ReplyDeleteI have just walked past the Red Room to find Cat asleep on my pillow in a state of perfect abandon. He seemed so utterly relaxed, I even managed to restrain myself and not bury my face in his belly. Oh, Cat, teach me how to be so peaceful.
I think I may have put something up like this in the past. But yes. Cats. Love 'em.
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking the same thing as Red! Do all cat-owned humans rub their faces on their cats bellies? There's just something so inviting about that spot. Plus, a purr and a headbutt will make the worst day ever simple disappear.
ReplyDeleteGreat list Tanya! Except for the American marine comment, you've obviously never been drinking in Alberta...my hometown's military rugby team...now there's a group that makes a great drink, and great people to drink with.
Karen: I should have specified. American Marines in Herziliya, Israel.
ReplyDeleteThis is my riff on No.20, posted back in March.
ReplyDeleteOk, you didn't mention LOCATION! You win on that one!
ReplyDeleteNumber 18 is just too funny.
ReplyDeleteI knew a Marine once, never got around to making any drinks with him though. ;)
