Cats as comfort? I don’t think so!
Last night when we went to dinner at the lovely O’Leander Cafe in downtown Leander, Loretta was amused because I was stressed to the max. I told her it was the cats that did it. She’s a Cat Person, too, so she understands. Yesterday was a tough day for all sorts of reasons, I was already on the edge, but then Missy Jane decided to play “let’s see how many times I can get in the closet before the No-Tailed One screams at me.” She and her sister, Izzie June, have learned how to double-team me. One sits behind the door, the other sits beside the door. Izzie distracts me while Missy slips in. So much for sister cats! (BTW, she got in at least SIX times!)
Little Miz “Prozac Princess” had the day off, I guess. She had this look on her face like “YOU handle it today, OK? I’m tired!” Sheesh. Cats are supposed to lower your blood pressure, right? Sometimes I wonder about the scientists who did THAT study…how many cats do they live with, anyway? Do they have SIX cats? I think not.
I hope today’s a little better. Izzy June’s happy with her Dead Rat she got for Christmas, Louie’s hiding underneath the blanket because Ginger won’t stop hissing at him, and Blanca’s curled up on the corner of the desk, and I’m calm again. I’m not sure how much the cats have to do with that, though. I think it’s more because of the excellent canolli we brought home for dessert last night.
And oh, BTW, if you’re ever in lovely downtown Leander, TX, stop in and tell Loretta and her husband Dave “howdy.” They run a great family restaurant filled with a lot of wonderful people. AND they love cats!
Go a-mews somebody today!
