I Love New York Travel

My kitty is a polydactyl cat. I never had such a cat before. Her sixth toe is like an extra appendage, but it has no muscle– it’s got a claw and a paw pad, but she cannot control it at all. It makes her feet look big and clumsy. And she definitely moves clumsily, too! If pets qualify for health insurance in this day and age, would they also qualify for social security disability? I mean, she can’t do things that other cats can… like walk across my desk without tripping all over the books, keyboard, and coffee cups! :-p

But she’s quite the conversation piece. ;)

Watching cats bath themselves is relaxing. They are peaceful. So meticulous. So quiet. I need the quiet solitude right now; life is incredibly hectic. I am absolutely thrilled to have so much work at hand! It’s hard to believe that just six months ago, I was on the brink of anxiety, wondering where my income was going to come from. Lo and behold, God opens the doors and I have tons of work. I have been very, very blessed to work for a company that is well-managed and gives me plenty of work. I write on various topics, anything that interests me, from how to make wedding invitations to fact sheets about inventions. Plus, there’s blogging which is very pleasurable. But golly, I am so busy I have no time to relax.

So I enjoy watching my kitty, beside me, while she does it. :D

Here they are. They’re scoping out my gardens, with eyes on my list of vegetables to grow this year.

I used to love deer. But now I despise them. They eat EVERYTHING. How ironic that I used to want one of those majestic outdoor décor deer statues. No longer! I certainly don’t need one….

This is the largest group of deer I have seen wander into my yard. Usually, it’s two or three young ones, with a mother in the grass. This is a LOT of deer. I live in suburbia, too.

*sigh*

The deer have become a big problem. I wish the state wouldn’t so stupidly regulate them.
