These stories are mine.
They’re drawn from my own life, observations, and experiences.
And many times, I write of the odd way I see the world.
Most often I turn them into a story, once in a while, a song.
Enjoy your stay, but don’t expect the expected, because, most often, I don’t see things that way…

Now that was awesome and something I never expected. I didn’t even consider the horse. 🤣
In a perfect world, such a life
Outdoor freedom and chasing mice.However, in the area, which I live
Only one guarantee I could give.Turkey vultures, Hawks, and more
They spend their lives as prey and not much more.So for now, they’ll take their window scene, and afternoon trips to the backyard catio (16’x8’) in between.
Felix just got himself another like on YT.
Thanks!
Not deaf in either, but if he doesn’t want to do something, he acts like he is.
Awesome cat!
I’ve got a few of them and will be posting. Thanks!
Thanks friend! 🙏
We spend a lot of time with these guys. The end result of an abandoned cat breeding home (when the tenants moved out, they simply left the cats).
Long story short. We fed, befriended, fixed, then fell in love with them.
I write what I see or what I think about as we care for them. Their stories are applied to pictures and hopefully we can share some of the happiness they bring us to everyone.
I’m glad you like them!
That’s an impressive amount of certainty about a life he’s never lived.
He doesn’t know whose hand the man has held, what he’s lost, who he’s loved, what he’s given, or what he’s done when nobody was watching.
Yet somehow he’s appointed himself qualified to measure another man’s humanity.
That’s the irony here.
He wrote an entire paragraph about compassion while demonstrating none.
He wrote about love while using it as a weapon.
And he condemned someone for thinking only of himself while never once considering that he might be wrong.
If this is his demonstration of what it means to be human, he may want to choose a different example.
Photobombing by the black Kitty did not go over well.
You speak of her fondly. And knowing that her ‘judgmentalness’ is increasing as time goes on, she’s perfect!
Molly is beautiful!
Turn back the clock, and my Ginnie looked exactly like your Molly.
Be advised, if you think she judges now, just wait till she gets her formal robes! (Meaning her darker color.)
And if she’s anything like ours, she’ll love you just as much as she judges you.
That’s cool.
Now it’s easier for me to answer question you originally asked. Where I come from, we called it respect.
Thanks for taking time to explain and I’m really glad you did.
That is absolutely NOT the intended perception of the word ‘respect’ I was shooting for.
What do you call it when someone you don’t know takes time out of their day to greet you, welcome you to the neighborhood, and actually listened to what you had to say? And there were three of them.
That’s the definition of respect I was shooting for.
And while it’s not mentioned in the writing because it would make it even longer than it is to find included every detail, we showed them the same respect as they told us about themselves and the neighborhood.
More importantly, what did it mean to you when you read it?
If I answer first, there’s a chance it would guide your response.
And that way I can see how close to intention I made perception.
Thanks for the kind words! She did become another perfect addition to the family.
If you enjoyed her story, the next one I post about her will be how she got her name.

I’m just bummed that I won’t be in the audience to see it.

No objection, the opposite in fact. Appreciation!
I wrote the words to share the experience.
Thanks for helping share them.



Works for me!
