Did you buy your cat? Or is it from a rescue centre or charity? Most of my cats over the years have just turned up as strays and so adopted me!

When I'm reading a really intersting book, unknowingly, I find myself inside the story. What I mean is, I can see in my mind's eye the location, the characters, the scenery, if there's a storm, I can almost see the wind lashing...

vkondrad Yes when I am involved with a story I find it hard to put it down because I am living within that story ... it's hard to transition sometimes because while I am doing other things I find myself thinking about the book and what is going to happen next or how...

vkondrad Thank You so much.... her Dad keeps telling me that she's my little twin... she is very close to me all the time. It's so hard for her to take any type of negative comments from others in my house (her half siblings and my husband) but I am sure she will do...

vkondrad I am beginning to think that you are right about that. I think it has a lot to do with not wanting to be away from me. She's been very clingy over the weekend and yesterday. I am sure it's just a stage but will keep my eyes open. I am going to be putting up...

vkondrad Yes I read all the time but especially before going to bed. That's the time that's "my time". I have insomnia too and have for years so I really don't think that the reading helps with that.... especially if the book is good. I read for pleasure and relaxation...

vkondrad I would have to say the only 13 I am scared of is when my kids turn 13 as that usually means that they officially start thinking that you don't know anything about what they might be going through. They grow up (not a problem) but keep you out of their life...
