Have you ever thought about what life would be like without a cat in your home and your heart?<\/p>\nHave you ever thought about what life would be like without a cat in your home and your heart?<\/p>\n
For me it would mean never having to use that tape roller gizmo on my clothes before leaving the house. I could take my black slacks out of plastic and move them to the front of the closet. I wouldn\u2019t have to vacuum furniture when I expected guests\u2014especially those with cat allergies. There would be no worries about a cat getting out when little children were going in and out of the house. There would be no nagging reminders of when it\u2019s time to eat, give treats, etc. I could walk through the house unencumbered\u2014no cats velcroed to my ankles. And the kitchen would once again be mine.<\/p>\n
I could have fresh flowers and any plant I want in my home without fear of poisoning or ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/LuckyFlowers-e1556711499625-225x300.jpg\")
spills. I could come and go without guilt or elaborate planning for the care of the fur-kids left behind. I could complete a project without an inquisitive helper, and I could get up from a chair or sofa without disturbing a fur-baby. My bed would once again be MINE and so would my favorite chair. I could also eat in peace.<\/p>\n

I could walk barefoot throughout the house and not feel as though I was at the beach. Yes, no more tracked litter and no puffs of fur to chase across the hardwood floors. I could wake up on my own without a cat jumping on my head, biting my hair, and pawing at my nose?<\/p>\n
Without cats, I\u2019d have to blame myself for lost earrings![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/daisy-300x230.jpg\")
and displaced keys. I wouldn’t have a cute little inquisitive fur-face join me in my office each morning. My house might even stay neat all the time without kitty toys, tunnels, trees, blankets, boxes, bags, tents, etc.<\/p>\n
BORING!<\/p>\n
Do you remember life without a cat? Do you agree that the pros way outnumber the cons? In my mind I can actually turn the cons into pros. I mean, without a cat where\u2019s the intrigue and laughter\u2014the joy?<\/p>\n
