Loving Big Boy

Last Friday I began staying at my Mom's home, in Rockville, while she was in the hospital. A neighbor had been caring for her cat, so I was able to stay in Mt. Airy. Friday, the neighbor went on vacation, so I found myself at Mom's for a week.

The first evening I was there, I went to the door to see if her cat, Big Boy, was ready to come in. The above snap is what I found. I think Big Boy is telling me, "Do you mind?

Finally, the third evening I was there, Big Boy decided I was worthy to give him some loving. There's just something soothing when a cat purrs. I'm enjoying that part of my animal sitting.

He liked an afghan I pulled out of the closet. Mom is now in a rehab facility. It has been decided that Big Boy will go live with one of Mom's friends. Mom just won't be able to give it the care that is needed when she comes home. We'll miss Big Boy.
