Ooops, I see I referred to Slave as "your Mum" � my mistake, sorry!
Wouldn't it be funny if it were my painting Slave bought in that charity shop (as I gave mine away). Not that Stockholm is all that close to Scotland, but you never know.
Oh Frankie I'm afraid that just like Blanche DuBois I have to depend on the kindness of stray cats <That was what she said� wasn't it�?> When I was a child we had two beautiful Siamese cats and many years later I myself teamed up with a bondkatt (common moggie) who reached the grand old age of 17. Where I am in life now I'm not sure I'd like to keep one single cat prisoner indoors, I'd have to have two for them to keep each other sane but to tell you the truth Frankie I'm not sure I want two cats either, you see should I wish to travel somewhere it's difficult to find someone to entrust two moggies to � strange as it may seem to you. And also, it was difficult for me, as my cat's health weakened, to make those tough decisions that we of slave breed have to make. I feel in retrospect I put her through too much and waited too long to see her off at Rainbow Bridge.
That shouldn't stop me now, though � I believe we may render painful experiences in the past meaningful by doing better the second time around � but � and I'm not sure how to tell you this, Frankie: I think I'd like a� Dog. Horrible, aren't I. But love is love and I've fallen in love with Siberian Huskies� Oh but don't get yourself all upset now Frankie, I don't think it's on � I've seen better days, energy-wise, and I couldn't provide the kind of exercise one of those beasts would need, so� yeah� guess I'll always depend on the kindness of strays� Thanks for asking, though, Frankie, 'preciate it� You go back and lie on Slave now, I'm sure it'll do wonders for her breathing;-)
