We have determined that at our age we shall remain that way.
Except . . .
One of our neighbors has a cat that apparently visits numerous homes in this area.
Matty is an extremely friendly beggar who has found that he will get a small treat from me each day and a small pinch of catnip.
He wolfs down the kitty treats, eats a bit of the catnip and rolls luxuriously in the remainder and then settles in on our couch for a nap.
Yesterday he slept there for hours.
Today just a "cat nap" before taking his leave.
But long enough for me to take his picture.
He and we both appreciate his visits, which have become daily since he learned he can get cat treats here.
My daily cat calendar page today features a beautiful golden kitty and what passes itself off as an Italian proverb: "Happy is the home with at least one cat."
Even if he's just a visitor.
