I miss my dear old cat Belle. She would come running when she heard my car pulling into the driveway, tail in the air and a bounce in her step. Since I don’t drive much, my new cat Blackie doesn’t know that trick. Instead, it’s the sound of the garage door opening that has him sauntering down the walkway to greet me.

:-) My cats both come running when I get home – it is the most delightful thing in the whole world.
Ivy only has an inch long tail, she sticks it up and it vibrates like a buzzy bee – brilliant.

Aww. My two know the sound of my engine, too. (And howl if I take too long with the keys in the door.)

Thanks, for the compliment. Blackie does take extra care with his appearance and hops on his stool just so I can groom him. He’s quite the dandy!
