Me, too...always have. I would have loved to become a zoologist and work with them in some way.
"At the Akron Zoo, when we were looking through the windows at the tigers, one of them stared at me, so I squinted my eyes at her."
"Imagine how surprised I was when she squinted back at me! That was the best kitty kiss I’ve ever had."
LOL, that makes me "Squee." I know you loved that.
"Although I do appreciate them coming from my little kitties here at home as well. They really do respond to nice kitty kisses."
They really do. I used to do them back and forth with my last cat. He would relax almost to the point of dozing off.
I hope you're doing well, sweet lady.
I am okay, thanks! The tests are all done. We’re waiting for the
genetics test results and the surgery date. I do feel all right, and
I’m preparing for a long recovery. I feel confident that it’ll be OK.
