I have one dog and a cat (who adopted me). But since my granddaughter and I moved to San Antonio, 3 or 4 other cats seem to be adopting us! I love watching them. I keep food out for them and they stop by for a meal and a visit each day. One we call Tux sits in the sun with our Angel in the backyard. She's never let another cat stay near our home. Something different is happening. Most of all, it's a pleasure to watch the "goings on" that occur around all of them. They have such different personalities and habits. They are a good reminder to me to accept people and "critters" just as they are....much more interesting that way! ma
