This is Emily. She is happy snuggling against my leg while I binge watch something on Netflix.
She is such a cute heart--sometimes!
The last few weeks have been crazy. I know that it is not just here but everywhere with the fears over the virus. Also, just life!
I wanted to share a small moment with all of you.
A few weeks ago I was having a DAY! However, I was handling it! The wildfires in Australia, the strange new virus, the usual work issues that most people face in their everyday life. I decided to vacuum the carpet because, hey, I am blessed with 2 long-haired cats.
Well, that slightly more than a year old vacuum cleaner wasn't working and the calm (ish) grown-up that I thought was had a meltdown. (I'm a bit embarrassed to say)
I sat on the sofa, crying, and then felt a tiny little bump on my foot and heard a meow. It was Miss Emily and I think she was trying to comfort me. This is the same feline who is afraid of plastic bags and loud noises. She kept it up for a while until I picked her up and gave her a hug and she allowed it for almost a minute!
That is all. I wanted to share this with people who maybe feel the same way. I am exhausted after a long, hard day so please forgive the typos etc.
Take care of yourself. Be aware of the tiny things that come into your life that make your heart happy! When I have rested up a bit I hope to visit the other blogs.
Sometimes things just get to you.
ReplyDeleteGood thing you have cats. They really are the best therapy.
All they ask in return is some food and scritches :)

Totally unstandable and glad you have the cats for comfort.
ReplyDelete(((Hugs))) I'm glad you have Emily (and Winston!) to comfort you. I find that I have melt-downs not usually over a single huge thing, but the accumulation of little things. The straw that broke the camel's back, as the saying goes. It's perfectly understandable, entirely human. I hope this week goes better, and I hope you all stay safe and healthy. Purrs from Derry.
ReplyDeleteEmily is a sweetie. Cats do know when we need them most. XO
ReplyDeleteWe completely understand. And so does Our Human. It happens to her too - quite a lot, lately.
ReplyDeleteEmily, what a sweetie you are! Humans let all kinds of stuff bottle up, then it just explodes outward. Please be kind to yourself; crying is an acceptable behaviour!
ReplyDeleteSuch good advice Such good kitties.
ReplyDeleteSometimes we all need a furry cuddle.
