If you need more explanation, that’s a cat draped over my shoulder. . . or, as I told some friends, this is proof that every once in a while I do get some tail.
I enjoy cats so much, I’ve even gotten interested in cat jewelry. The collection includes a selection of fine panther jewelry. And, it is a good thing that I love cats so much. Otherwise I’d be tempted to do bad things to the demanding critters. I also have a selection of cat jewelry in a Squidoo Lens – Gold cat jewelry.
Thus the open secret of my life-long love for cats. A recent addition to the family is Merkel. The idea was to call her ‘Miracle,’ but I objected to a cat with a three-syllable name. Since this is Kentucky, and we tend to pronounce words a little differently, ‘Merkel’ was suggested.
‘Merkel’ is how the word ‘miracle’ is pronounced around here. Two syllables. Mer-kell. Nice and simple.
To see this remarkable fur-ball, here is a slide show: Merkel: The early days.
