Cats

Cats have always been a big part of my life. When I was a child, an orange tabby adopted our family during a blizzard and my mom named it Lawrence. When the cat had kittens in the closet, she became Mrs. Lawrence. After all, we were an Irish Catholic family and couldn't have an unwed mother in the house. She was with us for 13 years and to this day is a legend in our family.

Everyone in my family has had at least one cat. I currently have three males - Davey, Poppei, and Jazz. You'll be meeting each of them in later posts, but I have to say my life is never dull with these guys around. They are spoiled and loved and know they can twist me around their paws.  

I love cats because they are independent, curious, impudent, loving, needy, and demanding. I love the complexity of cats, never knowing what they think of us or what they are planning to do, their disapproving stare and the orders they issue when they want something. Dogs are wonderful too, but there is nothing like a cat!
