I read your article in the Irish Times (the Leaving Cert letter) and it was lovely and very true - to date only had sons fly the nest but teen daughter gone into JC will be off in a few years (less if she gets her way and avoids TY!)<br />As for cats - had one as a kid but got allergic and now we have a great dog, big foolish lab cross with lots of energy. As for the cat woman in UK, she spawned a few spoofs - best one was on Facebook from a Tipp fan - putting a Kilkenny cat in the bin! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlM0ihe7IfA<br />Have a look. <br />All the best, Catherine.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116884676266268214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525848878710274126.post-53808991466733506772010-09-02T09:46:45.061+01:002010-09-02T09:46:45.061+01:00Thanks Mia - yeah Pasqua is a bit odd but as we kn...Thanks Mia - yeah Pasqua is a bit odd but as we know he has had a traumatic life.

I am back from a little break in Kilkenny (again) and catching up with blog posts etc. Well glad to see that this 'Cat' post hit such a nerve with many!<br /><br />Hi Maria - thanks for liking my post altho I know you reserve judgement on cats!<br />Hi Jacky and Cee - think I am preaching to the converted with you guys.. cat lovers always welcome at my kitchen table (once you shoooo off the cats!!!)<br />Brigid - you own one 7th of a cat - explain?<br />KarenG - not surprised you like cats. <br />Hi Jayne - glad you like the photo - that is Pasqua - a shy and delicate soul. He had a rough childhood with a bad car accident which has left him with a crooked mouth and gimpy leg but he is a sweet heart!<br />Jan - what can I say! A Christian Scientist dog and atheist chickens - there is a story there!<br />Hi Clive - welcome back from your travels. Cats are so tuned into people's energy. So not surprised your moggie is great with Murray! Cats deal with people's souls and hearts!<br />Hey Ann - thanks for commenting - so nicely!<br />Padraic - totally true about Cats.

This is what you said on my latest post where I asked the question, Is blogging really writing. Well, it IS writing, and excellent writing, in your hands. This post has kept me entertained and interested. And it recalls memories. My youngest daughter LOVES cats; she has three. She also has two adorable jack russell terriers. I have come to like dogs; these two are so lively and loving. Yes, cats seem aloof, but you have captured their spirits so well here. My daughter Jen loves cats the most; she had a Silver Persian she just loved. She called him Perseus and also Babby. She had to give him up when my husband and I divorced and we moved east; she'll never forget him.<br />Oh, the cat stories!

A cat took up residence with us seven years when we moved in and she's wonderful - she has an unbelievable understanding of Murray and will allow him to do anything with her - the rest of us she barely tolerates and will claw at will. But we love her so much for her understanding and patience with Murray!Clivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02977646141133705414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525848878710274126.post-88916513377045272212010-08-29T22:00:56.128+01:002010-08-29T22:00:56.128+01:00I always had cats but now am allergic...all were g...I always had cats but now am allergic...all were grand but the last one.
