Cats are Cool


This is Boots. One of our two cats. After we sadly lost our Alaskan Malamute Mystee earlier this year from age (she was 13 and had a great life), the two cats have, well, taken over. They each have a daily routine, which for Boots, centers totally on being fed. She also is having a ball messing with all the Christmas decorations as they are being set up, especially the lower ornaments on the Christmas tree.

Our other cat, Lucy, is centered less on food than she is on looking for fun. One of her favorite things is to attack the strings on the hood of my sweatshirts, trying to pull them out. She also likes to leap in bed on top of us late at night, jarring one awake with a jolt. Hard to believe how heavy a 15-pound cat can be when landing on top of your stomach from several feet above. Lucy is also my "work buddy" and one of her favorite positions during the day is to be seated next to my work desk in her "rocking chair", watching my every move on the computer keyboard.

Like the title to this post reads, "cats are cool".
