I love them all and can't imagine not having any in the house. It would be a lot less trouble (and maybe we'd travel more), but there would be a lot less laughter too.Rianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472421271620543536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-64032844496871679172016-09-20T08:41:24.465-07:002016-09-20T08:41:24.465-07:00"...poking around your eye" Yep! that..."...poking around your eye" Yep! that's exactly what they do... and you watch them do it.

Trying not to think about it helps. I tell myself that all I have to do is 'show up'... and concentrate on that.

But Ghost was not supposed to live (due to her genetic kidney problems and suspected neurological probs). But she does fine.

Even when you have had one and all is well, I can see where it would still be disconcerting to have someone poking around your eye. Hoping your surgery goes perfectly and you are done. <br />My pets--dogs and cats-- have always had me pretty well trained. Minnie gets on the bed in the morning when I am trying to work on the computer. At first she is fine but if I don't snap to, she starts to squall. She wants brushed and won't let up till I quit what I am doing and pick up the brush. Yes your highness.

Cats certainly are trainable -- lots of movie cats and therapy cats too (look at Summer from "Sparkle the Designer Cat"). Now as far as MY cats go...I'm the one who's been trained.
