An Introduction To My World of Pets
Thought I’d venture away from my Law of Attraction entries for awhile and start talking about another near and dear to me.  The pets in my life.  I’ve had pets, mainly cats ever since I was five and a half years old.  The very first cat I got, which was a Christmas present from my mother to me was Babette, a black and white cat.  My mother had gotten her at the Greenwich Village Humane League on December 7, 1962 and it almost seems fitting that I’m writing this on the anniversary so many years ago when I got her.  She was by no means to be the last cat in my life.  I had scores others.

Currently, I’m owned by two cats.  Pyewacket is my all black cat that was born on June 11, 2001, making him seven years old now.  My other cat is Kissy, a tiger-striped cat who was born October 21, 1999.  Pyewacket is the obvious boss of the home and can’t seem to get enough of my attention.  In fact, he has a bit of a jealous streak in him.  If I’m paying attention to Kissy, no matter where he is, even in a deep sleep, he’ll somehow hear me talking to her and comes running right over to me and virtually pushes her aside. Kissy, is a bit of a timid cat who is obviously bullied by Pyewacket, but yet the two do get along.   During this summer I had gotten a nice new captain’s bed with a bookcase headboard and a brand new mattress.   Well, as you can imagine, those two have taken over.   I was so happy to get the bookcase headboard thinking I finally had a nice area to store the books I like to read before going to sleep.  Well, things didn’t work out that way.  The two of them take turns nestling in the bookcase area, so nix the idea of books there.   And they definitely approve of my new mattress as both come up and cuddle next to me while I sleep, which interpretation means I wind up sleeping like a pretzel or contortionist…in other words, not very comfortably.

It’s funny about Pyewacket though, as I honestly think he’s my lucky cat.  It seems a lot of “blessings” came into my life the moment he came into it.  Many might be familiar with the name Pyewacket as the name of the cat in that famous movie Bell, Book and Candle starring Kim Novak and Jimmy Stewart.  But I looked it up and the name Pyewacket actually goes back to Medieval England days and was always associated with black cats that were familiars to witches.

I thought I’d share photos of my Pyewacket and Kissy with you all.   First is Pyewacket, then Kissy.

I’ll be sharing a lot more stories about my cats in my next entry.  Believe me, there is a lot to tell.
