A VICTORIAN CHRISTMAS CAROL OF TWO CATS

2017 was the magical year of the cat or I should say cats. A brother and a sister duo magically appeared at our back door on my daughter's birthday October 27th. It actually was Black Cat Appreciation Day as well in the UK and one of the little ones happen to be black. My daughter, M, and I knew just then we had our story. 

"When a star is born They possess a gift or two One of them is this They have the power To make a wish come true" 






This was January Post for Happy Caturday



Something New and Something Old Theme for Happy Caturday


Bat and Maggie are now 4 years old and today they are making a wish for the New Year.


May our world be a safer place than yesterday.♥️🐾🐾♥️πŸŽ„
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year🌹




WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR


~ CLIFF EDWARDS


When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing
Like a bolt, out of the blue
Suddenly it comes in view
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true
When a star is born
They possess a gift or two
One of them is this
They have the power
To make a wish come true
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longings, ooh
Like a bolt, out of the blue
Suddenly it comes in view
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true

Heart and Soul

Grace, a soul with heart and spirit


In his book "Dog Stories", James Herriot writes of an old woman whose only fear is that she may never be reunited with her animals after death.
Here is an excerpt from the short story "The Card Over The Bed" A very touching and beautiful story.


I went back and sat down by the bed. Miss Stubbs looked out of the window" for a few moments, then turned to me. "You know, Mr. Herriot," she said casually, "it will be my turn next.""What do you mean?""Well, tonight Ben has gone and I'm going to be the next one. I just know it.""Oh, nonsense! You're feeling a bit low, that's all. We all do when something like this happens." But I was disturbed. I had never heard her even hint at such a thing before."I'm not afraid," she said. "I know there's something better waiting for me. I've never had any doubts." There was silence between us as she lay calmly looking up at the card on the gas bracket. Then the head on the pillow turned to me again. "I have only one fear." Her expression changed with startling suddenness as if a mask had dropped. The brave face was almost unrecognizable. A kind of terror flickered in her eyes and she quickly grasped my hand."It's the dogs and cats, Mr. Herriot. I'm afraid I might never see them when I'm gone which worries me so. You see, I know I'll be reunited with my parents and brothers, but ... but ..." She gazed at the two cats curled up at the end of her bed."Well, why not with your animals?""That's just it." She rocked her head on the pillow and for the first time I saw tears on her cheeks. "They say animals have no souls.""Who says?""Oh, I've read it and I know a lot of religious people believe it.""Well, I don't believe it." I patted the hand which still grasped mine. "If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans. You've nothing to worry about there."
"Oh, I hope you're right.

And All Through The House, Not a Stir πŸ’”

Karson will be 15 years old on May 3rd

Karson is the last surviving pet of

"The Three Amigos"





This morning, all through the house, not stir. All three cats were sound asleep and just looking at Karson sleeping it's very clear he knows Grace is gone.



KARSON

The little ones, they too know she is gone.

Twilight at Sea


The Twilight Hours like birds flew by,
As lightly and as free;
Ten thousand stars were in the sky,
Ten Thousand on the sea;
For every wave with dimpled face,
That leaped upon the air,
Had caught a star in its embrace,
And held it trembling there.
