Tex, A Migraine and A Squishy Ball

Last night I actually heard Tex being cute. It was around 3:00 am and I was laying in bed recovering from a migraine. First I heard his little footsteps coming down the hall. At the same time he was "talking" softly, sweet little "mews" (this suggested a mouth full of squishy ball--however sometimes a mouth full of squishy ball can sound like a cat in severe pain--this was not the case last night). Then I heard him come into the bedroom and "WHUMP!" he flopped down onto the floor and stretched and rolled about. After that there were several little "whump's" as he smacked the ball around the bedroom. It was sweet, relaxing and soothed me right back to sleep.

A cat can be trusted to purr when she is pleased, which is more than can be said for human beings. ~William Ralph Inge

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind. - Buddha

Most of us rather like our cats to have a streak of wickedness. I should not feel quite easy in the company of any cat that walked about the house with a saintly expression. ~Beverly Nichols

The trouble with cats is that they've got no tact. - P. G. Wodehouse

I have developed a deep respect for animals. I consider them fellow living creatures with certain rights that should not be violated any more than those of humans.
