Sassy cats – Being grateful

Morgan and me

It’s the peep today. Sasha is at the spa getting her fur fluffed.

This week I had a minor medical procedure done by a new doctor in a new place. There was no reason to be anxious, but I was. Afterward I came home and slept for several hours. When I woke up there were two happy faces tucked in next to me communicating that I was just fine. It warmed my heart and made me smile. I’m not sure how people cope without pets.

However (there is always a but!), all is not always calm. One evening this week, Sasha was literally bouncing off walls and careening around corners on her belly. I haven’t seen her move this fast since she was young. She doesn’t do anything fast except hide from visitors and steal food.

My first thought was that a mouse was loose in the house but Gus was calmly sitting on the top of the sofa. He jumped down (slowly) to investigate. If it had been a mouse, they both (along with Morgan who was nowhere to be found) would have been bouncing off walls, knocking over stuff.

It was a fly. If it was anything else, I would have felt sorry for the critter but not a fly. It probably was snacking in the litter box before coming upstairs to contaminate the house. Sasha pummeled it and that was that! End of fly. All of us settled down to watch TV.

Then we argued about what to watch with the cats preferring a nature station and the peeps wanting NCIS. Peeps won. Opposable thumbs and control of the remote win out every time.

Have a great flyless weekend!

  9. Cats come into our lives for a reason. I believe they know very wise things we aren’t aware of. And I am thankful for the cats that spent their lives with us. They made such a difference in our lives. Such joy when you woke up and two Sassy Cats were there to to warm your heart.

  11. I think people without cats must lead very dreary lives. My 17 YO calico was on the counter chasing the light reflection from my tablet on the ceiling. When it moved farther away she promptly flew across the room with nary a fear, but that was fine – all the fear was in me. She’s just skin and bones and I couldn’t fathom her making the jump from the counter to the table. But she did it and never doubted herself. I finally moved my seat so the sun wasn’t reflecting off the tablet. I couldn’t stand the anxiety. She was disappointed.

  21. Great photo of you and Morgan AND the two nursemaids. They “just know” when something is up with us – I love that about them. Glad you are OK and have a healthcare crew in place. I have one large nurse who will be happy to be back home since we are back from our brief vacation. Ted will pout for a while but forgive us in the end. Cats are priceless in EVERY way.

    Hugs, Pam
