So varied forms of address are fine.Jane Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13814517077774999407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202458237483635505.post-15995970803585223442008-04-12T12:54:00.000-04:002008-04-12T12:54:00.000-04:00She is a sweetie, and she thanks you for your comp...She is a sweetie, and she thanks you for your compliments (which, being the resident goddess, she <I>knows</I> are her due). When I got her (in August, from the local pet rescue shelter) I declared she was my resident therapist, and she is! <BR/><BR/>The students love her, and she is a world-class flirt, hopping onto their laps and often settling there. (I teach one of my seminars here at home.) And this winter, when I was engaged in some very complicated and intense pastoral care and the person(s) involved came here a couple of times, Miss Maya was at the door greeting them. <BR/><BR/>I say there's nothing like a sleeping cat (or a happy purring cat) to bring your blood pressure down.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, she did just jump all over the kitchen counters and stove top half an hour ago and she is so agile she was already halfway around the kitchen surfaces by the time I uttered my sternest <B>OFF!</B>. (Which she does understand. Not sure she knows her name yet though. She does know how to type; she left a message over at Mimi's yesterday.)Jane Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13814517077774999407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202458237483635505.post-45144061236590964252008-04-12T09:31:00.000-04:002008-04-12T09:31:00.000-04:00Maya Pavlova is one beautiful, sweet kitty.
