Roxie and Jean Claude are back at my house or their other residence. They seem a bit tuckered out but happy to be here. They understand whether here or at CCL’s they are loved.

When the Cats Are Away
Roxie and Jean Claude are at their other residence. I miss them but I do welcome the chance to reclaim my home. When they go to CCL’s house, I undercover furniture and put away their toys and their scratching posts . I visit them at CCL’s house. We all need time for solitude and renewal. It allows us to recapture our spirit and reflect on the many blessings from God.
Baby It’s Cold Outside
Many of you know that Jean Claude pats the windows blind when he wants us to raise them so he can look out at the world. We had some snow recently and it’s still pretty cold so JC doesn’t exercise his option to go outside. JC can go out because he stays in the yard and comes back inside in a reasonable amount of time. Roxie is a bit of tart and once let outdoors feels its her prerogative to hang out all night so she’s pretty much on lockdown.
The Critters Are Still… At My House
Sitting Still
As many of you who read this blog regularly know, Roxie and Jean Claude have two residences: my house and my daughter CCL’s house. CCL was to pick them up from my house Thursday night. Yet as I write this blog Roxie is watching the computer screen intently, perhaps trying to see what I write about her and JC. Yep, they are still here. Although still is not the operative word. Yesterday morning they were fighting like cats and dogs. I say dogs because Jean Claude , a black Bombay, thinks he’s a dog. It was quite a fight – lots of running, leaping screeching, meowing and clawing and fur flying everywhere, mostly Jean Claude’s. Roxie is pretty feisty. Still?? Earlier this morning I went to get one of my winter tops out of the closet. The tops are usually stacked neatly on top of shelf in the closet but Jean Claude has a habit of pulling them out as if sorting them for something to wear. Sure enough, tops scattered everywhere on the closet floor and a sky blue velour top I like is no where to be found. There I said it. Sorry JC now the world knows your secret. JC also knocked down a bag containing CCL’s jewelry wrapped in plastic and began playing with the plastic . He then went to get him something to eat and demanded (by patting on the front window blinds ) I raise the blinds so he could see out the front window. So despite the clothing and jewelry fetish, Jean Claude is all male. In fact he spends a great deal of time in his cave.
A Necessary Guest
They say sadness often arrives before change. For some of us it can be a welcome even comforting feeling in that the grief, the denial, the hurt we buried for so long hoping for a different outcome is finally released. With sadness we are set forth in a sea of change. Sometimes it’s change that’s causing the sadness but we have an opportunity. We can become courageous. Change is often for the better. The journey to its creation is sometimes filled with tears, misgiving, regret and then hope, clarity, insight, growth and action.
