Easy Like Sunday: Nicky, One More Time
This wraps up a week devoted to Nicky for his 7th birthday. Here’s one more little story about El Gatito Perfecto: This morning, all our Good Cats were outside, with Lizzie and Kelly in front of the house and Pat keeping an eye on them, and I was watching over Caitie and Nicky in the back yard.
Nicky was sitting quietly under a tree, but all at once he grew alert and began meowing. I could see Pat at the corner of the house, standing in a small area that was both in the sunshine and out of the cold autumn wind, and I called over to her that Nicky was looking for her. She called his name, and you could see him working his ears back and forth to pinpoint the source of that sound.
Pat, Lizzie, and Kelly made their way to the back of the house, and when Nicky saw his favorite human, he dashed over to her and rubbed against her legs while she smiled and stroked his fur. It just shows that not only were we watching out for our cats, at least in Nicky’s case he felt responsible for keeping track of his human mama’s location, too.

I think it’s a black cat thing.
Nicky, you look most handsome on that red blanket!
