Photo Hunt - Warm
The theme for this week's Photo Hunt is warm. Here's the not wife under her blanket on the couch with Bebe taking the opportunity to warm herself too.
i see you have 'lap leeches' too :) mine can never be too comfortable or too warm. they burrow in and the little one snores like a fiend. the big one just lays there and stretches full length- and i am the one who can't move and get comfy :)
this is just the way it was for me an hour ago except it was my kid snuggling instead of the cat. :) it was very nice and i pretended to be asleep. a very bonding moment too
This picture makes me miss my parents house.. Our kitties used to sleep on us just like that!! My pic is up.. if you get a moment.. http://amandanelsonphotography.blogspot.com
"Lap leeches!" Never heard the term before but it sure fits! I love to sleep in the cool weather with a critter to cuddle - besides hubman, that is! ~~~Blessings~~~
I do wish my cat would spend more time cuddling up to me. Benjamin makes a perfunctory clamber up for all of about 4 minutes and then curls up at the end of the bed.
I can think of few things nicer than napping with the kitty. Mine has passed on and I miss her still. This is a lovely photo, it really shows true warmth!
After seeing this, I feel the need to snuggle up..... Beautiful shot, and so warm! :)
Sorry to hear about Mimi, I just read it now. So sad. It's never easy to let a pet go, it feels like a family member has left. A couple of years ago, a friend sent me this when our cat died... I thought it was lovely:
Rainbow Bridge - Author unknown
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Believe me: can it be a better than when a Cat, warm you? We have two Cats. They are very dedicated to each of us. But, when the one- Felicia - jump up in the teh Bed--- Well - that's warm
Wonderful photo of your beautiful partner, snoozing so sweetly, and of course her comfy warmth enhancer. And thanks so much for visiting my blog, much appreciated.
The cat looks happier. Fewer worries and a better groove to snuggle into.
