Cat Memories

Last Wednesday, my cat swarmed up over the fence after another cat and went missing for several days. I spent a lot of time knocking on doors, hanging up signs, and wandering around the neighborhood at 2 AM in the morning. After five days of wondering she finally showed up right before I was about to go out again, skinnier and smelling of someone’s garage or shed. She’s been very cuddly ever since, especially since it abruptly got colder.

So for #NailsWithIgFriends’ prompt What’s Your Favorite Fall Moment, I was going to do a pumpkin spice coffee mani, but losing my cat highligted that my best moments are cat moments. Fall is especially good because she and I have just gone through a season so hot that we don’t want to be touchin’ anyone for long. So it’s our chance to start snuggling again. Kitty snuggles are the best snuggles. Coffee is the best coffee when the cat is nearby. Food is best when the cat likes it and it can be shared with the cat. Cats just make everything better. In general. And in case you haven’t figured it out from the nail art, my cat is black. 🙂

And why does it have to be just as hard to get her to show up on my nails as it is in real life? I think I should have picked a lighter black… Unphotogenic cat saving all her bootifulness for me. 😉
