CATS OVER COFFEE/ANTICS AND ATTITUDES

 "Sweetheart, cats sure rule! We need to add on to our home!"

THIRD CUP OF COFFEE

Cats rule! My wife and I figured this out very early on. When we got our first cat we got her a bowl and a bed. A little later on we brought home a cool cat condo for her. As she got older and had a weight issue we got her special weight management food. Then when she had a problem with incontinence a different blend of food for that issue.

Over time our home became more and more like a day and night care center for seniors!

When we got a second cat, a second condo. When we had three cats at one time, three condos. After all,  we surmised, they each need their own space, or should I say personal condo.

Not to say that they didn't have the run of the entire house. As I said earlier, we had already realized the true owners of our home.

At one point two of our cats had real issues. Boogie was suffering from diabetes and needed shots in the morning and evening. Sonny was having bouts of incontinence and frankly making a mess in the house. We like to keep a clean and tidy home so were getting concerned and my wife one day said, "What are we going to do? We can't have Boogie and Sonny inside with this going on."

It is at this point that one day, after surveying the back of our home, I came inside and said to my wife, "I've got the answer for Boogie and Sonny!" Her look was that of dire consternation and regret. I then proclaimed, "No problem, we will add on to the back of the house and build a separate room for them. They will have plenty of space and we can put their condos in there."

So that is what we did. We built a nice comfy room for them and relocated them to their own pads so to speak. Not only did they live in comfort they became the very best of buddies. 

It was only appropriate that Sonny became the boss and Boogie his kind of soul mate. You could always tell with Sonny that he was watching out for Boogie. When Boogie would get her injections for diabetes Sonny was always right there watching over her and making sure that she was ok.

Sonny was making it clear that if we messed up or hurt Boogie we better be prepared to get whacked. Recall how Sonny was named for my wife's favorite character in the Godfather!

So that is the way it is with cats.

Our endearment toward them grows stronger and stronger over time.

In addition, their endearment and bond between each other is amazing indeed.

With cats in our home it is truly always a win win situation.
