I get a lot of funnies from living with two cats. They are older. Missy is fifteen. Barney is sixteen. Last night Barney was feeling funny. A storm was coming (it is here now) and Barney was restless and unsettled. I roughed him up and he got up and began to follow me around. I got him playing. He loves to play, but he tends to only play for short bouts of time.... about 10 minutes. I got him into his crinkly bag and roughed him up. He was in heaven. Purring so loud and rolling about making my mother and I both laugh. After about 10 minutes he lay there in his crinkly bag. Only his tail would flip occasionally. It was probably another 20 minutes before he worked his way out. He tried to crawl back in, but couldn't figure out how to do it on his own so the crinkly bag sat upright in the middle of the living room... ready for either of the cats to take another run at it.

Our other cat, Missy is a feral cat. She does not know how to play, but she was pretty buggy last night. She sits at my mother's knee and head butts her, then talks to her. I came upstairs to her my mother tell her to "shut up. I can't hear the TV."
The two cats offer laughs and soft comfort when the world gets a little too much.
