a kitty high-five can make you smile even on a bad day

Jun 21, 2023

After taking Wanwan for cremation yesterday, Coco and I popped into JC Penney to buy her a few pair of shorts and a couple new t-shirts. That did nothing to cheer her up. Because GameStop is a short walk in the same shopping center, we strolled down the sidewalk to spend some of her birthday money there. I had high hopes that might take her mind off losing her doggie.

How much is that kitten in the window?

In the window of one of the stores we passed (the vape shop) was a kitten that didn’t even notice me but immediately had eyes for Coco. The kitty put her paw up to the window and Coco reached out to touch it through the glass. It was like a kitten high-five and produced the only smile of the day.

Today I Learned: In 1907, socialite Ida Wood emptied her 1 million dollar bank account (21 million in today’s money), declared she was “tired of everything,” and shut herself in a hotel room along with her sisters. She stepped out of the room for the first time 24 years later.
