August 19th:
We have a little cat, we call meep... that's not her name per say but she responds to it. I've had her since late fall of 2001, so in June of 2016 she will be 15 years old.
She doesn't do much but sleep most of the day away. She doesn't play often but when she does it catches our attention. Two weeks ago she found one of Nola's marbles and was batting it around the house, it made me chuckle. When Nola got home from being gone for a week, I told her meep had stolen one of her marbles- she thought it was funny.
We bought a laser pen to try and get meep to play and she would but for limited amounts of time, which was so cute to see that kitten return to her tiring body. Meep limps around the house, I'm pretty sure she has arthritis. I used to put fish oil on her food to help with her joints but her protest made it clear that she wasn't into the new way of preparing her food.
When she was a kitten and just a younger age she used to cause mischief like most other cats do. It's been fun to dote upon those days since she isn't much like herself anymore.
I still love our little meep, she comes out and does her little pretty kitty routine on the floor If your sitting on the floor and she's been known to imitate Lily when she's on the floor, all for attention of course.
Though meep can't speak like we do, I know there's gratitude in her little cat heart. Pets, though they can be a lot of work, being a certain something to a home that I am grateful for.
