I needed cheering up. My housemates are good at that.
Merlin, a chocolate Tonkinese is the eldest.
Harry Potter my lovely dinner jacket cat comes next.
The baby of the family is Pru, a smoke Egyptian Mau. Photographs never do her justice, the b&w one is probably closes to her real colour and shows some of her spots.
Pru likes to cuddle Harry, Merlin likes to cuddle up to Pru, sometimes though a family cuddle is the only way to go.

Reading my favourite blogs this morning something Peter on Naked Blog said caught my eye:
...He told me his son wants to be a movie director and I said he should encourage him. He said he'd prefer it if he got a regular job. I said phooey to that. If you don't have a dream.
My son wants to be an actor but worries about the future if he follows a dream that turns out to be just that. I point to my life. I did all the 'right' things. Made the 'sensible' decisions. Then one day I realised that 'right' and 'sensible' were dull and unfulfilling companions. My dreams still ached and my life felt unlived. Now, finally, I am reaching for those dreams. Maybe they are just dreams. Maybe I will never be able to make them into reality. But at least I will know that I tried.
