Tolerance

The living room couch is a favorite spot for both Denny and Boo. The cat follows D around constantly, patiently waiting for him to lie down so that he can hop up and plop himself down on D's chest. Because D is reading 3-4 books a week plus the newspaper, these scenes are common right now.

D is not a cat person but I've never seen him shoo Boo away. I think he likes the cat but can't quite verbalize the bond. It's a challenge to manage the reading materials with the cat juxtaposed between eyes and paper. Eventually, says D, the cat gets hot and moves to a higher perch where he can look out onto the backyard.

Tolerance.

  1. Perfect! Love these photos.

    I'm the cat person in our house but our male orange tabby Zinger seriously bonded with my husband.

    And now he's a cat person too. Well, at least ONE cat.

    I'm glad Laura is blogging too...what a great way for you to keep up with her goings-on.

    You'll be there soon!

  2. My dad has the exact same bond with our cat, Koko. He won't admit it, but he loves her! We think the reason she has lived so long (she's almost 20) is from all the attention she gets from him :)
