Hello - I live near the Piedmont Cemetery in Oakland. Time was, you could pick wonderful blackberries in the back (on the right, under the hill), but they've cleared them out. I enjoyed looking at your beautiful work.
I had a 20-year-old tabby that I named "Boom" because when he came in the room, BOOM! everybody was happy.
Before him, I was ambivalent. Cats were good for chasing off squirrels and mice, but not much more.
But since I had the pleasure of Boom's company for so long, I think differently. I miss hearing his little "Rawr!" in the middle of whenever. He was always up for a visit.
Then one morning we found him lying in the yard, having passed while relaxing or just cleaning himself. I was brokenhearted. If I had only known, I would have sat up with him!
But he had finished his work, having made three children's lives richer, and one man's heart softer.
So cute. Thanks for posting this. I love cats, too. And my cats just love any kind of a box as well, even if half of them is sticking out from the side of one.
Silly Cat.
ReplyDeleteBTW - like your new profile photo!
Cats crack me up..lol.
ReplyDeleteI miss my old cat we had for 19 years.

Hey Laurel,
ReplyDeleteI love your cats attitude!

p.s. any bag, box or newspaper I bring in the house, my cat has to sit in or on it!
