Feline Friday: Purr in the Sunshine
Our cats have been impatiently waiting for the day they can sit in an open window. Window perching has to be their favorite activity after eating and sleeping. In most of the rooms, our ledges aren't wide enough for them to perch if the windows are closed. In the winter time and during inclement (too hot or too cold or too rainy) weather, they are pretty much banned to the family room if they want to look outside.
In the last two weeks, the rain stopped, the sun came out and the air became very mild. We opened all the windows. It's been torture for those of us with allergies -- tree pollen is abundant around here! -- but the cats are in their glory.

I say "fluffy"; you say kitty.
I say "pink"; you say pretty in.
I say "train"; you say plane.
2. Which is worse: being trapped in an elevator with ABBA's Greatest Hits on repeat or being stuck on a desert island with Richard Simmons, who's on a permanent caffeine buzz and in the mood to JAZZERCIZE!
I don't think anything could be worse than being stuck with Richard Simmons on a permanent caffeinated jazzercized buzz@

FQ2: Any pets now?
2 cats and ADD (a dumb dog)

FQ BEST FRIEND: If money and legality were not a barrier, what exotic animal would you like as a pet?
Well, I'd have to also factor in my physical safety. I'd like to say koala bear but I don't think they're very tame. I'd like to say monkey but that just leads to all sorts of problems. Maybe a tiger in my backyard...in a nice safe tiger pen
