Lady - Welcome to the Heart of Europe

At the end of an intense working week, I draw happiness from family moments and appreciate little things in life – like a bird and a kitten. I like to think of them as friends.

 

Our life changed when we got a young kitten. For years, we had thought this wasn’t possible, cat allergies and such… A Siberian breed provided a solution to the issue, a very pleasant one. Its name is inspired by Acts 16:14. At times, we add “Little Lady” in front of it. Before baptisms, I had to be careful so that my hand wasn’t too scratched from playing with the young kitten. It was so “stinking cute,” as someone said, and it loved sniffing and spying around.

 

When our kitten spotted our parakeet, it found a little friend. At times, it would fall asleep nearby the bird cage, and occasionally they would sniff at each other. The little birdie didn’t seem to bother much although from its perspective, the kitten must have looked enormous. On contrary, it returned the affection. There are different views in life that can peacefully coexist.

 

So I am looking at those two little guys and wonder whether they are about to become something like “best friends.” “Gratitude is a key to joy in life,” I read the other day.
