It's very dark, dreary and stormy here this afternoon, and although at least it's gotten cooler, it's just been one of those days. But I was looking out my back patio doors and saw the cutest little bird taking a bath in the bird bath in pouring down rain! He kept jumping in, flopping around, jumping out, and then back in again, about five times, all the while with the rain pouring down on him. That was one happy little bird!
I've also been loving Missie, my little cat who is missing her big sister, as am I - she is so sweet, but it's very hard without our Baby Cat (my avatar). And I'm going next door several times a day to look after Jack, a very handsome Bengal with those beautiful blue eyes, just to give him some loving and let him know he hasn't been abandoned. My neighbors are at the beach. He's a sweetheart, too.
There have been so many contentious threads here on other forums off and on today as I've been checking in and out, I just decided to concentrate on a couple of the simple, wonderful things we sometimes take for granted, like sweet cats and adorable little birds!

I think it is great to take time to be thankful for simple things. Baby cat is beautiful. We can learn a lot from that little bird.

I enjoyed your post, kittymomNC! I love birds and cats as well. I have a hummingbird feeder outside on my back deck and also on the opposite side a small birdbath that sits on the railing. I have goldfinches that make trips to the birdbath all day long. I lost my 18 yr. old female cat, Mollie last September. I miss her terribly. I have a younger female cat, Haylie that is 13 and she misses her big sister too. She doesn't spend as much time watching the birds as my other girl did, but I enjoy it a lot!!
Thanks, Lori Kaye. I understand totally about your Mollie. We just lost Baby Cat at age 17 on May 9 after 4 years with kidney disease and almost 500 trips to the vet. I used to post a lot when people had questions about kidney disease, but I've only mentioned this a couple of times on the forums. It took a while to be able to put her picture in as my avatar and see her when I post.
This post has been partially deleted and edited due to the flagrantly sarcastic remark about this thread in the Fashion Forum, as explained in my post #11 here.

PamfromCT, it sounds like you live in such a lovely place, although I must admit, I can't imagine living where the bears and bobcats wander through the yard! Sometimes I just have to stop and watch my little "critters", the chipmunks and squirrels, running around the yard, and my cats have always loved lying on my desk (which is of course not really my desk since it has a blanket on it for their window bed), and watching them out the window. I feed the critters to draw them closer to the house, and it's kind of low to the ground there so they could get a good look... although Missie is alone there now.
Someone once told me that if he were ever reincarnated, he wanted to come back as one of my cats, because I pampered them so much! It sounds like your Lily has a wonderful home!

Doxie, thank you for your kind words. My little Baby Cat certainly was beautiful, and so sweet and loving, and so many other descriptive words that I can't say them all. If only more people were a little more like our animals, what a wonderful world we would have!
