Do not give in to sadness, torment not yourself with brooding;
gladness of heart is the very life of man, cheerfulness prolongs
his days.”

Kateri,
felis in mensa coquinae
Kateri often jumps up onto the kitchen table when I sit down
to eat or drink. I have become so accustomed to it, that I don’t
even react anymore, just as long as she stays a respectable distance
from my food. I think to myself, “What if my mother were
to see me now?” Mom would never have tolerated a cat on
the kitchen table! If you ever see me sharing the table with
Kateri, please don’t blame my upbringing. My parents did
their best to raise me with high standards. It’s not their
fault that I turned out to be such a wimp when it comes to cats!
