@nicolecampbell Lots of thanks Nic - We had smoked salmon, goose liver pate, and a smidge of beluga caviar. Since Elsie wasn't in the least interested, I had to clean her plate. LOL All my best, Les x

[Leslie Manna]

[Leslie Manna]

[Leslie Manna]

@maggie2 Thanks you Maggie - She may not have the allure of one of your wonderful "big cats", but she is "as sweet as an apple on Christmas Day: (with a hefty amount of spunk and mischief thrown in ! :D) All OUR best, Les x

[Leslie Manna]

@girlie Ahhh, thanks Robin; she really is a most wonderful "fur person." All OUR best, Les x

I love this, Les .... totally!! It's a FAV. Cats have always been a big part of my life and have, in fact, saved my sanity at times. This is a gorgeous pov and lovely clarity and colors!

[Leslie Manna]

@karenann Wow! Thanks a milllion for the fav....it's such a great compliment. Cat's (I call them "fur persons :D) have always been in my life too. My first memory (1 1/2 yrs old) is of our cat!! They have helped me through some painful, hard times. Ta Ta for now, Les x
(P.S. A fun, little "cat book": The Fur Person, by American poet, May Sarton.)

[karenann]

YES ...love her writing, Les. Thanks.

[Leslie Manna]

@karenann Oh clever you. :D OK, try another one: James Herriot's cat stories; they're sure to warm the cockles of your heart. Les x

[karenann]

LOL ...Love him too, Les. Believe me, I've tried to read every cat book that our library has! And have re-read some. Thank you so much for your info and your caring. Your cat-loving friend, karenann. :) xo
