You Are The Cat's Meow

---

This husband and I…

Find ourselves veering away from our intended shopping tasks…ending up…in the cat stuff section…pick up dry cat food…the coveted shreds in gravy…a toy or two…and this time…old cat softie that he is…threw in some of that godawful tuna paste in a squeeze up pouch…funny thing…

We don’t even have cats…but we do…have the boys…and those boys…have our hearts…Old Man Wrigley…making an appearance on move in day…cautiously watching from a distance…never leaving his driveway…won us over…coming to visit when his mom is at work…quiet…wary…scared of his own shadow…loves snacking…attention…and cuddles…

Then there’s Hot Rod Roddy Piper…neighborhood roamer…maybe has a home…maybe not…just can’t tell…carefree…spunky…adorable…loves to play…eat…sleep…loves boring old people…and loves…his best friend…Old Man Wrigley…

The boys…greet us every morning…keep watch over the backyard all day…enjoy some family bonding after supper…while we all watch…the sun go down…

Those boys…give two old people…something to get up for…to look forward to…to love…and what a blessing they are…

And this husband of mine…agrees…
