Doodles is Here!

My precious, kissable, squeezable, lovable cat is here for eight months!!!!!! He really isn't my cat, but my son's cat. He is an alpha male, and won't tolerate my son's fiancé's male cat. Therefore, we take him when we're home. Her mother took the other cat while we were in Florida. We switch kitties in our family, but they are so well loved and happy. Meanwhile, Doodles checked out the entire house, inside and outside. He is listening to an instrumental cd that I bought in Turkey in November, and curled up at my side. I'm so happy to have him back again!!!!!

You sound happy to have him. I think he is more your cat than your son's. He probably is a lot better friend than Orville, because you can cuddle him. Enjoy your time with him.

I'm thrilled to have him, but although I claim him as my own, my son degrees. Lol! I've been itching to cuddle Orville, but that wasn't going to happen! Now, I've kissed and hugged Doodles close to one million times since he arrived late this morning.

@AnneEJ Lol! None. He is brushed daily. I may get some when I wear lipstick, but usually not. My cleaning lady said she rarely finds a hair from him on the furniture. I let him sleep on my white comforter and never saw one hair. He is a miracle kitty!!!

@DianneN Can't resist asking, do you have cat hairs in your mouth? (After kissing him)

Now it sounds like you are back to your regular life in your full time house. I'm glad that you got him back and I'm sure that you'll be happier now, especially while we're housebound due to the cooler temperatures.

@DianneN That is about the what the weather is like here today also, but its cloudy and overcast. I think that in a little while I'll go out into the front yard and try to pick up some of the small branches that the wind has blown out of the tree as of late. March winds in our area can be so brutal! Enjoy Doodles this afternoon, it must be nice to be able to curl up with him.

We are thrilled to have him back. He acts like he never left. Today was in the 60's, so I went outside with him. It's raining now, so I'm happy not to have to take him out again. He doesn't like to get wet. It will be cold again. I gave up my hair appointment just to be here with him.

@Juliaacv I picked up a few branches and twigs while I was out with Doodles before. Good exercise. I haven't walked since last week. Hugs to you!

@randomarts09 He is as sweet as a sugar cube. However, he has extra long teeth and claws, so when he wants me to put him down, I do so immediately!

He's a beautiful cat. How was your trip home? Did you see Orville before you left? I'm glad you made it home okay.

We arrived home on Sunday. It was an awful trip. I didn't see Orville, because he has been nesting with his wife. I did say bye two days before we left, just in case. Little babies next year!!!!

That is so good of you to take him while you are home. He is a handsome devil, how old is he? Curled up at your side so he feels like he is home, how cute that is. I bet he is a good companion for you.

Thanks! He is 7 and lived here when my son lived here while he was saving for his house. I need the love of an animal. Sounds crazy, but it's true. Maybe that's why I'm in love with Orville, the osprey, too.

He lived here when my son lived here, then when my son traveled, he lived here. Now, I have him when we are home from Florida for 8 months. He doesn't get along with my son's fiancé's male cat. Her mother takes him when we are in Florida. Musical cats, but it works.

Does Doodles run free outside, or do you keep him in? He's a lovely cat, and he's lucky that you love him so much.

How could we not love him? He's perfect. We take him out to hunt, although he's too slow to catch anything. I like him to get fresh air and he usually Suns himself and falls asleep.
