J.R. & Jenny's Page

When I became a cat "owner", I quickly learned how different these creatures are from the dogs I'd always had before. And it didn't take long to find out the truth behind the expression, "Curiosity killed the cat." :-) These are some pictures I snapped the first few weeks that J.R. and his mom, Jenny came to live with me. Since many of my fellow pet owners have heard me ramble on about the more humorous adventures of these roommates of mine, I decided to include them on my homepage. Besides, both cats were an integral part of making this homepage. They were either in my lap or on my keyboard, encouraging me on the whole time. You others who have feline roommates understand what I mean. -LOL-




This is J.R. picking out a favorite book to read before bedtime. 
The bookshelf is still one of his favorite spots. 
He's quite well-read by now, and T.S. Elliott is his 
favorite author. 







J.R. doesn't approve of the way I arrange my 
shoes in the closet, so he keeps them in his idea of 
order. 
Here Jenny supervises the job.





 
Jenny participates in the Neighborhood Watch Program 
by keeping a suspicious eye on the ever menacing 
Yorkshire Terrier next door.  J.R., who isn't known 
for his bravery when it comes to other
animals, hides on this side of the curtain.






Jenny, being only a year 
older than her son, quite often relinquishes her 
parental responsibilities and joins him as a 
playmate.  Here they play together, to the delight of 
J.R. who thinks his mom is kewl.







A Cat's Prayer


Now I lay me down to sleep
 
I pray this cushy life to keep.
 
I pray for toys that look like mice
 
And sofa cushions, soft and nice,
 
For grocery bags where I can hide 

Just like a tiger crouched inside!
 
I pray for gourmet kitty snacks 

and someone nice to scratch my back,
 
For windowsills all warm and bright, 

For shadows to explore at night.
 
I pray I'll always stay real cool
 
And keep the secret feline rule
 
To NEVER tell a human that
 
The world is really ruled by cats!
