Lea's The Flower Child

When I found out that I was going to get my own music posted on the site, I was so happy!  I have never really had my own anything.  I moved into a house full of people and animals and have always shared everything.  Not that it matters much because I have a family now and they all love me, except for Gina, but that's another story.  I am safe, except with Gina, and happy and love my life.  Things are peaceful and beautiful....hmmm...except for Gina.   If I wasn't such a peace loving cat, I think I'd try to do something about her.

See, I was homeless outside through the winter, and when Mom and the middle human found me, I was starving and full of fleas and mites.  I'll have to admit, I smelled awful and looked worse.  I was terrified of people and it took me a long time to realize that Mom and my favorite little girl were trying to help me.  I try hard to see the good in everyone and everything...an empty bowl of cereal is still half full of milk...a sleeping 4 year old has warm blankets...the two year old can open the treat can...you know, there is beauty in everything....yes, even Gina....when she's sleeping...in another room and doesn't know I'm there.

Frito is an amazing cat.  He's warm..he's cuddly...he gives great baths.  I love him.  I love all of the little humans and Mom, and even Dad now too.  Sal E. wasn't very nice to me when we were on the outside, but he was cool once I moved in here.  The old dog sort of scares me, so I try to keep out of his way.

Dad's pillow is about the only thing I ever consider fighting for.  That's just because it's close to Mom, and I can hide there sometimes when Gina's sleeping on Mom's other shoulder.  We both get to sleep with Mom and Gina doesn't freak out or anything, until Dad tries to reclaim his pillow and we wake up the whole upstairs.

Anyway, I love to feel calm and at peace.  Happy.  Frito's music is okay.  A little too bluesy for me.  Gina's?  I feel a hairball coming on just thinking about it.  Peace and love.
