Eleven Reasons I Love Rescue Cats

May 27, 2012 by Jeane George Weigel

  1. They appreciate nothing.
  2. They teach me valuable lessons about self-indulgence.
  3. If they survive, they will never stoop.
  4. They are just as independent as other cats.
  5. They will never admit to being mutts.
  6. They give me kisses when no one is looking.
  7. They will do whatever they want.
  8. They LOVE their food.
  9. They LOVE their beds.
  10. They LOVE being warm and dry.
  11. They TOLERATE me.

Love to you all,
Jeane

    love it! and I think they love you! not just tolerate you! I have 2 also and one was hit by a car and lived! crawled in the basement window , fell about 5 feet to the ground , crawled with only front legs working to the bottom of the steps and my husband found him. took him to the vet. did ivs and pain meds and managed to live and continue loving! can still manage to jump to the top of the fridge! but if I am bending down to do something he will jump to my back to get down!

      Yeah, they do… I was just having some fun with kitty stereotypes  🙂 Wow! Amazing story about your guy. So glad he’s still alive and well. My boy who’s painting with me in these pics is a real shoulder man. ‘Gotta love the kitties!

About High Road Artist IMG 9461 150x150I am Jeane George Weigel, a working artist living in the mountains of northern New Mexico, and I do not think you and I are so different.

Every single one of us longs to know what we ache for, to “follow our bliss” as Joseph Campbell famously put it. You may find yours as an artist, a writer, or a teacher. But I am convinced we all yearn to live what is in our hearts. Some of us spend a lifetime discovering what that is. Some never find it.

This blog is about a journey of self-discovery, yours and mine. I write about the experience of living an artist’s life and share musings and photos as this living experiment unfolds. It is my hope you’ll join in the conversation by writing to me about your lives and I dearly hope something, here, will inspire you.
