Holding On
While this may not be the best shot…you get the idea. Miss Kitity climbs screens. We’ve tried everything we know to break this habit…but she keeps coming back as determined as ever. She came to us as a stray kitty. We don’t know if she had been accustomed to being indoors, but we have to be very careful going in and out or she will slip right in behind us. It breaks my heart to shoo her back out again. And for you who are cat lovers, you probably think we are the meanest people…but we have too many in our family who have severe cat allergies. We just can’t let her in.
But, oh how pitiful she looks, hanging on for dear life, usually her small nose pressed against the screen, trying her best to see what we are doing.
You know what? I think I know how she feels. Right now, to be very honest, this is exactly how I feel…as a writer. I’m hanging on for dear life…what I want is just on the other side of that screen….and I want in.
I can’t make Miss Kitty understand it’s not that we don’t want her…but other factors preclude our decision. And the bottom line for this funny little cat…it would be better for her to turn loose of the desire to get into this house and look for another home.
In the meantime, we’ll both continue to hang on and hope for an open door.
Keep hanging in there! Miss Kitty cracks me up. I’m so glad she’s around to entertain us.
Miss Kitty is almost a story waiting to happen all by herself!
Keep hangning in there…”abide” “inside” his care, “intentionally” with a “purposive” heart and “joy” will come in the morning
Wow, Cherie!! That was a great use of words! i’m going to write that down and use it in a few months : ) I’m impressed again!
Julane, I’m just remembering Bob’s face last week when that cat landed on the screen! It still makes me laugh…calm Bob wasn’t looking too calm!
Oops! I forgot about “content.” I could finish that statement with “…and then you shall be content. There…got all the words covered!
Poor kitty!
