As if I had that kind of magic ability! Someone must have drugged them all to get those photos. They sure do love boxes, though.

no drugs required. An open box is magnet. Even the BIG cats like them. ))

I have become quite a nap-master myself. You know how to put grandma to sleep, don't you? Sit her down in an armchair.

Absolutely cannot live without cats. 25 at a time growing up from Alphonse to Zenobia. Each timed out in turn. Always at least two. Only 5 antiques now, down from 9. sniff. Had a cardboard cat when I drove semi.

I'm with Kate - my cats are a must. We had cats for 50 years. Bbut with the dementia Dan's thinking was scrambled and he wanted to get rid of them. I told him flat out - they go - I go. Fortunately, he took me at my word - we all stayed. Today, I have two rescue cats - Bella and Bailey. We're a pretty good threesome. But I would love to have others.

I saw photos of those little beauties some time back. If I remember, one is black and one is tortoise-shell? Good buddies, no doubt.. would love to have one, but where I live they have to be kept indoors. I don't want that.

I haven't lived with a cat for a long long time, but they sure are good companions. Hard to be lonely with a cat on one's lap.

They DO, don't they? Purely fiction, Meg. I haven't had the good sense to live with a cat for a long time. Happy week-end to you. Step away from the desk.

Mine were gifts, two from family members, and one anonymous! Imagine my surprise!! All came with individual personalities, and all were cherished possessions.

I so enjoyed this story, Sharron. Brought a smile to my day.

They brought a lot of fun ( and gophers) into your home and now you are catless. Well... maybe some day! Thanks for reading my story.

Haha! What a fun post. My brother’s been wanting a cat for a while now. Maybe I’ll send him the six-pack bundle for his birthday in August... 🐱

I have been told by a reader that the six-pack bundle is the old cat lady's starter kit. Glad you liked it, Justin!

That's a great deal just for the accessories alone! Reminds me of the spider monkey I bought through the mail. But, he was mean. Finally gave it away to the local pet store.

A monkey! Whatever possessed you! You better write that story. A cautionary tale...

I think my wife would order the six pack, with the deluxe Amazon kit! You could be a 5 star, cat distributor!
