What a comfort!

I've just been reflecting on my life, "pre-kitties" and now. Here are some of my favorite things about having feline members of the family:

* "Home alone" is never truly home alone!

* Vespers' favorite napping spot is on the same couch I inhabit while studying. It's a comfort to sense his fluffy grey presence right next to me.

* Having animals in the house reminds me that I too am an animal. I have a tendency to stay in my mind, thinking abstract thoughts...out of touch with the instinct to eat, play, stretch. My kitty companions are good reminders to be in my body.

* Having two little friends who trust me utterly, look to me for both cuddles and sustinance, and believe always that I am good is tremendously heartening!

* There is always a soft little bundle lying about who enjoys being stroked and lovingly talked to.

Mmmmm. What a life with these two precious creatures!
