You Brighten My life, Little One!


You Brighten my Life, Little One.  Full of youthful zest, curiosity, imagination
You pounce on me, demand attention when it is meal time and I am slow to notice
Just when I am overwhelmed by your playful spirit, you suddenly take a nap.

You are christened Lennon, in tribute to John Lennon who lived with such passion, open wide to a life no one before him ever imagined.  With his melodies and his lyrics, he continues to move us to have the courage to love today, as we have never before experienced love.

In the night you romp as you choose, but have learned to not expect me to join you.  However, if I do get up at 4 am, you are right there, eager to be touched, and yes fed a bit too.
Some nights you're on your own.  Others you come to join me for a snuggle, purring your delight to be cuddling with me, warming my bed, warming my heart.  These tender times are fleeting, for you are off exploring after maybe 15 minutes, or you fall into a deep sleep.

Welcome, Lennon.  You are a bit wild and very free, but social, affectionate and eager to meet anyone who comes into our tiny home.  You are the balm I've been needing when I am lonely in the mornings.  Thank you sweet, kitty, for brightening my life, and doing so for my friends as well!
