Yesterday, hubby and I were invited to meet our younger son’s girlfriend’s mother at her house and to meet the kitties.
They live 40 minutes from us and live in such a quaint New England town and in such a pretty house. However, we stayed in the backyard, wore masks, and socially distanced. Mom was a hoot and we spent 3 hours laughing and gabbing.
We did get to see 4 of their 6 kitties, all rescues. One was petrified of us in our masks and ran back into the house.
As it turned out, I couldn’t resist petting three of them. The one in the photo is a Ragdoll named Mittens. He was the most lovey. He head butted my leg until I picked him up and carried him around purring constantly. He was so heavy, fat, and fluffy, that hubs and I had to take turns carrying him.
I removed my mask, because I couldn’t resist kissing him. So be it if I get COVID. It was so wonderful being with cats again.

So happy you enjoyed yourself. That cat is beautiful. I can see why you and hubs had to touch it.

I am glad you got your cat fix on. I am waiting for you to adopt one you know. Nico says Thanks for your kind offer to adopt him, but he is staying put for now..even if he has to wear a hated colllar!

@DianneN I think he is OK with the collar but I might end up having to take the bell off

I can imagine how Sophie felt. Once we left, everyone removed their masks and the little kitty was so relieved that she started playing. My son called me earlier and told us.
It was so nice touching kitties again. These were pretty meaty ones.

@DianneN thank you. I have a funny story about "you can say that/it again". In a morning listened to BBC, learning English session and that was discussed. In the afternoon when i had a test, that word appeared in listening session. What a coincidence

I don't think you'll get Covid. You're such a strong woman,and as the way I see it you kept social distancing at the meeting yesterday! I am glad to hear you were out with your hubby and finally met your son's girlfriend's mother. I actually met some friends I made here in Chile, and was around cats. I even put one on my lap, so I hope I am not getting covid either haha!

Probably just the lift you need right now. The kitties sound lovely.

I come against any thought of that disease. My God hears my prayers for His children.
I'm so glad you had a wonderful day with the mom and the kitties. I can see the cat looks like he's in heaven in your hubby's arms. I knew you couldn't resist picking them up.
