Oh, yes, you capture that aspect of "catness." At one time the household I lived in had six cats. I could barely get in the front door for trying not to step on gamboling cats when I was the first of their humans to arrive.
As independent as cats are, they do wait for our return, and connect with us in so many ways - of course, all on their terms."holiness is being loving" Thank you.
Annie: He certainly is a joy to us (most of the time).
Patricia: He seems to know, or hears the car doors closing when we get home and seems so excited to see us.
Juliet: When we go on a trip and he sees us packing you can tell by his demeanor that he is unhappy and acts very strangely…independant, certainly but not ‘unfeeling’ if that’s a word to describe how he acts.
Judy: Thanks. I didn’t know if any one ever read that tag line. I found that phrase years ago when researching the idea of ‘holiness’ and that was the first definition I came across in Vines Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words. I haven’t seen it worded like that since, but it certainly made sense to me, i.e.; if one is being loving then one is unlikely to do those things some traditions call ’sins’.
Cloudscome: Yes, it’s almost as nice as when the grandchildren come running up to greet us with hugs & kisses!
Sweet cat!! She looks beautiful. Our dog Moose is also lonely when we’re goneand likes to leap on us when we return (all 60 pounds of him!). Really nicehaiku and photo.:)
What a pretty cat! Yes, animals can really let us know about their lonely times. Thank you.
Oh, how joyous and upbeat. Love this.

Lovely cat you’ve got! I always think of cats as being too independent to really be lonely. Hmm. Interesting…

Poor kitty! But isn’t it nice to have such a welcome.
Christine: Thanks. We think so too.
