Welcome back, Channler. As one of the older "old-timers," I am happy to say that a fair number of us are still around. Pull up a chair.
Considering all the unhappy news we have been experiencing lately, I wanted to pass along a story that shows all is not dark and gloomy.
The new cat (Princess Juneipurr) has her own schedule- as most cats do.
So, beginning around 4:00 a.m., she will show up on the bed, with one of her toy mice, and proceed to have a grand time batting it around and jumping on us. She usually announces her arrival with a "trill"- a sort of long "purrr-ripp" sound. Once we convince her that it is not yet time to get up, she will disappear, only to come back an hour later. And so on, until it IS time to get up.
Mrs. Treydog and I were laughing about this behavior, and she said,
"I guess for her, every day is Christmas."
And maybe that is not a bad way to approach life. Of course, it's easier if you are a cat who sleeps 17 hours a day, and plays or eats the other 7.
