Robert that was just too funny! I hope that you were able to copy paste that.

Here is the crew on our 13000 mile around the US trip this summer.

Pets are great....and what we wouldn't do for them?

Mac and Linda

WOW! I am hoping that I can get my Dog and cats to do this.

Over the years have had several cats and dogs. Used to train dogs in a past life. No pets right now but the neighbors cats come over almost every day to be combed. They know I don't comb them in the front yard so if they see me out they get my attention and then run to the back. I figure it helps to lower my blood pressure.

All dog lovers (me) and cat lovers should re-read Kipling's 'Cat that walked by himself' from his Just So Stories. It's a quick read and will tickle many a rib! I'll bet more than a few of you read it to children in your life...

What a wise little story! Thanks for pointing it out, I have never read that one.

I always say that if you are stressed you need to pet a cat a few times from head to tail. Somehow the worries / stress seems to fly away each time your hand reaches the end of the tail. Of course it may take a few repeats of the action to be totally relieved.

Don't you just love that same cute look a cat has.... whether it's a swirling fall leaf or an Axe Murderer?

Yep, there's just something about a cat at times that makes you wonder "okay, what the heck are you up to now" as the little fur ball suddenly becomes extremely affectionate and out of character. A quick check around the house doesn't show any signs of fur balls, or other surprises like a dead meese dragged in from outside, so then what could it be....

. Heavens, it couldn't be that "someone" is needing attention could it?
