Last week in Days of Our Nine Lives, the ARF cats discussed their wishes for the new year.

George

George: Hey Sadie, what’s wrong with you? You look a little down.    

Sadie

Sadie: Guess I’m missing Olivia and Leia. It’s not the same here without them.

Bobbie:  I wonder if they are missing us.  

Mr. Gray: I doubt it.  They’re probably spending time in a warm lap or snuggled up in front of a fireplace.  

George: Probably so. I’d like to curl up on a rug in front of a fireplace. It sounds heavenly.  

Bobbie

Bobbie: You’d look good in the fire light, with your orange hair all aglow.    

Mr. Gray

Mr. Gray: I think I’d look good on someone’s lap, someone I trust.  

Pepper: I’m with you, Gray. I won’t sit on just anyone’s lap. The human has to be patient and kind.  

Bobbie: Well, Grace and I are a little easier to please.

Mr. Gray:  How’s that? 

Grace: I think she’s saying she and I will take any opportunity to jump onto any welcoming lap.  

Bobbie: Yeah. Why make them wait to give us love?

Mr. Gray: Well, that’s you. I think the rest of us are just a little more particular. That’s all.   

Pepper

Pepper:  More particular, yes, but just as hopeful for a forever home. 

Grace

Bobbie:  We’re all on the same page when it comes to that.  

Pepper:  Yes, we are. Forever homes, forever happiness.   

 Whose home needs a warm, purring four-legged?  Be sure to keep up with the animal antics of Days of our Nine Lives each week.   And please stop in to say hello to the entire adoptable cast at the ARF House, 26890 Hwy 243 on Saturdays 10-4 and Sundays 10-2, or by appointment M – F by calling 951-659-1122.
