"Dan and Nancy Mahoney" wrote in message ... I'm reasonably sure you're not the only psych case around here :-) [I tend toward depression myself]. Me too. I wonder if that has anything to do with our attraction to kitties? Something along the lines of self-preservation... Dan When our first little poodle died, we were going through a rough patch as a family. After several months Charlie pretty much dragged me into looking at puppies. We fell in love with a beautiful little dark apricot girl that we finally named Brandi Alexandra. Only because as Charlie said if we actually named her Therapy we would be forever explaining. None of our cats have been particularly cuddly. Two ferals and three meezer boys over 35 years. Until last year we got our Siamese girl Rosie. She is my love, my sweetheart, and my almost constant companion. There is nothing like unconditional love and a warm body that is there when you need it. And purrs and kisses don't hurt either. Jo |

When I called Louie to pick me up, he held the phone out for the cats. I said I loved my Stosh and Roxie, and they were rubbing up on the receiver. Damn, I do love those kids. God's been good.

There is nothing like unconditional love and a warm body that is there when
you need it. And purrs and kisses don't hurt either. Jo That's absolutely true! Cleopatra isn't much of a snuggler generally, but has let us know that at bedtime her place is on top of Nancy's pillows. Tabitha was quite the cuddle-baby when she was a tiny kitten (up until about 6 months old), but she now really dislikes cuddling. She loves sharing food with us, though, sitting on laps and get rather demanding when we don't feed her from our meals quickly enough. Amelia continues to be a snuggle machine, prefering to do so from the top of my shoulders. She *still* greets me at the front door from the top of the bookcase, insisting that I stop on my through the door to let her climb onto my shoulders. Little Sammy continues to be my best snuggler. Wherever I might be in the house or the yard, Sammy won't be too far away. And any time I sit down or lie down, I can count on Sammy joining me within a few minutes. I just can't imagine how empty life would be if I didn't have my furbuddies. Dan |
