Kitties, the middle picture here means a lot to me. Because the kitties are watching their Dad sleep and they are joyfully imagining and anticipating the gladness that their Dad will have when he wakes to the lovingly chosen gifts they have brought him.
The last indoor-outdoor cat we had was Robin, the tiny 6-and-a-half-pound Tortie. She brought gifts almost every day. Food for the table. She was warmly praised, petted, and praised some more for bringing we four members of her family, supper. We secretly to ourselves wished she wouldn't, but we never told Robin that. We spent many many many MANY hours catching the supper still alive and returning it outside, and we stealthily removed the other meals she brought. They really and truly think they are giving us gifts that show their love.
And if that last one in the beauty parlor doesn't nail it...nothing will. I can see Katie and Dai$y there now-- In Italy of course,-- soon as they get off the jetliner they use to travel.
