After months of planning, and just happening to fall on the day before my birthday, I got to visit my friend, Nicholas, who has moved from a health food store on Third Avenue in Bay Ridge, to luxurious digs further down on Ovington Avenue, and I want to tell you not only did I have a great time, but Nicholas gave me a real workout!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I sat in a lawn chair on the front porch, while David, his owner, waited to see if Nicholas was up. Within minutes, he was, and came out on the porch. I gently called his name, and he looked wide eyed at me. He rubbed up against me, and, as I bent down to pet his back, he threw his head back, and I scratched under his chin--his favorite thing. I knew then he knew it was me!
Nicholas proudly showed off his new digs, walking me all over the house, keeping a close eye on me. I gave him some play gifts, which he pawed at, and then we pranced down the stairs, and walked up and down Ovington. He ate a little, then sat in his bed, next to the chair on which I was now seated, as I petted him. He began to get sleepy, then revived, and show off how he could independently walk up and down the street. To be sure, he returned. He is a refined, well behaved cat.
But I was tired from my visit! I assured Nicholas I would visit him again--maybe next month--and was so happy about seeing him. Seeing him, and receiving his love, was a great birthday gift, I can tell you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love you, Nicholas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
