[The Westerner]

Obsession sells copy!

The concept is bonded, attached, healthy dependency.

Now that my cat is old, she’s spending more time resting, just like old folks do. She used to be an avid hunter of hummingbirds, mice, rats and her favorite, those huge moths that come around in spring.

I deeply appreciate her extraordinary hearing, qua watchdog. Uncanny how cats hear people approaching long before human ears. Also, their ability to tune each ear directionally is helpful qua watchdog. Finally I wonder often how a cat can sit under a loud tv, and tune it out while still able to hear on another hearing channel??

Obviously I love with my pet, obsessed no, just enjoying the pleasure of her company.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Ours is 18 so he also sleeps a lot but he is on alert for any animals prowling around the homestead. He starts running back and forth and yowling when they comes on HIS property.

You can pretty much tell what is out there by his tone. His most savage tone is reserved for coyotes. The neighbor's dog is mostly ignored although his head will go up.
