Yesterday I went to

Walmart to pick up some stuff. I decided to get Othello a little bag of toys. Some bizzy balls,a little taco cat and a catnip mouse or two and fuzzy balls.

He was so happy. He's been carrying around the little taco cat everywhere .Its absolutely adorable when he carries toys in his mouth. Especially the fuzzyballs.

This morning he left me a few of his new toys in my bed as a gift.
My heart was about to burst when I saw them.

Oh I so love precious Othello.

Cats are wonderful. They are smart and interact with their people in their native feline way, yet it is unique for each one. He is being imaginative, playful, and wants you to share in the love, you give to him. That's very cool.

What a kitty is trying to say just by looking at them. My Othello isnt a meower. Hes' like the silent bob of cats.

Here I am a totally different species and without sound cues, my cat,I can understand him.

Cats are the shiznit. They are the most wonderful.I couldnt imagine my life without cats in it. I know without othellos help I might not be here to write this .

Cats are so divine gifts of Lady Bast and I am so thankful for each cat.

I have 3 cats, they are so different in terms of each ones unique personality traits and style. They all exercise a telepathic way of communication.

Maybelline, meows when she plays with a toy critter, loudly announcing that she has captured the next meal carrying the captive toy in her teeth.
She is in full character of the wild cat. She's so loud she gets the attention of Civet, her brother and Freya, their surrogate mama cat.

They are gifts, indeed.

I totally understand that feeling.

One of the most endearing things my cat ever did was knock on the door to urge me to complete my morning tasks so I could come out and join her in the garden.

I was actually flattered, LOL. We all know cats act like they can do without us just fine, so I took that as a very sincere compliment.

past and present. I have had cat companions for almost 50 years, and I remember my life events in terms of which cat was with me... they wrap themselves into my lap and into my memories.

and I too expect to see them again. I had a very long "talk" with my big fluffy Maine Coon on the day he passed about a year ago, asking him to be waiting for me when I pass. It is so hard to let them go.
