And this is Sammy
And this is the other cat, Sammy. He's your usual I'll-hang -out- with-you-if-I-choose-to kind of cat. He's also smart. And, I have to admit, he has a beautiful coat. If there were a cat I would like, Sam is probably the closest I'd come.
Sam is the one who sits in my kitchen windowsill, drinking up the sun and chewing any flowers or plants I place there. He's the one who climbs on my wall unit, and sits for hours watching the fish tank. He will at times become attracted to the TV, and sit under and watch it with us. He makes me laugh, but he's also a cat. It's a character flaw I just can't seem to get past.
Both cats understand. They know I don't wish them harm, but I don't like them. Not really. I'll feed them, and at times even pet them. But still.
Of course, that means I'm the one they come to. When I sit on the sofa, Rocky immediately jumps in my lap, nomatter how many times I put him down. No matter how often I sit at the desk, Sammy comes over to watch the computer screen and head butt my arm, shoulder, etc. When I sit in the office chair, they take turns jumping on the back of it.
When I come down in the morning, they meow a greeting. I don't let them out from the basement until everyone else is up, because we close the rooms upstairs to the cats. They've learned theat, and don't cry to come out. They just give a morning meow. Just in case :)
We are unable to have dogs at this time. We don't have a yard, and we're just not home enough for it to be fair to a dog to be cooped up and then not have the yard to excersize in. And the girls just really needed a pet. And as K said, "But I can't play with the fish." Point taken. Every kid, if they can, should be able to have a pet at least once in their childhood.
So cats it is. So long as we have our understanding. I wish you no harm. I admit you're cute. I just don't particularly like you, so much. But I love the love you share with my girls.

Rocky
He's not the smartest cat, not even by a little a little. But he's super affectionate, thikns he's a dog, and finds a way to almost be downright loveable. Well, for a dog person. But he's cute, and my kids think he's terrific.February 7, 2009

This was the scene at our house last night... a little Wii, a little iphone, and an itouch to watch a movie. I couldn't resist snapping the moment!
