Merry December 26th

It's the day after Christmas, and the snow and the memories are melting behind us.
What looked like it would be a white Christmas on Monday night, turned out to be a slushy windy affair after Santa had left the presents under the tree.
With gifts, family, turkey dinner, and sparkling lights though, that didn't seem to matter.

 Every year, Kitty abandons me to sleep under the Christmas tree.  And this year was no exception. 

Have a happy December 26th everyone, and I hope you had/are having a wonderful holiday....whatever it is that you celebrate.

On Being a Crazy Cat Lady

A couple of months ago, a friend informed me of the crazy-cat-lady requirements.
"Kiersten," she told me, "once you have five cats, you officially become a crazy-cat-lady."
Day 56

At the time, I thought I was safe.
Phew, I only have one cat!
But, in retrospect, I may be worse off than those women with ten cats stuffed into a one-bedroom apartment, sharing 3 litter boxes.  

she was intent on learning what the big black thing was that I insisted on shoving in her face
My entire life, I've always had a cat.  Through every move, every birthday, every heartbreak, I cuddled up at night with a Calico, a Tabby, a Siamese, and the list goes on.  Now, just a few months away from 21, I don't know how I could live without a cat.
Even just the few months away at school make me miss the black and white cat hair all over every article of clothing, the clawing at my bedroom door, and the not so subtle good-mornings of a little pink nose shoved in my face.  
So maybe I am a crazy-cat-lady (although perhaps I should let go of my former plan to have my cat as ring bearer at my wedding someday. Too far?), but I don't think I'd have it any other way.

How about you? Do you have a pet you couldn't live without?
