When I was on a business trip to Philly and called home, I had to talk to the cat because he was missing me so much. Yes, cat makes me happy.

Whenever we go on vacation, we talk about the dogs and how much we miss them. (Even the dalmatian.) And when I say "talk about" I mean EVERY DAY.

my sister used to periodically have me sit on the phone - long distance - so her cat could "say hello" (facepalm)

P-C, I've pretty much decided not to go up to be with my mother and sister at Christmas ... which for them IS a big deal. I get the whole "Christmas is for families! it's so important for us to be together!" and then they pretty much ignore me until I'm leaving. The aggravation, cost, and physical and emotional discomfort just isn't worth it.

In better news, my hair is RED. I have a new colorist who not only matched the color, but improved on it. My mother's mother came from a family of redheads (German, by the way) and I'd periodically longed for red hair. Once my hair had gone mostly white, I took the plunge. And haven't had many regrets. It requires upkeep, but between the red-depositing shampoo and conditioner (Aveda, fyi) and the fact that the white hair grabs the color and holds it, it stays red.

"CAT makes you happy?"

Cat makes me very happy. And sometimes very annoyed. You know, like living things do.

Cass is smart.

The cat comes up in conversation all the time. Nathaniel made me very happy because he sat in my lap for hours last night. For the first time.

It was sunny . i was going to plant tulip bulbs. However it is now dark and scary looking out there

I am very VERY stressed about traveling wed. Specifically flying at 6am when it's supposed to be snowing and people are rumoured to be insane. I think i need to reschedule meet n greet w/ the cat sitter tonight in order to go swimming. No, really.

We talk about our animals all the time, too.

When one of us is away on business, we'll sometimes talk to one or more of the cats during phone calls home. Teddy loved to listen to us on the phone. He had such a loud purr, you could hear it over the phone.

You pet people are weird. ::snuggles up to papa P-C::
