Gertrude’s Request
The other day, as I was sorting through some real pictures, you know the ones we took before digital cameras, I came across this 2005 of Gertrude and me. She loved to pester me whenever I was eating or reading or basically doing anything. Noel reminds me a great deal of Gertrude. Gerty left us in 2007. It’s funny how some of them burn a bigger hole in your heart. Maybe it’s time for a long-haired calico again?

After a walk, it is nice to come home to cats waiting for you at the front door. It is so welcoming. Especially, if it was raining on you. Louise hates the rain, but she loves a walk. Sometimes it is a hard choice. But, it always nice to come home to your friends.
What kind of mischief did you get into today?

Mini Cooper and Nine caught a moment of quiet by the front door while the dogs were busy upstairs.
They love to watch the world go by. Don’t you?

I am not sure that I need to tell you the story, because the story kind of tells itself. Just so you know, Noel retained possession of the box for most of the evening. Enough said?

Noel, the Christmas Cat here – At about 4 PM every afternoon I have to roll at the top of the stairs for about 10 minutes. It is my ritual. Mommy is not sure why I do it, but I have been doing it about the same time everyday for years. Sometimes, I do it again later in the night, but late afternoon is my favorite time to roll. Do you roll?

Nine discovered Louise’s night-time bed in Mom’s bedroom. He has decided that it is a wonderful place to get away from everyone else and take a nap. The other night however, when Louise was ready for bed, she did not know what to do because he was in her night-night spot. She never rousts a cat from any of her beds, so she went into the living room and laid down there instead of with Mommy.

Mini Cooper has been lying with Noel on the bed lately, when she is not chasing her down the hall. I am not sure why Mini and Nine have been picking on the old lady so much, but sometimes they even attack her when she is in the litter box (that is a low blow). When things are quiet, like in the picture above, they are so sweet.
Have a wonderful Black and White Sunday! Happy Easter to those who celebrate.
