So glad you enjoyed my romp with animals in play mode. Thank you! So fun to see them revving up to play. Just makes me smile.

Thank you Sara! It is a joy to read your messages and a joy to be a source of uplifting encouragement. And, yes, cats are interesting critters! Turns out their facial structure is different from dogs. While dogs seem to smile because their facial structure is like ours, cats have to show pleasure in other ways! Learned that on PBS. Hope you are well. Sending bunchs of blessings to you!

We seem to have half adopted a cat - she belongs to someone else, but every day, without fail, she visits us at about 5.30p.m. Very Cute, I enjoyed your Haiku enormously. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Hi Jennifer! Thank you! Due to an unexpected, but very necessary, trip north I am once again sadly way behind - trip was extended by SNOW - lots of it! You half adopted cat is one lucky kitty! I love watching cats and dogs getting ready to play! You know fun is getting ready to explode! So glad you liked this one. Hope all is well as we prepare to celebrate glorious Easter! Hugs and blessings!

Cats are really intriguing creatures - full of fun and a bit of mystery. I can see how you like writing about them. Thank you Robert for your positive thoughts! All the best.
