I have a problem. Well, really the cats have the problem. At the last count there are four cats prowling around here.
They are scrawny, as in a skeletal frame with a fur covering. Smallish, so not sure if they are kittens or cats. They are quite perky playing boxing each other and stalking the pigeons. Just very thin.
I haven't fed them or anything apart from making puddles for them as I water the garden. I know they would have another problem if I started feeding them or petting them and then left them. It's just seeing them so thin makes me want to fatten them up and isn't the whole purpose of a cat to play with ? !
I told myself I didn't need to own animals right now. That's what we do the minute we give them names, isn't it. We begin to make decisions for them. I was doing so good.
Then the fourth one hung around as I watered, as I took his picture, as I checked every ten minutes out the window to see if he was still there, as I heard myself saying, ''Ay, Bee, Cee, Dee.''
Drat ! ! !
Her conscious tail her joy declared:
The fair round face, the snowy beard,
The velvet of her paws,
Her coat that with the tortoise vies,
Her ears of jet, and emerald eyes,
She saw; and pur"d applause.

Hi Sis,
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to following your exploits in Saudi. You're such a traveller. You tread where no Allsop tread before.
Thought about you this evening as we had couscous for dinner. Do they go in for couscous there or is it just a North African thing?
I'm soooo jealous of your 'help'. No cooking for weeks to come!! Not to mention the washing, ironing etc. Sound like heaven on earth although I know the down side is heavily weighted too.
Anyway, keep the posts rolling.
love from us all in Rouen,
rose
It's me again.
ReplyDeleteJust to say we're off on holday with the gang for two weeks to sunny Normandy (I hope). So I'll be checking in when I get back.
love till then
rose
