Companions

One of my cats. It’s good to have something as a companion when you find yourself on your own. The fact you have something to look after holds you together. You can’t easily give in to sadness when creatures rely on you. Life has a way of kicking your ankles and letting you know you still have responsibilities. Thankfully it’s also good to have friends to help out. They know who they are and how much support they have given me (buying catfood and shopping while I’ve had covid).

It’s going to be a long journey, but having my companion animals will help.

Lie in…

Thought I would quickly do a #bandofsketchers prompt. Mostly lying in at the moment, various cats come and share the bed or lie on me and squash me. Keeping warm together. Quick doodle lying sideways in bed.

Keeping warm

Find a warm spot and curl up. You can put your nose under your tail and snuggle down. Cats are lucky to have tails. Making them cuddly and comfy.

Apart from sleeping for hours a day? They are funny and playful. They are intelligent and charming. They are sometimes naughty too! Being a cat in a house can be a pleasure, but some people are cruel and unkind. Cats like all pets need treating with love care and attention. They will love you if you do. They are, awesome companions if you get the right ones.

On our bed

You lie on the bed, quite sweet

But you take up half the space

And though you look so neat

I still can’t find a place

To put my feet!

Cat painting with gold leaf

This popped up on my Facebook memories today. My little cat, simple painting, but with gold leaf. I used it a few times because my friend had given me a book of gold leaf. I know I found it hard to manipulate. I did enjoy using it though.

Look who’s on the bed

A night visitor, all prowl worn out, purring gently, wants love. Left me no room while I was out. Now do I move him or let him stay? Gentle purring makes that decision easy.

Brothers?

You’d think they were brothers

A single mom?

But no, they are not

Two mums, not one.

Each boy cat is happy

One is fat

He’s big and he’s round

He stays on the mat,

The other is older

On a bag, flat!

My other cats female,

Much more aloof

She’d rather be sitting

Up on the roof!

Poor cat

He’s on the stairs, sleeping. He’s just home from the vets. He’s got an abscess below his eye and it burst while he was at the vets. I’ve got antibiotics to give him for the next few days. It will be difficult because he doesn’t like having big tablets, he doesn’t like them crushed in food, so we will try with a syringe and a little bit of water again. He hates having his eye wiped, I want to get in there and bathe it but he struggles and fights back, poor cat.

Companionship

What is good about having a pet?

They keep you company

They keep you calm,

They are funny,

Hilarious, sometimes

Worrying at others.

They are not critical,

They need you,

Food, water, shelter

Give them a space

In your heart.

Flopped

When it comes to relaxed

Cats do it best

They can flop in a heap

Sleep in a ball.

Find a new box

And make it home!

Twisted and turned

Twizzled and whorled and whirled,

See how they sleep

Not always neat

But really deep!
