"Books are the perfect entertainment: no commercials, no batteries, hours of enjoyment for every dollar spent. What I wonder is why everybody doesn't carry a book around for those inevitable dead spots in life."~~~Stephen King

Some things are more important

Some things are just more important than making the bed in the morning! Making Holly move off her warm comfy spot is certainly at the top of that list. After two hours has passed, she is still lying there, in the very same spot. I wouldn't wake her up for anything! Is she spoiled? You betcha!

I once heard a story of a prophet that cut off the sleeve of his robe rather than to disturb his sleeping cat when it was time for prayers. When people noticed him wearing a torn sleeved robe they asked "why is your garment torn?" The prophet simply replied that his cat was sleeping soundly upon the sleeve of his robe and rather than disturb his cat, he cut off the sleeve and put on what remained of the garment. The story goes on to say that the prophet was so kind to animals that he would not pull the garment or awaken the cat. He'd rather cut his robe and let the cat sleep undisturbed.
