Darling

I have mentioned Darling in two previous posts and so I thought you might like to see a photo of him.

Here he is with Little Kitty.

Like a lot of guys Darling has very firm ideas about what is manly and what is not. He will not wear pink and he will not drink fruity little cocktails. He likes dogs and horses. Manly animals, those are.

So who would have guessed that he would LOVE this cat? When I was a kid growing up in the south real men did not eat quiche and they most certainly did not like cats.

I have known Darling for eight years now. I never knew until this year that he liked cats. He likes this one so much that when our daughter moved out with the Labrador he said that he didn't want another dog because it might make Little Kitty nervous.

And the feeling is mutual. Little Kitty loves him. We are talking about a cat that is so shy that I worry if she ever gets outside I won't be able to retrieve her. She is so timid our pet sitter has only laid eyes on her once. She is so elusive that I have to trap her in the laundry room to put her flea preventive on her. But here she is with her "hands" all over Darling.

And one more weird thing. Darling cooks very spicy food. Little Kitty loves his cooking.
