Here's Silly!

Here's a few pictures of Silly. She is still young, tame and cute. She runs around with the other cat (second picture) that the people who live at the Comfort House seem to feed and maybe care for. It's hard to know. Talking to residents, it's not easy to figure out what's really going on. Robert, who is pictured with Silly in the third picture talks quite a bit. He's told me stories of the residents, the employees and the neighbors. I am careful what I say to him.

Cats at Home, Cats being Patriotic

Dee was taking pictures - the first two portray cats being dramatic. The second two - cats being patriotic. These were taken at home.

Silly

Silly is the new cat next door - there is a sort of group-home behind us and the residents sit outside in the good weather and one of them is VERY talkative and told me all about the cat. I think she stays inside part of the time. She's little, black, and lithe - still partly a kitten. Of course she's not fixed. I will try to get pictures up this weekend.

Election Day

Oddly, I am full of hope today, election day. Living in a small town in the middle of Missouri there are a lot of McCain-Palin signs - my neighbor has three in her yard. The rumors and tales are plentiful - buying in to every conspiracy theory about Obama. Meanwhile, I am full of anxious hope that Obama will win - stifled glee that someone who isn't embarrassing, portraying us as nation of hillbillies, has a shot at the Whitehouse-someone who sounds smart and hopefully IS smart! When the pollsters call, I somehow have gotten on a list and have gotten at least 2 calls from live humans a night, I tell them, "Obama better win." Now, all we can do is wait and see. I don't know what I hope for - the government will continue to tick me off. I just feel an impending sense of relief that our nation's status in the world can be mended.

By the way, I did get a small camera so I will be photographing this brand new day. There is a new cat next door - they call her Silly. She is small and social. She begs to be a star!
