Cats on Saturday night

Tonight I was going to talk about the Nasturtiums in the garden -- how it's 5 degrees Celsius
(33.8 Fahrenheit), and how I don't want them to die, as I've been picking them every day
with great pleasure for a couple of months, and they're beautiful. Plus I've painted some
very happy paintings featuring them.

Then as I was thinking this, our cats started vying for the kitchen heat vent. And scrolling through my
photos, I saw this sweet photo.  Our cats rarely cuddle, but they did when we went to Paris
last May, because they missed us, and they might cuddle again because of the cold.
Fiona is 17 (she's the smaller one) and Monet is 3, she's looking very tired in the photo.  

They are super affectionate with us. They love our dog Sally, and they do not like to see us
troubled about anything.  Tonight is movie night, and they will get upset that we are watching 
TV too long (kind of like overprotective parents).  At the same time they'll appreciate the
long, warm snuggles with us on the couch as we watch our movie. They are of course annoyed 
by the cold.  They love sitting on the back porch with us, but not in this weather.  And they don't
 go out without us.

Have a loving your life day.
