Thursday Journal with Neet.

 The quote this week is 'People who hate cats were mice in a previous life' When Freda and. Eleanor are neighbours and good friends. When they were younger they both wanted a pet and their mums thought a cat would be suitable as not only did they take themselves for a walk you could leave them for a whole day and go out shopping or to visit some friends. This seemed a brilliant idea and both girls were allowed to choose their own. Freda was lucky and managed to get two a brother and sister. Tinker and Tipsy. When Eleanor went to visit her she was surprised to see Freda  outside with her two cats.

"Why are you standing outside in the snow with Tinker and Tipsy? asked Eleanor.

" Well, you must have come across the problem of visitors who hate cats, well some have just arrived, the lady is terrified of them, so I had to bring them outside until they have gone"

" Yes, that's something I've found,"  said Eleanor :it's not as if the cats are viscous or anything, but they have a knack of finding someone who just hates them and they decide to go and sit on their knee. Gosh it's cold, I know I have only walked from next door, but had I known  I would have put  a warm Winter coat on"

" I didn't have time to get one I had to grab these two and get outside, but I did grab my hat as it was on the hall stand" replied Freda. " Do you think I could come round yours with these two, or will your cat  try to attack them ?"

" They will be OK, they all play together in our garden, lets see if if they are OK in the house, if not you can wear one of  my coats and come and stand outside"

"Great replied Freda, you know I think people who hate cats must have been mice in a previous life"

It never occurred to me to do something along the lines of people not liking or being afraid of cats. Yet our gardeners wife used to be petrified of cats jumping on her knee. As my Tabitha didn't show any interest in her she got to be ok coming in where the cat was. Great story that I actually can relate to Wendy.
Hugs, Neet xx

Love your page and story Wendy. My mum had a neighbour who was terrified of cats, I could never understand it. When I came to visit mum and brought the cats, she refused to enter the house. She would see them in the window and get palpatations! Have a lovely weekend!

a great story about hating cats.
I once had an experience with a neighbor's cat, and when she was making the bed, she scratched her two legs. I suspect she wanted to play with the blanket under the bed and caught her legs with her claws. At the time I was afraid of cats for a while, but not anymore. They are just too cute.
You portrayed a great scene!

Hi Wendy, I love your clever story about cats! I think dogs are the same way - when they know someone doesn't like them, they try their hardest to get them to like them! LOL! And thank you for joining us at AJJ this month. I love the fun, Winter scene you created!! Hugs, Sharon
