	What Cats do for Us

Posted by: Vogelzang, 12:54 AM GMT on September 05, 2009

Warm our laps.

Give us someone to talk to.

Help reduce high blood pressure.

Bring the winter air inside, nestled in their coats.

Create a kindred feeling with other "cat people."

Turn common household objects like bottle caps into toys.

Make us more aware of birds.

Donate their services as alarm clocks.

Display daring acrobatic feats right in front of our eyes.

Contribute to living a longer life.

Make a window sill more beautiful.

Keep mice on the run.

Make us smile.

Inspire poets and playwrights.

Teach us how to land on our feet.

Let us indulge our desires to really spoil someone.

Make our homes warmer.

Remind us that life is mysterious.

Share with us the all-is-well experience of purring.

Instruct us in the luxurious art of stretching.

Show us how to lick our wounds and go on.

Give us cool cartoon characters.

Make even an old worn couch look beautiful.

Open our hearts.

Our area was experiencing severe thunderstorm warnings, which is not unusual. They also issued a tornado warning. I had already heard about the western part of Missouri having tornadoes. We are in the southeast and don't usually have much tornado activity. Plus the way we are situated on the mountain side with the va...
