Feline Friday and Friendly Fill-ins! February 25, 2022

One of my favorite cats was Larry. He was a neighborhood kitten that wandered around and my son Paul wanted to adopt him as the older neighbor didn't take care of his cats. We were going on vacation and I instructed my 18 year old to " NOT let the kitten in the house" while we were gone. 
Well... we got home and the kitten was lounging on our bed, making himself at home, noshing on yummy food and having a lovely time. Of course I took Larry ( yep he had been named!) to the vet and got all his vaccines etc. Larry was a fun cat, very loving and lived to be 20 years old! One of these days I will unpack all our photo albums and find some fun photos of all our cats to share! Have a lovely day....everyday!
Thanks Sandee!

Thankful Thursday February 24, 2022


I am so thankful for all the animals I 
have had in my life; as a child we had lots of cats
and usually just one dog at a time. All our four
legged family members were loved and cherished.
I have so many happy memories of playing
 and sleeping with them.
Have a wonderful day....everyday!
Thanks Brian for Thankful Thursday!
And thank you to all who visit me and leave
