Over the weekend I found some old slides of our kitten we got back in 1993. He had a lot of love to give us, and we had much to learn from him. Boxes, bags and newspapers were his favorite things. He would play hard and then take a nap. Then he was back at it for a second round. Problem was he racee up and down the stairs at !0:30 at night, right after we went to bed. He was with us for the next fifteen years. We loved him dearly.
Play hard // take a nap
A balanced life // play and rest
A lesson to learn
No care in the world
For us // cares overwhelming
Learn to live and love

Yes, these are when he was still a kitten! He was the runt of the litter, but we liked him so he was ours!
