The more people I meet the more I like my cat...Cats know how to obtain food without labor, shelter without confinement, and love without penalties....
One of our favorite pleasures in life is Brutus. With him there is never a dull moment. He has all these cute things he does that no matter what kind of day we are having we always stop and smile. As far as both Arvid and I are concerned he is the best stress reliever there is.
This morning we woke up and as soon as we step out of the bedroom Brutus is ready for us....same every day and we love it! Today as he was walking Arvid towards his food, a routine they have quite a few times per day, Arvid looks at Brutus and says " you were quite voiceful last night you know". An ordinary kitten will ask more questions than any five year old and this is Brutus everyday.
Hearing this I just stood there and laughed at them. Arvid says that Brutus is like a child since he is always following him around and always wanting to be in close proximity of us. Brutus is even jealous of the neighborhood kitty we talk to. Instead of getting excited Brutus just walks away from the window when Cyrus (kitty) shows up.
Have said it before and will say it again and again....Brutus was the best thing to happen to us in recent years. Neither of us can see life without him. He is part of everything we do and all the plans we make. When buying a place, planning a vacation or just going out for the evening Brutus is always in our decisions. These days whenever we go anywhere Arvid says to Brutus "we're not going to be gone for long so don't worry, we will see you in a little", when we bought our home Arvid said to Brutus, "boysie soon you will have a new home" and the best and most precious thing he says to him is "I love you". Every time I hear this I am more in love with this man.
If you are worthy of its affection, a cat will be your friend but never your slave...
until next time...
