Kitten tails...

About a month ago our cat, Spartacus, disappeared. I'm sad over this and can't ever remember a time in my life that I haven't had a cat. We got a kitten a week ago today from my friend Jennifer and named him Sheldon. (as in Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory) He's an adorable little grey and white ball of fur. If you're a friend of mine, you've already seen about 50 pictures of him. But in case you haven't, here is a picture of him.





Sheldon sleeps with me. Or maybe I should say on me. In the picture above we were snuggled up in the recliner. That was just a nap. This cat insists on sleeping in my bed all night. He lays down on my pillow and snuggles as close to my ear as he can possibly get. If I move, he grabs my hair. If I turn over, he lays on top of me, he is the king of my bed.

Today I was out on the porch when this really cool little orange/yellow cat showed up. Not sure where he came from. I fed him (and yes, I know he'll never leave;) ) and now he has taken over the couch. I named him Mordecai. Mordecai and Sheldon are really good friends. Just a few minutes ago the two were cuddled together on the couch snoozing.

The life of a cat is so easy. You show up, someone feeds you. You wake up, someone feeds you. You poop, someone scoops it out of the litter box. About 90% of your day is spent sleeping. What's not to love about being a cat?

I still miss my Spartacus and if he does show up, I'll welcome him back home and introduce him to his new brothers.

Just call me the old cat lady.
