The Acid Test!

“I meant,” said Ipslore bitterly, “What is there in this world that truly makes  living worthwhile?” Death thought about it. “Cats’ he said eventually. “Cats are nice.”  – Terry Pratchett, Sourcery

“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

Our house is very tall (very high ceilings) with small rooms and little storage.

However, there are other matters to tend to first!

Exhausted, they curl up to replenish themselves. Ah, perchance to dream… 

 

Bisous, Colette, Simone and the human
