I might have to give it another chance.<br /><br />When I was little, we had a cat, Jonothan (she was a girl cat, don't ask why it is we called her Jonothan, lol.) Later, when I talked with my mom and sister and Jonothan, I bragged about how she was MY cat. She slept with ME. But my sister said she slept with HER. And mom thought she was HER cat because J always slept with HER. <br /><br />We came to see that our sweet cat somehow knew each of us needed to feel loved. So she would go to bed with me, then leave to go to bed with my sister, then leave to snuggle with my mom. We all felt loved by her, and special because she had chosen us. When really, she chose ALL of us.ali crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13023009704454279645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328014776473730528.post-23367899995496746822010-09-09T22:49:59.952-04:002010-09-09T22:49:59.952-04:00I love cats!

Sounds sad, but I need a good cry-y book every once in a while. @Shannon's probably right; the animal always does die!<br /><br />And I think it's hilarious/awesome that your teacher asked your parents to get you a dog. :)Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08846251713093236356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328014776473730528.post-73724340556291386302010-09-09T17:54:18.228-04:002010-09-09T17:54:18.228-04:00Sounds like a wonderful story.

Not sure I can handle it because everything bout it just screams: THE CAT IS GOING TO DIE because the animal always dies! But it does sound lovely.

It's amazing how pets can comfort us. My husband often works away from home. In the early part of our relationship, we had a cat and she was truly what got me through some difficult times being by myself.
