I was always taught that "I WANT" don't get! In the case of my cat Sammy Jo that doesn't apply - she said so! The photo is of Sammy Jo as a tiny kitten, fascinated by the fire, which she had never seen before. She is still a kitten at 16 years old.

"I WANT"! She’s as mad as a Hatter Her eye’s spittin’ fire As she stands here Just screaming at me. ooo "I want to go OUT! I want to go PLAY In the garden NOT tomorrow, TODAY! You just sit here all day On that wretched machine I’m neglected, forgotten Do you HEAR what I say. I want YOU to come too Give ME some of your TIME! Pay attention to ME, FORGET about rhyme. I want to go play, It’s a nice sunny day And if you don’t come too I WILL phone the RSPCA! I’ll tell them you neglect me How you treat me so mean, That you love your computer Much more than you love ME! If you don’t come out NOW I might run AWAY, And you won’t see me Till the END of today! Come play in the grass, I’ll roly-poly for YOU! Just for YOUR enjoyment (and mine too!!) You can make me a necklace Of a pretty daisy chain, And I promise to wear it Until I lose it AGAIN!!" Jackie S Brooks 4 August 2003 Well, I am off down the garden now folks, her Ladyship Sammy Jo has spoken!!

Another wonderful look into the world of our cats.....Sammy Jo is a lucky lady indeed and I know you and Jim feel lucky to her her and your other "furry kids" in your world!

Heeheehee! I can relate to this one. My cat even sits up on beside my keyboard to get my attention. I had to pull a chair over to let him sit beside me when I'm at this computer. They are soooo dominating!...Hahaha!
