I'm learning more of what it's like to be a cat. i sleep more than i have since i was a growing, even in the middle of the day. Mr T (to the left here) and Smidge are teaching me well. There's much to be learned about the balance of work and play. They don't seem to have any issues of concern if the day only holds sleep and play. There is some strange mix of biting and loving that takes place, keeps one on the toes! and it's amazing how much more you get touched when you're either furry, or you speak up a lot. I really don't like when they whack the tails off the lizards, but i do like it that the lizards get away. And i discovered that those nasty lizard poops are made up of cockroach bits. kinda gross, but cool too. don't ask how i found this out. and cockroaches seem to make excellent kitty entertainment, but i feel the need to rescue them too. hunting as a form of engagement is great, though i don't like the kill and abandon technique (suppose that's what happens when dinner is served every day at 8 and 7)the kitties prefer to be out in the rain screaming to be let in with the people than to go alone to the outside room that is dry with a bed. i understand this. i too have learned to do a song and dance at dinner time. and napping seems to be much more fun with one paw draped over another warm body in the sunshine.
