Love is in the Air

So I've always been of the opinion that Valentine's Day is really just a Hallmark-holiday.  Do we really need a day designated to show our affection and love for, well, our loved ones?  I kind of think its hokey and I much prefer random acts of love-ness.

But this year I'm in the spirit.  Love is in the air.  I can feel it all around me.  Especially in our nest. 

Bailey Ann is also feeling the love.

 She's so stylish.

The pink really accents the black and white fur coat she's wearing.  Screw PETA she says.  I love fur coats.

The new accessory makes her ponder her beauty.  And she wonders if she'll ever find love.

She's looking for love everywhere.   It appears she's spotted something, or someone.  Could it be her true love?

WRIGLEY!  She's looking like the fine lass she is.  Proving to brunettes everywhere that pink is the new black.  Her motto for this year and advice to all single gals out there: "Smile and the whole world smiles with you." 

 Wrigley is doing all she can to put her best foot forward.  She's showing off her best side.  How can you not fall for that face?

For Valentine's Day this year, we're hoping for peace and love between the canine and feline in our house.  We're making progress.  But I wouldn't say cupid's arrow has landed yet. 

Bailey tends to take the high ground. She feels safer when she can see her prey coming.



After some begging and pleading by Wrigley, Bailey finally decides to take a step closer. But she likes to take it slow. She's not ready to jump into anything serious. So she keeps her wall up. Wrigley just wants love y'all.



But eventually Bailey decides to take a chance.  A small step in the dance of love.  She comes down to say hello, but is too shy to stay and quickly runs away.



Wrigley looks on in anticipation.  She feels like Bailey might be slipping away.  But she's hopeful. 

Hopeful that love is in her future.  With a cat.  A female cat.  Yes, its true.  Wirgley is a lesbian, or at least bi-sexual.  We're open and accepting of her choice.  It's what parents do.  We love her. 

Yet I must admit that I hope Bailey doesn't give in to Wrigley's advances.  They are sisters after all.  And that's just not right.

  1. First - I am impressed your kitty let you put a kerchief on her at all.
    Second - such pretty fur babies.

    One of my kitties seems to be homosexual as well, and we, as his humans, love him for who he is.

  2. Hey Ryan -- I had no idea you were a writer. This is very clever -- and funny -- and heartwarming. Todd shared it with some of the folks here at work. I really enjoyed it.
