Introducing Katrina's Blog

My mother used to talk for our animals.  She would put words in their mouths and try to express what she thought the animal was thinking.  I've always done this with my pets as well.  My daughters inherited the practice and it can be hilarious hearing what we all think the cat or dog might be thinking.  

Since moving into my own apartment, I have had a chance to really get to know my cat.  When there are three women, two children and three cats living in the same three bedroom dwelling, there just isn't time to know yourself, let alone one animal.  But now days Katrina, my six year old tuxedo, has my attention.  She is the quirkiest cat I have ever had.  She keeps me in stitches laughing at the bizarre things she comes up with.  And of course I talk for her.

So I thought I would start a blog about cats in general and Katrina in particular.  In reality, she always wears an expression that clearly indicates that the lights are on, but no one is really home.  Her little brain thinks the proper response to an itch is to run away.  She sits on my headboard and stares into a picture frame on the wall and apparently thinks it's a window because she can see the reflection of the window in the glass.  She even occasionally tried to "get into" this window on the wall.  Yes, it's pretty amusing living with Katrina and I thought I would try to share some of the joy of watching her be herself.  

I'm also going to share some of the funny cat pictures and jokes I find along the way.
