New year’s resolution: Play more often!
Just before the end of 2013, my husband and I adopted a new cat. Cinder is a beautiful tortoiseshell, who is just over one-year-old. She loves to play with toys and enjoys hide-and-seek. She also loves to explore and to run through the house. Her energy sometimes seems unlimited. So, I have begun setting aside time every day to play with her, because I don’t want to miss out on this active part of her life.
I’m terrible at play. My husband says that whenever I clear stuff off my schedule, I just fill it back up with more stuff. He doesn’t think I’d know what to do with free time. And he might be right. When I do have a free evening, I often have no idea how to handle it.
If I become too immersed in my own pursuits, Cinder sticks her face into mine and demands attention. Then I get down on the floor to crawl after her, play peek-a-boo, or rub her tummy. Even if she’s contented in her own playtime, I often end up checking on her. That’s because she might be on a forbidden shelf or otherwise getting herself into trouble. I love how much Cinder adds to my life!
That’s my week. What about yours?

People who don’t have pets just don’t understand how much joy they can add to everyday life! Congratulations on your new family member!
