My Furry Friends
2011/07/17 § 17 Comments
Meet my lovable furry friends who came to visit and who I’m visiting this summer. They’ve been the perfect houseguest and companion.
Here is James Arthur D (aka Artie).
Artie’s so great to walk around the streets with, keeping in step with me and stopping at intersections. He’s so well-behaved and doesn’t fuss even when he has to wait outside restaurants while we’re brunching. Neither does he complain in the company of hysterical people watching a mad game of futbol…
He’s the cutest little dog!
And this is ImmanueI Kant (aka Manny) who is also Artie’s friend
He’s got to be the sweetest cat around. See how he sleeps with me…with his arms extended over my arm, as in a hug.
Or with his paw and head draped over an arm…
He sits patiently while I’m in front of the computer for hours…and when he can’t take it anymore, actually stands and reaches over the chair and taps my back. And when he thinks it’s bedtime, he starts jumping up and down the bed to tell me it’s time for me to sleep as well.
He loooooves to sleep…
And even reads the blog with me…
He doesn’t content himself with nestling in the crook of my arms…
One morning, I woke up with this furry ball snoozing on top of my chest (fat belly, four legs, and all), his head on my shoulders. Snoring….
Don’t I have the most adorable friends??!!

They are so lovely, and your cat, I loved so much, I have a cat too, and yes, you are right, they are best friends. Thank you, have a nice new week, with my love, nia
Thanks, Nia! Manny is actually my friends’ cat. Have a lovely week yourself!
You most certainly do! Thanks for being such a kind host to Artie and me. The pictures are GREAT! He sends his best.

P.S. While I think Artie would describe Manny as a friend, I’m sure Manny would disagree. 🙂
I miss Artie!!! Hope to see him again soon!
And you said you weren’t into pets . . . These two are adorable! The photos are really beautiful too.
Hi Lisa! Hehe. You remember. But we have a new dog in the province who’s so sweet and wants to be petted all the time – but she’s so big (half Lab-half Doberman) that everyone’s scared of her. Poor Lucy.
Now, Artie just came to visit and he’s the smartest little dog and I’m glad he likes me too. I’m watching over Manny for a short while and I was scared of him at first. I thought it would be okay though since cats are not like dogs and he would be aloof and stand-offish. But see what he does? I thought wrong!
They are adorable! I particularly like how Manny drapes arms and limbs all over you, that’s just toooo cute. I think it is THE BEST thing in the world if a cat walks all over your body when you’re kinda asleep, looking for a place to snuggle in close, before kneading your arm or leg or stomach until it takes on the right shape for the cat. 😉 Ahhh, heaven. And that purring rumbling sound in your ear and resonating through into your very being… ahhhhh….
Hi Reggie! Yes, he is super adorable and very comforting. Sometimes he ends up kneading my armpit which is really ticklish and I tell him to stop. Now he thinks I don’t like being kneaded, which isn’t true.
Have a good week!
Of course it can’t be true – EVERYONE likes to be kneaded. 😉
Our Tuffy-Cat is also partial to armpit-kneading… and boy, can that make one go through the roof with the tickles!
True, everyone does 😀
I’m sure your tuffy-cat is also super adorable!
you certainly have the most adorable friends!!
I´m having … a bad patch? but I´ll blog very soon.
Everybody is disappointed here, you should see the guy´s faces!!!
Hope you feel better soon! I miss your posts!
I can imagine how bad the boys there feel. Sorry, but I super dislike your coach. Bad tactics, I think 😦
So cute !

They are very cute, aren’t they? Thanks for dropping by!
Cats really know how to be comfortable 🙂
They do, right?! Have a good Friday!
