{30 Day} Photo Fun: Day 10 - Animal

We have a guest in our home. She's been visiting since the summer of 2009. Most days, I feel in my heart that she's become a permanent part of our family. On other days, I wonder when our visitor will be returning home. The days of the latter would be when I see my shredded living room furniture or hear her trying to start in on my hard-worked, reupholstered dining room chairs.

K.C. — Our feline guest

Of course, I'm referring to our feline guest, Miss K.C. She can be quite the character, what, with her own version of musical chairs and all. It can be quite comical, this game she plays. Seriously, she could be quite comfy right where she's at...until you get up...or walk into the room to sit down. She literally races you to your spot. And if, at the last second, you decide to sit elsewhere, you got it, she leaps to her new found love of utter comfyness — YOUR SEAT! And then there's the moments when our entire family is sitting down together to take in a family movie or TV show. While all spots (the good ones, anyways) are taken up by us humans, you'll find Miss K.C., sprawled out nonchalant-like in the middle of our living room floor looking as if she has not a care in the world. DON'T. LET. HER. FOOL. YOU. She's alert and quicker than a fat kid after an ice cream truck!

But with that said, what else can I say, other than: WE LOVE THE BEAST! [Yes, beast. Don't judge. Oh...didn't I share that we're pretty sure she's a Maine Coon Cat? She came to us weighing approximately 24-lbs. Yes. Twenty-four pounds. She's now down to a healthy 16-lbs. Still...a beast of a cat, indeed. But — for the most part — a lovable one.]

Blessings from a cat lover (visitor or not),
