Cat people.
\nDog people.
\nAnd those in between.<\/p>\n

These days, I would definitely classify myself as a Dog person.<\/p>\n

But.<\/p>\n

Years, ago, I was among the Cat Crowd. I had the great fortune of knowing a little feline dude named Bud.\u00a0 Hamilton was his real first name.\u00a0 He was an amazing cat and really good friend.\u00a0 He pulled me through some tough times, I’ll tell you.<\/p>\n

He was the last cat….\u00a0 the last incredible cat I’ve palled around with.<\/p>\n

Since that time, the cats in my life have been neurotic, weird, sketchy, paranoid, withdrawn, and unfriendly.\u00a0 I think I was give the “one great cat in my life deal” and from this point forward…. no more feline wealth for me.<\/p>\n

Some of my friends have super kitties.\u00a0 A lot of people I know have good luck in this way.<\/p>\n

Today, I was afforded a visit with two of those cats.\u00a0 We had a substantial, and splendid visit.\u00a0 Lots of purring and rolling around on the floor, and rubbing faces on door jams.\u00a0\u00a0 And then there were the cats.<\/p>\n

Mostly it was a happy time…. but on occasion, I felt that Lucy was taking issue with Gracie about something…. or another.\u00a0 But all and all… I think they like me.\u00a0 And I sure like them too.<\/p>\n

They’ve invited me back.\u00a0 So tomorrow I am going to drop by with a cage full of mice.\u00a0 Oh the fun we’ll have.\u00a0\u00a0 I can hardly wait to take part in a good game of cat chases mouse.\u00a0\u00a0 I just hope my friends won’t mind……<\/p>\n

You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.\u00a0 –\u00a0 Albert Einstein<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
