On my toes

I love having a cat.

Of course I love having a cat.  My cat is Bella, who has been scientifically proven to be the best cat in the universe.  But beyond that, I love having a cat simply because it keeps me sharp...quick-witted.  Steel-nerved.

You never know where the cat is going to turn up.

You can be going about your everyday business,

and if you have a cat like mine, it can show up out of nowhere.  Some people might find it disconcerting.  But look at this sweet face!  I can't think of a time when I haven't been thrilled to see this face.

Well, okay.

ONE time.  But just once.

Thanks, Bella...

for keeping me on my toes.
