We’re all well aware that there’s a garbage strike going on. My neighbours put out this strange triangular table, hoping that someone would take it. Its been sitting outside for a few days, looking neglected. Today we got home from brunch (at Sadie’s diner, nomnom!) to find my cat Romeo sitting on the table lounging in the sun. It has everything that a kitty could want: sunshine, plant matter to eat/provide a little shade, and its at the perfect height for people walking buy to pet her.

Romeo was a street cat on my street when I moved into my house eight years ago (although she had been spayed already). She’s mostly indoors these days, but she does love getting to sleep out in the sun in the nicer weather. Its nice to watch people and children in the neighbourhood interact with her and pay attention to her. The entire street has her back!

Its also nice to see her this happy and healthy. She was diagnosed with congestive heart failure back in December and was on death’s door at that point. She was in at the vet’s this week for a checkup and the vet was impressed that she looks so good – in fact, he said it made his day. Romeo is a fighter and I’m glad that she’s had this time with us to get to enjoy days like today and sleeping in the sunshine.
