My cats are the best listeners!

IT'S SO QUIET IN HERE.

Having my children grown up and out on their own makes for some quiet times! My girls use to always be my audience when I needed their opinions and wanted to read back my books or other writing to them.

ALL I HEAR IS PURRING.

However, I still have a selective audience---my three cats! They will sit around on my bed and listen intently as I read to them, acting like kids during a bedtime story!

Gus and Toulouse, our Maine Coons, stretch out at the bottom of the bed, as Calee, our almost 20-year-old, sits by my side glaring up at me with her big green eyes. Sparkee was our other cat that would curl up next to me. She was 18 and the dearest little thing who would always sit there with her legs crossed like quite the lady. I miss her. All our cats we've had over the decades were rescue kitties. :)!

So, why not treat them like children? --- They are absolutely part of the fam!

LOVE IS INSPIRATION.

Inspiration often comes from loved ones and animals. Their influence on us is captured in our hearts and released in all kinds of thoughts and wonderful stories.

Do you read to your cats, dogs or other animals? Do you read to your children? Reading grows our mind and enhances our intellect. Writing brings out our creativity and feeds on our experiences.

We can write to our heart's content here for all the world to read!

Although I am not able to read this to you, thank you for taking it upon yourself to enjoy!

Erin :)!
