I live in a small town in southern Wisconsin (population around 1600). I love animals, especially cats and dogs and I am known as Mom by a bunch of cats. I like gardening (both vegetables and flowers) and I like to read. I also like writing and I have published a chidren's book called Wanda Weird. It's the story of a nine-year-old girl who is bullied by some mean girls in her class and how she learns to deal with them. I work in the garden center at a Walmart in Madison, WI. In the off season, I work in back-to-school, Halloween, Christmas, etc. AKA - "Seasonal". But garden season is by far my favorite.

    From yesterday’s comments, Saucy said, “I bought a garden flag from Wally World that says “A house is not a home without paw prints.””

    We have that flag at my Walmart! I bought one as a Christmas gift for a friend, but haven’t gotten one for myself yet. I do plan on doing that before we sell out of them (we have a pretty good supply yet).

    That is true of a couple of my cats, but several of my cats jump in my lap almost the instant I sit down. And they get in my face and purr and they love to be petted. I wish I could get Panther and Annie and April to be lap cats. But that’s not their way. Ozzie isn’t a lap cat, either, but he loves to be petted. But yet, he always knows when I’m out to catch him to take him to the vet. I don’t even have to have a cat carrier in sight, but he knows when I’m going to try to stuff him in a carrier for one of his rare visits to the vet. And I can pet Ozzie, but he objects to being picked up or held in my arms.

    Nearly every morning when I wake up, Panther is sleeping in the big cat tree that I have in one of my bedroom windows. I keep the curtains closed at night because I don’t like any light shining in the window while I’m sleeping. If it’s a sunny day, I open the curtains when I get up so the cats can enjoy the sunshine. Well, yesterday morning, it was rainy and gloomy out, so I didn’t open the curtains. But Panther was in her usual spot in the cat tree (she has a favorite spot near the top of the cat tree where she always sleeps). I quietly walked up to her and I put my hand right next to her, almost touching her. I expected her to run off, but she didn’t move. I gave her one stroke on her tail and she still didn’t run. But she sort of glared at me as if to say, “How dare you?” Then I reached up and got one stroke down her back before she got up, hissed at me and jumped down to a lower level of the cat tree where she was more or less out of reach because she was hidden by one of the posts. She gave me a dirty look, then she left the bedroom. It wasn’t much, but this was the first time in quite a while that I actually touched her. I sort of gloated at her and told her. “See? I touched you and it didn’t hurt at all, did it?”
