#Cat Week Is Every Week : via NPR

Having lived with a bunch of cats now over the past 20 some years, I know that they are very social, spend quite a bit of time maintaining their social structure and making me a part of it. My part is as a not-a-cat-but-she-does-know-where-the-food-is and good-to-curl-up-with-when-it’s cold and is-mostly-not-scary-but-yells-sometimes-but-not-too-much.

Each cat has a unique personality. Some big mushy lovers who pour love over you at ever turn. Some a big strong boy who says “you can be in my pride, ok?” Middle kits who sidle up and just want some affection without strings. Wee small kittens who don’t have enough brain cells to know how big the big boys are and who bounce around and try to love anything that will let them get close. And everything in between.

From the #Seussical Quote Box

You have brains in your head. / You have feet in your shoes. / You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. / You’re on your own. / And you know what you know. / You are the guy who’ll decide where to go. — Dr. Suess

Oh the counting-ness of it all

There is nothing that makes the heart of a bean counter beat faster than the odometer rolling over to a nice round number with a bunch of zeroes. I’ve been pondering what to do when the word count for posts hits 300K, but there was a nice round shiny number looking at me tonight when I checked stats. Fourteen thousand views, all time. That is, no doubt, since switching to Word Press long ago so it doesn’t include my small band of followers from the Blogger days.

Still and all, my heart felt and sincere thanks to everyone who wanders in to see what I’ve been up to, or what I’m reading, what bobbin I’m on or whatever it is I’m messing around with from time to time. I welcome and am gladdened by your presence. OK, otherwise I’d be talking to myself all the time…
