Ah, to be a cat.  All is well in my world.  Plenty of activity on the lake today.  The geese were very active, squawking away at each other, picking fights.

What can possibly go through their pea brains I cannot imagine.  One minute they’re asleep and the next they’re locking beaks.  Go figure.

As if that weren’t enough, the squirrels are active too.  A couple of them raced across the deck, stopping to eat just right in front of me.  Oooo, to be able to get a hold of one them!

After a morning of following their antics, I’m tired.  Time for a cat nap.

As every cat owner knows, nobody owns a cat.

Good news from the vet blog at Catster.  The question was asked if it was OK to give your cat milk, or as in my case, yogurt.  Cats and milk is one of the combinations that are so linked, like thunder and lightning, Bonnie and Clyde, Laurel and Hardy.  According to Dr. Barchas, some cats cannot tolerant milk while others can.  I’m a part of the fortunate latter group.

Chris is all about healthy eating.  She’ll enjoy her yogurt snack and let me lick the spoon.  Yoplait Fat-Free is my favorite.  It’s calcium without all the fat and calories.  Have to keep up that girlish-figure, don’t you know.  So, if you’re like me and I know I am, enjoy that bit of dairy.
