nicholas joseph purry — caturday

Nicholas is the clowder’s caboose. He’s another of the Runaways’ ( https://www.runawaysanimalrescue.org/ ) rescues which I adopted because of his little hard luck story I read on Love Meow. He’s the one who wants to play with everyone, including the people in this house. He likes to run up and then down across my lap when I’m sitting. He likes to run up into chairs I’m standing next to so he can say “Hello!” in his own special way. And with his extra front toes, the way he props his forelegs and paws on the chair back, and that sweet look on his face, I can’t help but hear him (if only in my mind) saying hello and asking what I’m doing and can he help.

Without exception all of the cats in this household are just so sweet.

Thundery Saturday. Tropical depression Arlene, which formed in the eastern Gulf, is heading south out of the Gulf and over the western tip of Cuba (now that’s a switch!). While that’s happening, the storm is pulling rain bands across central and south Florida. Meanwhile the cats are finding spots all over to nap while the rains and the thunders pass over us. It’s going to be interesting at 2am tomorrow morning when everybody decides it’s time to play.
