Zarah OFFLINE Posts: 1526 Thank you received: 30	How adorable, both the animals and your daughter. Watch the new show # 911. In the After Set you will enjoy another quilting cat. So here are my two hunters, rather big cats, some call them panthers. Josefine is the most talking cat. She beats every siamese.

That's funny Lorchen, because Guinness and I have a mutual respect for each other too

Sounds to me like you are becoming a cat person!

My husband is very definitely a dog person and I am definitely a cat person. My kids love both equally. But my son is allergic to dog hairs and has recently started reacting to the cat when she gets too close to him - which is often as she likes to lie on anybody's chest once they are sitting down on a sofa. My mother and two of my sisters are allergic to cats too. I really wish there was a cure out there.

I must admit that I am not a cat or dog person. Looking after my son's cat (long story) since last Easter and for about another 5 or 6 months has been totally out of my comfort zone. When my son and his partner got her she was about 2 years old, according to the vet. She was just a handful of fur and bones. With decent food and tlc she is now a very healthy cat, but she goes straight into hiding when anybody comes to my house, and often the claws come out when she doesn't like anything. But Guinness and I have developed a mutual respect for eachother and she now spends most of her time next to me and loves being stroked. I sometimes wonder what her life was like before Chris and Kerri rescued her.

Here she is a couple of weeks after they got her.

I supose it was just that you forget that they can be just like ordinary people like you and I at times......lol lol lol .......

she is an incredibly talented and famous celebrity so of course you put them up on a pedestal, the book is a beautiful one, and as you stare at the cover page and then gently open the book and pour over the first few pages in awe of the stunningly built home, the fantastic idea of using the exterior of an American barn as a home, the craftsmanship both outside and wow wow the inside, the gardens are just stunning, and just the glamour of it all, then you come to her introduction and she writes:

My bedroom gets that pure clean light of early morning, and I'll reach for my laptop and papers and work in bed for a while. Here's the real truth....Samantha (dog) has usually fallen asleep at my feet, and I don’t want to disturb her..............

It's a bit hard to put it in words but I do hope you get my drift......

Zarah OFFLINE Posts: 1526 Thank you received: 30	Please post that paragraph. I love the stories of our dear companions. I have two cats and one of them often claims that she needs my chair. Even if we shift chairs she wants the other the next day. There's nothing like a warm chair . My other cat (who was a dog in an earlier life) never bothers me. She just sleeps beside me when I'm working.

Well I have Pebbles a toy poodle which is only a small dog (who I think was a cat in an earlier life) and when ever I sit on the lounge to do some hand sewing she jumps up on my lap and pushes the hoop aside and spreads herself across my lap and chest, so I sit with my hands in the air level with my face and try to hand sew.......gee then I have people say to me why don’t you move her.........well she is asleep and I don’t want to disturb her silly

......and yes she too loves to paw the sewing scrap basket over and crawl into it and come out with all bits attached to her wool.

Have any of your read the first paragraph of the book by Barbra Streisand on interior decorating called "My Passion for Interior design", I laughed myself and could totally understand what she was saying.
