Princess Ariel
The Morning Cats greet Her with a yawn, then breakfast is exciting before they venture into the fragrant morning, tails aloft, one paw lifted before stepping into their own sense of drama, proper to greet a shining day.
The Inside Cats, silky Tabs and velvet Grace, vie for Lap and Nap time with She, then settle down on window sills to watch the Outside Cats and Everything That Goes On and still She sits and stares at the screen in the Front Room.
Then Tabs decides to go out to visit next door's flats.
Princess Ariel the Old Lady, accepts her breakfast.
She settles into her winter blanket with a hot water bottle.
She can't clean herself easily these days and later accepts a brush and a cuddle.
Much purring and some dribbling.
The Gotu Kola beside the front fence is Tiger Grass, (Arthritis Herb) which is maybe why she's more agile since she moved back here with all of Us.
Then Princess Ariel notices that Tabs has returned to Our Place so leaves her warm blanket and hot water bottle and moves to Over See things from the chair beside the door.
Tabs has decided to plead for Inside Status again and Ariel sees this.
Ariel decided some time ago that it's Good Sport to Fluff Up and Swear and Curse and chase little tough Tabs who doesn't ever stop to consider how old and frail is that cross old Princess!!!
Says Ariel...
'If That Cat thinks it's all right to stand and mew for entry at The Front Door, why then she will Find Out!'
The Boss She, placating, goes out and picks Tabs up to bring her inside as Princess, glowering, growling, returns to old age and her warm blanket.
Good Exercise it is to Chase!
