A house without a cat

A house without a cat, and a well-fed, well-petted, and properly revered cat, may be a perfect house, perhaps, but how can it prove its title? If a house is to be a home, it needs a cat.
Mark Twain

Does a barn cat count? My daughter is terribly allergic to cats, so we can't have one indoors. I have a dog that could be a cat!

I couldn't agree more. Glad you are in the land of pussycats again.

I don't have a cat, but it gives me much pleasure to walk by a house and see a kitty sitting in the window. That says home.

I so agree. Before Zebby took over my life I used to borrow my neighbours' cats for cuddles.

Zebbycat would agree only he's just snuggled down under his quilt for a snoozle, and he's far too busy feeling pampered and adored to notice.

What a gorgeous looking Tabster!

care and huggles, Michelle and Zeb

Pets are wonderful and add so much to our lives. We are currently without cat, but past felines have included Tookee, a white cat whose name I am told is one of the Inuit words for 'snow.' There was also Inker, an extremely inquisitive cat with what appeared to be a smudge of ink on his nose. When I was a girl, we had a cat named Old Grey Tom, who made his dislike for cigars apparent by burying one of my uncle's in the folds of the throw rug and giving my mother fits until she realised what it was!

The Cast

This is my main blog insofar as it is the one I try to ensure has at least one entry per day - and usually two. It is also the one which has my Friday My Town Shoot-out on it.

My home is in Pensby on The Wirral in Cheshire, England but at the moment I am on holiday in the Outer Hebrides, staying at my brother's near Stornoway. (Somewhere I have a little map that says I am here and points to Stornoway but I can't find it and am too lazy to make another one). This is the cast of characters who appear regularly:-

Me - sometimes known as CJ or John and otherwise known as Scriptor Senex; Jo (alias Partner-who-loves-tea and also known as Partner-who-hates-being-photographed); Bryony (Food-loving-Daughter); Bryony's husband Mark (Son-in-law-who-cooks); Helen (Daughter-who-takes-photos); Helen's husband Ian (a.k.a. Son-in-law-and-Friend-who-loves-Otters); Richard (Son-who-watches-films);
