I was laying in bed reading before bed, while Beast (my cat) was doing everything possible to steal my attention. After he walked over my tummy three times, nibbled on my pen, climbed on my shoulder and squirmed his way into the 9 inches between my body and book, I looked down at him and said, "Beast, I love you and I'm never going to give up on you." I put down my book and looked into his beautiful yellow eyes and pet his soft gray head.I realized that night how much I care and love my little Beastie. I've never been one to care much for animals. I always felt that people who post pictures of their animals at work or on Facebook were freaks. Well I guess I can now be categorized with them. Beast and I are a package deal for as long as he lives. I can only hope cats do live to have 9 lives and that I get 8 more out of him.
Taking care of my little furball has added much joy to my life.
