My Bear, guard kitty,
Holding me down on the bed
So I won't float off
We currently have two cats and a dog. On cold nights, and even when it's not cold, I commonly awaken to find that Bear is on top of me, and Musica wedges me in as well.
Even turning over in bed becomes a challenge. ;-)
Musica is at left, Bear on the right.
Great haiku and wonderful photo of your kitties. They are beautiful! We have four cats in our family.
Thanks!
We had three before Musica came to live with us, but unfortunately we lost both of our white-with-black-spots males to unknown causes. They had both chosen us, and essentially sowed up on our doorsteps; one in Florida, and one after we moved to Tennessee. I am grateful for the time we had with them, as they were both amazing and wonderful cats.
When Edit died, I was devastated, as he simply stopped eating and wasted away. Musica came to live with us a bit less than a month later, after showing up on a neighbor's doorstep, which was a blessing for me and for Bear.
Bear actually adopted Edit as a kitten, when he was about seven years old, which as you probably know is highly unusual for an adult male cat. He's one of a kind. He's my cuddler, and hugs my neck while I hold him, when he's not hanging out on the back of my chair.
Musica is my barn buddy - she usually accompanies me to the barn twice a day, when I take the goats out and put them back in their stall, and she's not even bothered by inclement. Our dog Lolo says no way, and stays on the covered porch when it's raining, but Musica usually leads the way, and waits to accompany me back to the house. Bear often, but not always accompanies us, but he's with Lolo, and stays in the house during bad weather.
I adore our kitties. And all our animals. ;-)
Sounds as if your Bear, Musica and Lolo all have unique personalities. I have also known a few male kitties that have had very nurturing personalities. It is always heartwarming to witness the kindness in animals. Thank you for sharing the stories of your furry family.
Bear has surprised me time and again. He is a sweetheart, and a very old soul.
