The connection I saw was his religious devotion that led him to constantly kneel and kiss the earth. (Damn those Levi's!)<br />My cat's latest is to crawl into empty grocery bags and fall asleep. And then we go to pick up the bag and disturb His Majesty!Margaret Pangerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09995968579194433270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4356162479428337180.post-29739044807989221712009-08-30T16:33:01.190-05:002009-08-30T16:33:01.190-05:00Thanks, everyone, for your comments.
Septembermom...Thanks, everyone, for your comments.<br /><br />Septembermom, thank you for stopping by. Yes, Mr. Smart knew who his muse was, for sure! Blessings!<br /><br />Erin, as far as I'm concerned, you can't have too many cats. I'll be glad to give you a couple. Just say the word! LOL! <br /><br />Rick, nothing better than a good catnap is there?

That is a dangerous, dangerous place for me to be.<br /><br />And you have me suddenly remembering ten years ago or so when I was on a 10 mile bike ride I found a lost kitten alongside a river. I tucked it in my shirt and rode it home. Kittens in shirts on bikes are not as gentle as one might think! (Sadly, it didn't work out with the kitten. It was gravely ill. But I watched over it until it died.)<br /><br />You are gorgeous as a 21 year old. Your length, yes, your thin, but mostly and undeniably your smile. You've kept your gorgeous.<br />xo<br />erinWoman in a Windowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14747858840088922077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4356162479428337180.post-52005280833214949952009-08-29T21:33:12.351-05:002009-08-29T21:33:12.351-05:00Marion, I'm visiting via Judith's blog.

I love how your Catfish is holding onto his prize of paper towels!septembermomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01570525910483384484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4356162479428337180.post-11684988803754473662009-08-29T19:41:39.699-05:002009-08-29T19:41:39.699-05:00I've always thought that any man who would nam...I've always thought that any man who would name his cat Jeoffry is too cool for words!

What's so funny is I'd had the cat for many months and he'd never done it till that one day. I've taken to keeping the paper towels on top of the frig. They're safe for a little while, until he grows a bit more. Thanks for stopping by. I've really missed your posts. I hope all is well with you and Ms. Bonnie!

We have four other kittens, too. I traded my daughter 2 of my kittens for Catfish when he was a baby, but somehow I still ended up with four kittens. I don't know how that happened. LOL! But we have 'cat tv' every night watching their antics. They love to bounce on our heads at night, so we have to lock them out of the bedroom. Yes, Mr. Smart was a fascinating man as is his poetry!
