curious cats and then some

I was dreading that day when I had to do some digging yet again.

I still remember that time when Gab and I spent 4-5 hours digging a hole deep enough for my dearly departed dog, Nero. Back then it was just her and me and two shovels.

I feel somewhat better this time around that I had some more help. My brother and uncle were willing to help so they did most of the tough work.

But before we got to lay Ponks to rest, there goes the other cats (Saffy, Ashley and Piglet), sniffing around.

Cats are such curious creatures.

What is that saying that talks about that? Ahhh...

Curiosity killed the cat!

But what we don't know is that the often quoted English proverb is quite incomplete. We hardly ever hear the rest of it. This is what it says...

And satisfaction brought it back!

Hmmm... Hey, am not in denial here. I know that none of my dead cats are ever coming back. But I take comfort in the fact that we all had fun while they were still around. I will cherish all those furry memories forever.

Special thanks goes to Gab, pictured above with Panit and Piglet, for acting in loco parentis to the furries. See, my cats like her too. :-)
