Inner Peace: This is so true
If you can start the day without caffeine,
If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it,
If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment ,
If you can conquer tension without medical help,
If you can relax without liquor,
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,
....Then You Are Probably ..........
The Family Dog!
Amen!

Just goes to prove what I always knew...I am a Cat.
Jump on your lap without permission. Or steal the "warm" spot.
Position myself on the bed so no one else can move. And you should be glad I am there!
Will take a taste of food off your plate...whether you are looking or not.
You can call me all you want ...but, I will give you MY attention when "I" am ready.
Take naps in the afternoon sunlight...Please Do Not Disturb.
And when I purrrrr...you think it is all about you...lol
Now we have Moms older dog in our home of 3 adopted felines, all with different personalities.
Amy is the ancient one, AKA the fossil, the tortie Frankie, is sweet, innocent and a purrr machine, who will pull out stands of my hair, like she is grooming me...lol, Then the Siamese who we renamed Buddha, and that is what she looks like ...sometimes sits with her back in the corner and legs spread with her Buddha belly hanging
Max now steals the cat food/ while the old cat Amy steals the dog food.. :o
Max was brought here "terminal"..but he is looking better than ever!! must be all the Omega from the the cat food???
Mom never brought Max to my home as she thought he would kill a cat...we watch standoffs in the hallway...or Max hanging back while Amy the Fossile drinks water. She has been meowing a lot of late(cat senility?) and Max gets concerned and will sniff her to check her out...lol
So we are cat people who turned an 11 yr old lab into a lap cat.
Hahahahahahahaha!!! That's hilarious! I was reading and thinking, "this person is crazy if they think anyone can be like this!!" I was kinda getting mad. Then I got to the end and busted out laughing!
Thanks for the laugh! :)
Right Loribelle. I was reading it like the poem "If" was much happy when it made me laugh...but I think I'm likin the whole cat thing more. I wish
XOXO

..forgot to share with all... that Max the Labrador turned cat has also commandeered on of the cats' mouse toys ...lol...and it is the one that has the pull string so it moves across the floor.
Well, he just looks at it ...waits for it to stop then carries it in his mouth.. ???
If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
Max takes meds for swollen joints and hops along some days on three legs, I can feel the pea sized lymph nodes :-[...and still will wag his tail..nuzzle to be petted, even though his appetite will be off (so I give him a treat..a tablespoon of cat food... flaked salmon or tuna..yummm)
??? as a side note/ question: do you think animals have less sensors to pain?
what Loribel said.....lol.
