We no longer have pets of our own, but enjoy babysitting and visiting our families pets.
We have a new kitten in our family. Her name is Mouse. ( Our eight year old granddaughter named her). She just spent 10 days with us. Aside from being so small and so darn cute, playful and sneaky; she managed to take over our house in a short 10 days. How does that happen? Haha
Your pets are absolutely adorable Alice. I’m sure Merlin can leap onto your computer in a flash and when you least expect him. 😊
I grew up a dog person, but it switched when I brought home a stray black and white kitten. Now, we have 2 cats and a french bulldog, and while I love them all, as I get older... they are just so much more responsibility.
In the chaos of family life, having the pets feels like a good era for us. And I also see glimmers of a time when we may want to travel and have fewer responsibilities! This is a good reminder!
I never owned a cat, only a dog once, but I do enjoy cats. One day when my mentor sent me a picture of her newly adopted kitten, a story came to me. This kitten was all black with white paws so the story came to be known as Please, Mr. Paws! This kitten is done being a kitten and wants to be a grown up cat right away. Somehow with the magic of Instagram I found a young mother and illustrator living in Southern Germany who did an adorable sketch for me based on the opening scene of my story. How crazy is this. I speak German fluently and pray that one day Anna will be my illustrator. I wish I could share this illustration somehow. Thank you.
Dogs have beautiful paws. Cats have sweet little toe beans! You are truly blessed with their presence in your life, and they are blessed with your love and caring :-)

A kitten called Mouse is my favourite thing today!!!!
Having a cat is fairly new to me too - we fostered her last September and of course ended up keeping her. She’s such a love.
And while I was writing this comment she came and sat on my chest and tried to knock my phone out of my hand 😂
My kitten KEEPS helping me write by clambering all over the keyboard ;-)))
Merlin is adorable! I'm not surprised he's opened you up to being a cat person - and I love that you call him a tiny tiger ❤️🐾
I think I'm gonna be a dog person forever.... but then again, if I met a Merlin?? 🤔
Merlin has definitely thrown confusion our way! He is so sweet!

I love both cats and dogs, but I currently have neither! After a lifetime of pet guardianship, it's actually nice to not have any pets at all.
I bet! It's a lot of fun having them in the house, but they do come with a long list of to-dos!!!

This is so wonderful. And thank you for emailing me the illustration. SO adorable!
thanks very much Alice. I hope one day an agent or publisher thinks it's wonderful too!

I feel exceptionally lucky as I look out on the freezing world. It's a little hard to write, though!
