Sierra

This is a furry face I love.

The expression doesn't change much but she is full of personality and she's as clever as can be.
She loves the mailman, her family and she even tolerates the dog. She gives out free kisses to anyone who wants one and will greet you on the front porch when you arrive. She is like the 'middle child' in our cat menagera. She lives between two 'oldie but goodies and two young whipper-snappers.
Sierra is now 12, and although sometimes she feels like she got the short end of the stick when it comes to attention from us, we do love her and appreciate her everyday.

                                                                      "Oh, is that so!"

 So much so, that we allow her to have a little more freedom by patrolling our property and beautifying our front porch bench.
Now, I am not in favor of free-roaming cats unless it is a very safe situation but with Sierra we had to bend the rules a little. You see, Sierra won't pee in a litter box. No siree. It's not for her. She'll even throw on a scarf in the coldest of weather and head out to a snow-bank.

                                                     "And you have a problem with this?"

She really appreciates these lovely cool, Fall days.

She came to us as an out-door cat and had no intentions of changing that status. So, we had to give in to her demands and supervise her outside until we felt we could trust her to stay on the property. She has obeyed the rules for 10 years now. The only time she wants to stay in for any length of time is to help me bake. It's her calling.

I'm not going to let Audrey see this post. If she knew all it took was for her to protest the way Sierra did to have me usher her out the door first thing each morning she would be whizzin' all over the house.
So, I'm typing this while she's asleep. *grin*

                             "Hey, did I just hear my name and whizz in the same sentence?"

Now I'm sending you off to visit one of my favorite blogs, Spot on Cedar Pond. http://cedarpond.blogspot.ca/Why do I love this blog? Well, let's see...Kathy is a breath of fresh air.
