For a Chuckle...




















Many heartfelt thanks to all my friends who have sent purrs to me in recognition of my son's passing. It has helped tremendously to know that I am not alone. In an effort to change the tone and add a bit of levity to my blog at this point, I am sharing a photo of my house-mate, Mia. As you can see, she has taken up the most undignified pose one can possibly imagine, and she does this with regrettable frequency. I have spoken to her about the immodesty of this practice, but she takes no heed. At least she offers amusement for the staff, who never tire of laughing whenever she decides to position herself in this ridiculous manner. She doesn't seem to mind being laughed at, and in fact seems to be totally clueless that she is the object of amusement at all. (Mia is not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree, to be sure) She is half siamese and half tortie by breeding, though the inherent dignity of these breeds seems to have eluded her. At any rate, I present to you Mia in all her glory!!

I know how you feel Leia. My brother Flynn is just the same. He has no shame.

Tristan likes to lay on her back! It must be a girl thing:) ~Crikey

Our Maizy Grace, a torbie and also not the brightest bulb, loves to lay in this position. We all get a kick out of it!

We've heard that when a cat exposes their belly this way it means they really trust their surroundings and they are comfortable.

Mia is in all her beauty!

Well she certainly is immodest, but such a gorgeous kitty. Perhaps she believes if you got it flaunt it cause she certainly has it.

Mia, if you've got it, flaunt it! And you've got it!

Callie, our tortie, likes to lay on her back although she's not *quite* so...flaunting...about it. Mia looks very comfy, though!

Purrs and hugs,

There is just no way I would lie like that. Mostly because someone would try to rub my belly and I do NOT like that.

That floofy belly is awfully tempting, Mia! I'm resisting the temptation to blow bubbles on it!
