Hi boys and girls!
‘The Cat Who Wanted a
Dog‘ is a children’s
coloring book based on a real cat who meets our visiting grand dog and becomes
friends with him after a really bad beginning. Toby wanted to write this story
all by himself but his claws kept getting stuck in the keyboard. So I told him
that I’d help a little. This handsome cat is not your ordinary cat. He also
insists that he’s a doctor. I will admit that when he lays across my aches and
pains and purrs, I do feel better. He also does this to other animals and
children and they all feel better too. The animal doctor says that the sound of
cats’ purring hits a note that is healing to people, themselves and other
animals. Isn’t that
amazing?
Toby
has lived with Grampa and me since he was a kitten. Normally he is a
well-behaved cat, except when the Christmas tree is decorated. He waits until
nighttime and takes all the soft ornaments off the branches. At least he leaves
the glass balls alone! Then he curls up in the manger of straw and cuddles with
the baby Jesus.
“Don’t
give me a dirty look, Toby. You know this is true.” Well, he’s off to sulk in a corner and wait
for his friend, Casey, to stop by the screened in patio so he can complain to
her about me. Sigh. We feed Casey and give her warm blankets and a litter box
but even Toby can’t convince her to come into the house. Se likes her freedom. I
know Toby is sad since our grand dog went back to his home after a long visit.
He keeps trying to tell me something. Can any of you figure out what it is
that Toby wants from me?
