My 8 year old niece and my 18 year old cat are hanging out in California. I am happy about this, because I have not seen nearly enough of my baby Persephone in the last 10 years, and she deserves all the attention she can get in this old age of hers. Rebecca's cat, Mohegan, died a few years back so Persephone has been left alone, to guard her food from the raccoons by herself. Akiva, on the other hand, is spending some time in California with Gran and Grandpa, going to day camp and amusing herself. It seems that a sweet old lady cat takes the place of her younger sister in nicely. Here's what my mother had to say about Akiva and Persephone:
Persephone is getting smothered in love...Akiva picks her up every chance she can get...hugs her, carries her like a baby, scratches her tummy, sits with her on the skateboard and rides down the ramp...that one is a hoot to watch...so far Persey has been very tolerant of it all and hasn't unsheathed her claws, yet...she will get a tad vocal and look at the floor if she doesn't like things but not much else...
It is 9:20 PM and Akiva is stretched out on the glider watching Cartoon Network...Persephone is on Akiva's tummy, nose to nose, purring away...a blue airline blanket is warding off the night chill...
I'd be purring, too.
