think they would come out at all. <br /><br /><i>"You know, my late Italian grandma always tried to keep a black cat around the house -- she swore they were good luck."</i><br /><br />WOW...I have never heard that? Most of the time you hear that black cats are bad luck; especially if they cross your path.

My former feline was also a black cat with a tip of white on her tail and was named Sambuca and Pat’s was a calico named Missy for Misfit as she was a former stray. Your neighbor’s cats sound like a beautiful,pair. Yes, that photo of cat’s eyes was a great one. Shooting through window screens is never ideal, but the photos showed the beauty of your feline neighbors. I loved the post title as well.DA Perruccinoreply@blogger.com
