Clea
Clea is MY cat, I am proud to say. Her full name is Cleopatra and I believe she is aptly named. Clea likes to go outdoors but with winter habitating the outside, she has been staying indoors and mostly on my lap. I feel quite honored to be in her company.
Today, I think I detected a sign of Spring coming soon. Clea tried to climb up to sit in the window. In the Spring, Summer and Fall, I keep the windows open as much as I can for the fresh air. Clea likes sitting in the window. In my last house, I placed bird feeders right outside of the windows so Clea could bird watch inside. Somtimes, I would watch along w/ her but I was secondary to this game.
Today, as Clea tried to get into the window, she turned around and looked at me. We started a conversation, telepathically. She wanted to know why I wouldn't open the window. That particular window holds her interest as there is a bird's nest in the rafter that is part of the balcony on the second floor. I told her it is much too cold to open a window. We chatted about the pros and cons of windows open on a cold winter's day and finally she agreed it is better to be warm inside when it is cold outside. But, she said, the next house we have she would much prefer a "Screen House." No walls, no windows, just screens. I told her I could only do the next best thing and that was to place bird feeders in the windows for her again. She grudgingly accepted this alternative. This conversation w/ my cat is a sign that Spring is soon coming to our neighborhood...or I'm going Bonkers! Take Care. LK
