You articulate the wonder of our feline friends so well, and I needed the reminder to pay attention to them at this time of acute stress in my life. May you yet have plenty of time with each of your cats, but especially your Gus.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7754684819908801536.post-11915307871793888602013-12-13T12:40:34.442-07:002013-12-13T12:40:34.442-07:00What a tribute to Gus!

So untrue. I loved your post and it gave me very happy memories of my fur babies. I am especially fond of Orange Tabbies….I have a rescue dog now…and she too has that accurate internal clock. I am humbled by her adaptiveness and how she observes and learns our habits and adapts herself continuously. She is such a blessing. Pets are definitely "Angels with fur"". Merry Christmas to you and your family.<br /><br />PS You mentioned Sun City…where is that? I know of Sun City in CA, Nevada and Arizona.

It brought a lump to the throat of this confirmed cat-lover. Our pets can teach us such important lessons if we're only willing to watch and learn.Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7754684819908801536.post-20355057159537659882013-12-11T20:57:50.092-07:002013-12-11T20:57:50.092-07:00Hi Kathy, Gus is reminding us that we need to stop...Hi Kathy, Gus is reminding us that we need to stop and smell the roses as life is to short. Age means nothing anymore, when it is our time we will be called to heaven. Gus shows us that we need to give that hugs to family. Make time. I loved the pictures of your cats. Thank you for your post tonight. Hugs and Prayers from Your Missouri Friend.

Oh, yes -- and that's exactly why you grab every cuddle, you stop and give them the love that they give to you.<br /><br />I can't tell you how much I love this post, Kathy. I think you know why -- Gus reminds me of Gypsy. And you are right about lessons. I wrote about that long ago (pre-blog) when Stimpy died and have again and again with Gypsy. Now Lizzie is teaching me new things, mostly related to self-control! I have long believed that our pets are our guides, sent into our lives to teach us. I can tell you have learned the lessons of Gus very well indeed. Savor your Fancy Feasts (or Whipped Cream, as the case may be) -- I hope they continue with Gus for a long while.

Perfect.)Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7754684819908801536.post-18580553137934155662013-12-11T16:31:28.577-07:002013-12-11T16:31:28.577-07:00I always liked animals better than people.They are...I always liked animals better than people.They are not judge mental and always come to love you when you need it the most.<br />We most certainly can learn a lot from them.
