Menagerie usually brings to mind animals. And yes, I have a mini "urban" farm. My chickens give me fresh eggs everyday. My 2 Nigerian goats may one day give milk to make cheese, ice cream and etc. But I have many other "animals" that have even more importance. They are my family, politics,and education. Hope you enjoy my posts and laugh while reading my blog.
Cloud is the best cat I have ever seen. I got him when he was 5 weeks old. I got the flu the next day and laid on the sofa with him for a week. Wherever I am in the house, there is Cloud; except when I go to sleep, he doesn't follow me to the bedroom, unless his food bowl is empty or his water isn't fresh. Then he will sit at the bedroom door and meow until I take care of those responsibilities. We had him neutered and his front claws removed when he was quite young. So he is not allowed outside. I can be eating salmon and watching TV, get up to go get something and lay the plate right beside Cloud and he ignores it completely. He only sniffs or eats his cat food. He doesn't jump up on the kitchen counters. I did not train him to be like this; thank goodness I didn't have to, because I'm not very good at training cats or dogs. Actually, it's more like they train me.
He wants to be around Kennedy, but when he gets enough of her rough-housing he just leaves the room. He is a huge cat, yet very unimposing.
