Very foggy morning and a bit chilly.
Coming back from being away from home and resuming familiar routines is so welcoming. Keeping busy with things I love doing helps with the monotony of life because it gives me something interesting to do ... keeps my mind stimulated.
This was the first book I read by Louise Penny's Inspector Gamache series. Gosh, when I bought this book I wasn't aware that there were over ten books in the series so unknowingly I started with this book which is book number 12 however, it wasn't confusing at all. I enjoyed it very much and now I can't wait to start with book 1 which I do have sitting on a stack of books on my bedroom floor.
Looking back at these pictures from a year ago I can't help but smile at how cute and tiny Lila was. Ever since Sydna brought her home Lila has always been wild. I guess it's her breed and those claws hurt like heck but her biting wasn't bad since she was very little. Just look how tiny her head was. Her fur is very soft too.
I call her Trouble sometimes. Even when she was this little she had no fear.
This was the first time I had to cat-sit her because Sydna went to Portland with a couple of friends. At night I would put her in Sydna's room and close the door. I felt bad about her sleeping alone but I didn't feel comfortable having her roaming around the house and getting into things plus I didn't want her eating Sophie's food and end up getting sick.
My book buying slows down somewhat once October comes around. The holidays have arrived so I have to split my spending between Halloween/Thanksgiving decor and buying books.
She even fit inside a back roller. This cat!
Climbing furniture. Not cool!
And at only months old she would walk up to Sophie and have a staring contest. I'm telling you ... she had no fear. Sophie would sometimes hiss at her but she didn't feel threatened so most of the time she would just stare at her but when Lila would get too close Sophie would sometimes swipe at her or just walk away.
No respect for personal space.
I like to catch Sophie in mid yawn but usually those pictures come out very blurry. This one's not too bad. Geez louise! LOL!!
She's being cute in this one. She's always sweet though. Calico's typically are.
And this one makes me laugh. The look of inquisitiveness. Since this was a selfie she was probably thinking, who's that calico staring back at me?? (lol!).
Doesn't she looks cute?! So skinny and tiny. So cuddly! .. even with that look of indifference.
Perhaps one reason we are fascinated by cats is because
such a small animal can contain so much independence, dignity,
and freedom of spirit. Unlike the dog, the cat's personality is never
bet on a human's. He demands acceptance on his own terms.
