It is a gusty wind and is picking up odd
things around the place and tossing them around in the street like
playthings. Things like empty plastic
bottles, bits of cardboard and packaging, the odd shopping bag, and even a
McDonald’s burger box. Most of them race
past too fast to pick up, they dance around in front of you and then the wind
picks them up and they are gone again.
Thankfully the rain has stopped and the clouds are beginning
to break up and show some blue sky hiding behind them. No matter, I have put off my shopping again
and will go tomorrow if the weather is better.
No sense in going out if not really needed.
Teenie, the scaredy cat |
Teenie has the right idea.
She is the oldest of the three cats living here, and is cosily curled up
and snoozing, except for that eye keeping a wary watch on me! She is 15 years old now but still healthy and
sprightly.
Her only fault is that she
is, and has always been, a scaredy cat. She
will spook at anything and spends most of her waking hours hiding behind chairs
or under tables, watching the world go on around her but not participating in
it. If she gets disturbed she will scoot
off for the nearest exit and disappear for ages before finally sneaking back
inside.
Teenie is very attached to my son who has had her since she
was a kitten and is also the one who feeds her.
His bed is the only one she will sleep on, and he is the only one who
can get close enough to pat her. Not what
I call an affectionate cat at all, although she does now accept me in the house and no longer hides from me all the time.
Until next time,
Margaret
Teenie is beautiful. Its strange how animals, the same as people, have such different personalities. xx
ReplyDeleteSounds like my cat Grace, she will only sit on my lap, and she hids when anyone, including hubby comes in the house, she will sneak out if she knows the person, but family and friends know not to try and stroke her, and no one ever picks her up.
ReplyDeleteScaredy-cat indeed. Cats tolerate us the best of times. She sure looks cozy there.
ReplyDeleteWe have had wind like you but it seems to have eased off now, hopefully we'll be out in the boat this weekend.
ReplyDeleteCats change over time, sometimes. Our Bubbie cat was definitely all about my daughter and husband till he broke his leg. Then it was me that would get on the floor and wrap myself around him when he still had a cast on. Since then, he is my baby. He likes everyone, but he LOVES me. LOL
