I mention dogs so much, one might think I'm not fond of cats, I am. I've had cats my entire life, as long as I can remember - there's always been a cat or two. Our current cat is proving to have a personality all his own and he's not a snuggler - I'm o.k. with that. I prefer dogs as they listen better. Even now, when I call the cat sometimes he arrives quickly & other times I have to go search and usually find him sleeping on a chair. Dogs play ball & fetch better albeit I've know a few cats who also fetch', I had a friend who's cat would fetch her hair scrunch every time she flung it. I love cats but I prefer dogs.
Cats are also better imo if you have 2, preferably get 2 at the same time. Cats get into more, nibbling on plants, knocking glasses off the table, curiously exploring every new box, drawer, cupboard. Smokey had me leaping from bed when I watched him carry in a dead mouse & drop it on my dirty laundry - turns out it was just a banana peel that resembled a dead mouse (at 4a.m. without my glasses)... cats get into more trouble. Cats are very entertaining.
I'm trying to paint more cats, it takes practice. Show yourself some love by learning to draw something you love. It takes 40 days to create a habit (or break) if you like succulents -draw one every day, by the end you will be better & have a neat art collection. Even if a doodle. Try! What have you got to lose? Cats are a challenge for me, horses too. Instead of signing on to social media, pick up a pen and draw one thing - the same, like all plants or all dogs, cats, dishwater, fruit, mushrooms, birds, vegetables for examples, for 40 days.
Have you been reading about the cicadas ready to explode? It's fascinating, I remember first hearing them 'squeal' in St. Louis, they were quite distracting; a high pitched little scream "WEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" that lingered, I finally asked someone and he explained what they were & that he no longer even noticed the noise. I can only imagine how intense it would sound with a mass invasion -all at once. Trillions & it only happens every 2oo years that 2 broods are appearing at the same time. Are they edible? If so a feast will be had. Reading about bug invasions in the bible, is not something I'be be thrilled to 'experience'... I guess we'll soon find out soon enough - another miracle of nature to behold!
Will we see them up here? I'm not sure... I'll research a little more. I might even paint one or two.
