Cat people.
Dog people.
And those in between.

These days, I would definitely classify myself as a Dog person.

But.

Years, ago, I was among the Cat Crowd. I had the great fortune of knowing a little feline dude named Bud.  Hamilton was his real first name.  He was an amazing cat and really good friend.  He pulled me through some tough times, I’ll tell you.

He was the last cat….  the last incredible cat I’ve palled around with.

Since that time, the cats in my life have been neurotic, weird, sketchy, paranoid, withdrawn, and unfriendly.  I think I was give the “one great cat in my life deal” and from this point forward…. no more feline wealth for me.

Some of my friends have super kitties.  A lot of people I know have good luck in this way.

Today, I was afforded a visit with two of those cats.  We had a substantial, and splendid visit.  Lots of purring and rolling around on the floor, and rubbing faces on door jams.   And then there were the cats.

Mostly it was a happy time…. but on occasion, I felt that Lucy was taking issue with Gracie about something…. or another.  But all and all… I think they like me.  And I sure like them too.

They’ve invited me back.  So tomorrow I am going to drop by with a cage full of mice.  Oh the fun we’ll have.   I can hardly wait to take part in a good game of cat chases mouse.   I just hope my friends won’t mind……
