Well, now, that’s a tough one. I’d like to be a wise old owl (well, maybe not old, although I’m getting there), but that’s a myth and I’m really nothing like an owl. If owls truly were bookish, that would be me. Again, a myth.
The simple fact of the matter is, I’m more like my cats than I care to admit. I have my spurts of activity followed by long rest periods. I like my routine, except for getting up at dark o’clock in the morning.
Now, unlike my cats, I don’t care for seafood. Nothing that lived underwater, nuh-uh. And I do like a little more variety in my meals than they seem to need. But I really don’t need a whole lot of mixing it up in the kitchen, literally or figuratively. I’m content with only some variety. Or let me put it this way, I like the option of variety.
But the kitties and I have another thing in common. They check out the household on a daily basis, and so do I. They’re looking to mark territory, I’m looking to plot my next cleaning move. But you’ll see all three of us wander from room to room.
And I do like yarn. I’m constantly having to keep my cats away from my current knitting project.
I hope I’m as sweet and gentle as my kitties, but I doubt it. I think I have a little sharper edge. Okay, that might make me a little like Mimi. I guess female cats are somewhat feistier.
So, hmmm, if, like some say, my cats think I’m just one giant feline, maybe they’re right.

My World With Words 
This was fun, Belinda. Have you seen pictures online of people and their dogs…and the two look just a tad bit alike? The photos make me laugh, but yes I could see you, Walter and Mimi checking out the house, what needs to be placed somewhere else…and naptime!
The yarn comment cracked me up. With me it’s jigsaw puzzles. I love going to the thrift store and picking up a few puzzles to do between reading. White Paws, especially, will jump on the table and sit right on top of the pieces. We are alike! He likes puzzles, too. 😹

I have to laugh at your cats sitting on your puzzles. My cats will sit on my knitting patterns–I tease them about being jealous of my knitting.

We’re probably all more like our pets than we would care to admit. Ha, ha. But they are our family, right? Your cats sound great Belinda.

They are great! So I guess if I’m like them, it’s not so bad 😄

I think being like a giant feline is a good thing. Cats have got the whole living life thing down😸 A little of both works too. It’s good to see you, Belinda!
