lotsa luck



this morning i found a big cat whisker on the floor by my chair. a long time ago, i heard they were a sign of "good luck" so i kept them in a little tin. after a few years, i had a couple dozen, and it started to be kind of a weird collection. so i threw em out.

now, i am just thankful to still be finding them! been is having a good day, and obviously we are both "lucky" to still be together.

He and i are a bit alike, except that he is getting skinnier all of the time and i am not. His latest habit is like a "voluntary time out." he goes and inserts his head in the space between the doors to the outside. Since he cannot speak, he does his best to try and communicate to me that he wants OUT. ha. it works for now, but in a few months it will be kinda sad.

today though, i think we'll both get our wish and go outside for a little while :)

i love this. good ol' been, he's such a treasure. i've never heard of the whisker luck thing, but it seems to have worked for him all these years.
