I saw these two cuties driving around one day. They were just hanging out on the front porch of their house, checking out things in the neighborhood. They look like their human parents take good care of them and are the best of buds, don't you think?
Kevin and I are so lucky to have our two kitties as companions. They are definitely lazier than most dogs and go to the bathroom in a litter box, so that means we don't take them on walks to do their business. Plus, have you ever tried putting a cat on a leash? It's pretty funny. They tend to fall over and you end up dragging them along. In other words, cats will not be led.
Which brings me to another point. New Orleans is a dog city. Everyone has a dog around here and I have gotten to know the many dogs in the neighborhood, simply by associating them with their owners when they walk by the house.
The guy in the scrubs has the cutest basset hound, except the basset hound has an extra swishy tail, like a Persian cat. There is also this other guy that walks a literal dog brigade around the neighborhood - he's walking about 4 dogs at once. I wonder if he is a dog walker.
I love our kitties. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THEM! But, I want a dog. Not a puppy, even though puppy breath is the best, but I know that right now is not the time for us to have a dog. We don't have the space, the cats would divorce us, and on, and on....
So, I get to admire everyone walking their dogs around the city, and then I return home to my kitties. They are quiet (well, Alice is quiet) and offer us plenty of affection, as long as their food bowl is full.
However, when we are able to move into a bigger place, you better believe Kevin and I are going to march ourselves down to the animal shelter and pick out a gently used dog to add to our family of fur babies.
That way, I won't get strange looks showing up at the dog park with a cat on a leash.
Happy Tuesday!
xoxo
