Comes Alive With Cats

Hippie-like, wearing flowered house dresses, she dances.
Adorned with calicos, and tabbies, she glides around her kitchen.
There is a lemon-smell to her; it is amazingly fresh.
Oatmeal too, and fresh Dove soap. 
My nose likes sniffing her.

She comes alive when she is home with her cats.
A different person, someone who cares, open, honest, free.
When I want a raise I go to her home, and admire Fluffy, her favorite.
At work she is the boss, dressed in a suit, nothing open about her.
I read her proudly.

Daring double life... LOL... Paint her a great cat-painting. She'll give you automatic raises annually from now on. ~ Gershon

It seems we all have at least a double life; I am nothing like my work self at home.

Oh, I ADORE this one!! And the title is SO apt (as always)! ;D Funny how people have their "public persona" and real self (which can be so strikingly different)! A FAV for me! ;)

Cats are as unique to themselves as cat ladies.

They surely are, even the ones who look alike are not alike.
