My 'foster' cats...

I don't get to have any pets where I live...  so, my USA friends that have pets are well loved by me whenever I get to see them.  This is 'Dovie' (she's gray like a dove) actually belongs to my friend's next door neighbors- but, she likes to hang out at my friend's house instead.   She is sweet, doesn't roam far, but only likes to be petted just the right amount... (as in:  not much)  However, she will lay down on the grass and meow exposing her belly in a 'oh, please, please, please pet me now' message.  *She doesn't really mean it though.

I've got a scratch just right there...  If I bend just a certain way... I'm sure I can get to it??    Dovie (girl) and Tom (boy) are great 'cat friends'...

This is "TOM, the CAT"... he loves me and I love him.   He was the cat that I rescued a few years ago.   My friend adopted him, got him 'fixed' and he is happy to have a home of his own.  His sweet nature meant that he just wasn't meant to live on the streets.  He still remembers me each time he sees me- which will be a year between visits.


 "Maybe if I act all cool like... she'll notice me and give me kitty pets?"   *He loves to be petted and purrs his thanks loudly.


If you look under the blog entry for: http://iwouldratherbeknitting.blogspot.it/2013/04/my-summer-foster-cat.html you can read more about TOM.
