About cats and envy


It is good to have a nice thing, it is even better when others want it too.
This little story was written today by Sosie for her mother. It has a nice feel to it and an allegorical spin, and very bloggable. So enjoy it, as we did.
Hi Mom,
Snowball is curled up in her "winter cave" for a mid-morning nap. It is lined in black velvet and has an electric heat pad under the pillow. I bought it for her two years ago when we first took her in as she is old (her converted cat years equaled mine at that time) and deserves some softness and warmth, especially on dreary, rainy days when Mr. Shearer sees no reason for turning on the central heat!
For whatever reason, last year she stopped using it so I put it away on a shelf. Samuel found it and started using it so I brought it out again. When Snowball saw Samuel in it, she suddenly remembered that it is HER cave and she LOVES her cave and she has been using it ever since. She looks good in it, don't you think?
