Happy Halloween :)

Surprise!! Did I scare you?? It really is me!! I had to take a bit of a break over the summer. We had record heat in my neck of the woods and summer is always hard for me but for some reason this year was just especially brutal. I also was having a lot of CNS (brain) problems which made communication very difficult. On a good day--I have trouble stringing more than a couple of words together, but when my brain is not working correctly--FORGET about it!!

SIGH!

I really want to thank those of you who took the time to check in with me :) and also those who just keep me in your prayers.

Halloween is just around the corner...don't you love this time of year?? I just love the pumpkins, the different colored leaves...just the beauty all around--take time to appreciate it!

Have a Happy Halloween.

Until next time....

Gentle hugs,

Cats aren’t clean, they’re just covered with cat spit.

Quotable Sunday #6

Another Sunday--Another Round of Quotes for Quotable Sundays--YAY! Head on over to A Daily Dose of Toni's to sign in and make the rounds of everyone else who has checked in for the day--and remember we ALL love to hear comments :) Since this is my Ragdoll site---the quotes are about--guess what?? Kittens and cats...so let's get quoting...

The cat seldom interferes with other people's rights.

His intelligence keeps him from doing many of the fool things that complicate life.

-Carl Van Vechten

A countryman between two lawyers is like a fish between two cats.

- Ben Franklin

To please himself only the cat purrs.

- Irish Proverb

There are people who reshape the world by force or argument, but the cat just lies there, dozing; and the world quietly reshapes itself to suit his comfort and convenience.

- Allen and Ivy Dodd

The cat has too much spirit to have no heart.- Ernest Menaul

People that hate cats will come back as mice in their next life.- Faith Resnick

There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast. - Unknown

Its easy to understand why the cat has eclipsed the dog as modern America's favorite pet. People like pets to possess the same qualities they do. Cats are irresponsible and recognize no authority, yet are completely dependent on others for their material needs. Cats cannot be made to do anything useful. Cats are mean for the fun of it. - P. J. O'Rourke

A human may go for a stroll with a cat; he has to walk a dog. The cat leads the way, running ahead, tail high, making sure you understand the arrangement. If you should happen to get ahead, the cat will never allow you to think it is following you. It will stop and clean some hard-to-reach spot, or investigate a suspicious movement in the grass; you will find yourself waiting a fidgeting like the lackey you are. But this is not annoying to cat lovers, who understand and appreciate a good joke, even when it is on them.- Robert Stearns

Time spent with cats is never wasted - Collette

If cats could talk, they wouldn't.

~Nan Porter

If animals could speak, the dog would be a blundering outspoken fellow; but the cat would have the rare grace of never saying a word too much.

~Mark Twain

The reason cats climb is so that they can look down on almost every other animal - it's also the reason they hate birds.

~K.C. Buffington

Are we really sure the purring is coming from the kitty and not from our very own hearts?

~Emme Woodhull-Bäche, translated

Kittens are angels with whiskers.

~Author Unknown

Everything I know I learned from my cat: When you're hungry, eat. When you're tired, nap in a sunbeam. When you go to the vet's, pee on your owner.

~Gary Smith
