Cro`i following in her birth mother's footsteps?

The animal world is interesting- and today when a friend of mine and i were goofing around via e-mail, the topic came up about Siamese (female) cats being extra horny, and wanting THE SEX even after they are altered.

I state this because ever since I adopted Pooka and Cro`i, the mc-kittens, we often pondered why Pooka and Cro`i had totally different markings. My mom often wondered if maybe they were not really litter mates, but there is a tenderness and caring between them, so I didn't pay any heed to it. Because whether it be in the animal kingdom or the human world, you can't fake love and caring.

Anyway, read the blurb I have found on-line about (female) cats and their reproduction methods. And it also explains why Pooka and Cro`i look totally different. And it also explains why Cro`i loves all the HOT men: Colin Farrell, Johnny Depp, Derek Jeter. And why she wants to escape for kitty lovin'.

Tip 90 - Cat sex - Are cats promiscuous
Many people view cats especially female cats as sexually promiscuous creatures. One of the reasons for this notion is that when female cats are in heat they call out to let males know that they are in heat. They also mate frequently and often mate with different males that have fought with each other to win mating rights. The resulting litter of kittens may therefore have been sired by different males which can account for litter mates that look surprisingly different from one another. This reinforces our notion of their promiscuity and is classic anthropomorphic thinking. (The assigning of human attributes to non-humans)

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TODAY!

Here it is again....June 3rd. Another year gone by.....another year older. Yep, it's my birthday today. The BIG 3-2. See that, I'm not even sad, upset or annoyed to admit it. In fact I'm embracing my birthday this year. Are you scared at my chirpiness? Do you find yourself concerned that I've been abducted by aliens, since I am not upset that it's my birthday?

Don't be! Because I know that good things are coming my way. (No, I have not joined a cult and have taken to drinking the kool-aid.) With age brings wisdom, brings a sense of self. And since last week I have been at peace, and feel like I am on the cusp of good news. What good news? Or why am I feeling like this? I have no idea. Do I have less stress from work, nope. But the only thing I can think of is that with age comes clarity. I feel loved.....unconditional love. By old friends, by new friends, and by certain family.

This morning I woke up with my 'kids' camped out on the bed with me. Pooka was on the blankie...and Cro`i was asleep on the pillow next to me. As always, that brought a smile to my face. Mom came in to wake me up and had two beautiful cards for me. (1) from 'my kids', and (1) from her. By the time I went downstairs, Lola and Ida were greeting me with birthday joy. I had a ton of birthday wishes on my myspace page too. And it only confirmed for me how fortunate I am to have the people in my life that I do. When I entered my office this morning, I was graced with flowers on my desk, and some small gifts and beautiful cards. A friend bought me coffee and lunch for my birthday too. I think I got teary-eyed about five times today. Must be a sign of my maturity ro old-age.

I have my faith. So with all that being said I am going to share with you some wisdom. I hope that you already know some of this, but it's always nice to be reminded. Here it goes:

• Life is not about the destination, but the journey. Yes you will have ups and downs through-out your life. Don't worry about how hard and loud you laugh....just laugh.
• If you feel like crying- go ahead. Don't be ashamed to do so. Crying is therapeutic. But don't drown in sorrow, because things will get better.
• Birthdays are NOT about what you get as gifts. Birthdays are about being able to celebrate with friends and family. A gift isn't something something you can touch with your hand. It's counting those you love and who love you. It's a memory you can smile back on or a joke you can share with someone special.
• Don't let someone knock your interest or likes. As long as you're not hurting anyone, and enjoy what you're doing, then enjoy it.
