My sweetie pie

I stayed home from work today, not feeling too well, and so my Bobby crawled up on the bed with me.

He snuggled up to my breast and licked me with long sweeps of his tongue. It tickled and so I chuckled and tried to push him away. But his weight pushed me into the bed as his heart beat against mine.

His whiskers tickled my flesh and his warm breath feathered my skin as he caressed me so tenderly.

Then he moved off me and showed me his bare bottom as he tossed me a knowing glance over his shoulder.

He rubbed against me again and then returned to my chest where he made himself at home as he so often does. There's no doubt my Bobbie adores me.

Here's a picture of my sweetie pie, Bobby.



Isn't Bobby just the cutest guy?

I don't understand people who think cats are aloof and don't care about humans. If you met Bobby, you would instantly change your mind. He loves to be with people, especially with me. He was a better mother to Stacey's kittens than was Stacey.

How many of you are working moms? Let's swap some tips. I did NOT take my kids to Take Your Child To Work Day yesterday. Now I'm feeling a little guilty and wishing I had.

Why didn't I?

First, I thought the 17 year old was too old plus she didn't tell me she wanted to go until the last second as I was leaving for work. She would have been a foot taller than any of the other children. And she gets bored in about two seconds.


Secondly, the 13 year old's been acting up a lot. He'll be fine one moment and a brat the next. Honestly, I was afraid to let him loose on my coworkers and give him an opportunity to embarrass himself and me. He did well last year when I took him to my job with me. But this year, his behavior's deteriorated. I'm trying to figure out what's bothering him or what's going on.
