Spring Musings

And so I find myself here, about to compose my second blog entry, having been pleasantly surprised today by what I have discovered on the internet! I thought that I might find a few other cat bloggers who might be willing to link to mine, and what do you suppose I found.....?? HUNDREDS of cat blogs!!! And what appears to be a lovely network of feline authors, all happily posting and commenting on one another's literary endeavors. I do hope to become a member of this most austere society, and shall continue to write and wait and hope that others will find my entries interesting and leave me a comment.

In the meantime, I must report that Spring here in New England has been quite enjoyable, from a feline perspective, though the staff's never-ending complaints regarding the abundance of rain resound on a daily basis. What, may I ask, is wrong with a delightfully rainy day....?? All the better to find a cozy spot to curl up and enjoy an extended catnap, letting the cares of the world drift away on a dream. Such has been my experience this Spring, and one can only hope that Summer will follow suit, as I dread the heat of the hot sun during that season of the year.

My contented period of napping was, however, marred by one tragic event in May - but I find I am as yet unable to talk about it, as the trauma leads me close to tears which I am loathe to let fall. Suffice it to say that since that day, I have found the napping less than satisfactory and have been quite restless of late, not knowing exactly what to do to soothe myself. It is my good fortune that my favorite person, a former maid of mine by the name of Johanna, is returning from college tomorrow afternoon, and will be spending the evening with me. While she is a mere human, and lacks the sophistication and refinement of the feline species, I have always had a particular fondness for her, and do look forward to the respite from my troubles.

I do apologize for having mentioned my great sadness without putting a name to it for my readers, but I will pledge that soon the truth will be disclosed in full and you will certainly understand why I am reluctant to discuss the matter at this early date, so hard on the heals of the tragedy. In the meanwhile, I thank you for your patience and do hope that you will continue to follow my writings until such time as I am able to confide my woes to you, which will not be too very far in the future.

And so, I must go and bathe myself and then rest up for my visitor tomorrow. I shall continue to browse through the blogs of all those cats which I have so recently discovered, and don't be surprised if you find a comment left by myself one day very soon!
