My Best Friends

My cats live in this house. You are welcome to come and visit anytime, but we have a few things that you must understand before you visit.

You must expect a few cat hairs to stick to your clothes. I vacuum and clean daily but my cats live in this house too.

You may be leaned on and find them in your lap a few times but they do this because they love people and want to say hello. So if you feel that you are too good for their love then you are not welcome here because this is their home too.

My cats are well mannered and very clean but if you are one of those people who think all animals are dirty and smelly, then go away. You are not the type of person that I care to associate with.

If you don't like the sound of meowing, then my home is not going to be a comfortable place for you to visit.

Do not expect me to lock my cats in another room during your visit. I have trained my cats well so they will not do anything to you except maybe want a stroke on the head. I will not subject them to feel as if they are being punished by locking them away for no reason. That would be cruel.

When you walk into my home, be careful not to trip on a stuffed toy or ball. These are my cats' treasures and I will not take those away from them just to show you that I keep a clean house. They know where all their toys are. The toys may not look like much to you, but to them, they are worth more than gold.

You see, this is OUR home. We have been together since they were small kittens scampering around the house. I raised them to be well mannered, beautifully behaved cats. I am proud of them. I consider them my personal gift from God. They have done nothing but give me their endless love and devotion for many years. I love them dearly and want to make their years happy ones. As happy as they have made mine.

When it was cold and there was no heat, we kept each other warm. When I was sick, they stayed right by my side, as I did theirs when they were not having a good day. Better friends I could not ask for. When no one else cared, my cats did. They have given me nothing but pure joy and I love them endlessly.

When you go home to your family, they stay here with me. Fine and loving companions. They are part of my family and I wouldn't change that for the world.

So please understand that I am not being rude. I'm just looking out for my best friends.
